A Ugandan woman attempted to evade an immigration check by feigning a seizure on Pattaya Beach after being stopped by officers late during the night of 7 February.

 

The incident occurred during an inspection by immigration officials following widespread online criticism of large groups of Indian tourists allegedly drinking alcohol, littering, and sleeping on the beach. The social media backlash had raised concerns about the impact on Pattaya’s reputation as a tourist destination.

 

During the routine document inspection, officers approached a suspicious individual, later identified as Miss Irene Nakyanzi, a 39-year-old Ugandan national. As soon as she was asked to provide identification, she fled on foot. After a brief chase, officers caught up with her, at which point she dramatically collapsed onto the sand, pretending to have a seizure, shocking onlookers.

 

Upon verifying her passport, authorities discovered that Nakyanzi had overstayed her visa by an astonishing 603 days, having remained in Thailand illegally since 15 June 2023. After medical treatment she was taken into custody and will face legal proceedings before being deported.
