In related Pattaya news, outrage erupted among Thai social media users after a video emerged showing male tourists urinating on Pattaya Beach. The video, shared by a Facebook user with the caption “Swimmers swim, and urinators urinate,” quickly went viral within a popular Pattaya Facebook group, which boasts over 200,000 members.

The incident has sparked widespread anger, particularly among Pattaya locals, who questioned why the tourists did not use the available restrooms. Many expressed concerns that such reckless behaviour could tarnish Pattaya’s reputation as a world-class, family-friendly tourist destination and potentially deter future visitors.

One local seafood vendor criticised the behaviour, stating it was unacceptable and pointing out that restrooms are available nearby.
