A foreign tourist was reported to have masturbated in public on Pattaya Beach after becoming heavily intoxicated, drawing attention from nearby tourists and local residents.

According to the post, the tourist was naked below the waist after pulling his trousers down, exposing his genitals while masturbating in full view of people on the beach. Thai bystanders attempted to intervene and warned him about his behaviour, but their efforts were unsuccessful as he appeared unaware of his surroundings.

Local media visited the beach to gather further information. Witnesses stated that the foreign tourist had been visibly intoxicated since early in the evening before engaging in the act in an area frequented by tourists, including families.

People at the scene reportedly approached the man and asked him to pull up his trousers. However, witnesses said he remained unresponsive and appeared not to understand or react to the requests.

The incident was shared online alongside the message: “Free visa, more than a thousand stories every day #freevisa #tourists #seizure #PattayaBeach.” The video attracted attention on social media and prompted discussion about tourist behaviour in popular destinations.

Authorities had not been mentioned as taking action in the information available at the time of reporting. No further details regarding the tourist’s identity, nationality, or condition were provided.

Amarin reported that the circumstances surrounding the incident remained limited to witness accounts and the video shared online. It was unclear whether any further investigation or official response would follow.

What makes people lose their sense of judgment when visiting Thailand?

Alcohol, other drugs.

I know this is the semi-tropics, but surely somebody could have found a bucket of cold(ish) water.

and pre-existing psychological issues that people take with them wherever they go

What a jerk !

What, no 500 baht to get somebody else to do it for him?

masturbating in Pattaye???? so many help around as you don't need to do it there... but of course some people are crazy and don't know how to behave.

It's reputation as a sex capital. The lack of enforcement compared to other countries, with those coming thinking they can do whatever they want as it's that lenient attitude here. At least until they become a victim of enforcement. Others before them telling of the wildness of the tourist areas and the women available for a smaller price than back home.

I'm thinking this person wouldn't have tried this back home but who knows. No matter how drunk one is, this type of behavior usually doesn't happen in public without a partner.This type of exhibitionism goes into hatred, intimidation or a lack of taught boundaries, "forcing" others to watch.

Perhaps he often masturbates on beaches in other countries too.

A handful of sand thrown over his todger would probably have stopped it.

Yep, only a real perv would do that. And the clown that decided to video it is in no position to defame the guy.

Maybe he was just to checking to see if the viagra he bought from a street vendor was genuine.

If the guy had any morals or respect, he would of at least had sex with a woman on the beach in Pattaya...

Worst thing about this is he's doing someone out of a job

Indeed, there is a long list of "reserved occupations"which foreigners can not do...

Perhaps someone rubbed him up the wrong way.

Don't be shy, tell us where you like to do it.

One question:

Happy ending ❓😂

I'm surprised there wasn't a demarcation dispute with the local freelancers.

Its a little like visiting Patpong in the old days when people tried to sell you sex CDs in the market...

To settle a bet...

Anteater or army helmet?

Or them selling sex toys !

Best to stick with pointing Percy at the porcelain.

Long overdue public reminder for some of these bar girls who perform like dead fish in bed that there are other options out there for their services.

Yeah, exactly! Which means, there is no reason at all to lay down in the sand, strip down and take care of yourself in public view.

Could have a fetish for sand under his foreskin! As my mother used to say, "it takes all sorts"!

Well, that's what you get in British boarding schools, if not worse..
