‘Drunk’ British tourist arrested after ‘trying to have sex in hotel lobby’

A British woman is spending Christmas Day in a Thai prison cell after allegedly attempting to have sex on a glass hotel table before fighting with police.

The woman is said to have ‘straddled’ her partner in the lobby of a hotel before it shattered in Pattaya around 3 am.

After the incident unfolded, she allegedly ran off before encountering an armed officer near the beach. Passerbys eventually helped to detain her.

Footage showed her insulting officers as she was marched in handcuffs to the police station, without her boyfriend.

She was heard saying: ‘What are you doing? Oi, somebody English. F****** f** s***** c***.’

The woman also urged officers to ‘record her’, saying: ‘England, I’m from England, mister. Hey, mister please, keep recording everything stupid little fat f****** pudgy c***.’

An officer told her to ‘shut her mouth’ before putting her in a holding cell to sober up.

Police Lieutenant General Ittikorn Saikratok said: ‘The British woman is still in the cell this afternoon but she’s still very drunk. She hasn’t sobered up yet. She has been making a lot of noise all night but nobody can understand what she is saying. She is yelling and incoherent.

‘She has no identification on her so we don’t know her name. I told her to go to sleep. When she’s sober and can speak more clearly, a translator will come and help with the situation.

‘We advised the hotel staff to file a crime report with evidence of the damaged item and wait for the woman to sober before starting discussions about compensation.’

Staff at the Flipper Lodge Hotel where the incident started said the woman and her partner began having sex on a sofa before one of them allegedly tried to sit on the glass table.

A staff member said: ‘Both of the foreigners were not hotel customers. They were drunk and entered while we were working, and we didn’t notice them because we thought they were our customers, so we didn’t pay attention.

‘After a while, they did something obscene. They started trying to have sex on a glass table, causing it to break along with other property. We approached them and discovered they were not hotel customers, so we ushered them out.

‘However, they refused and caused a commotion, so we took them to the police station to file a report and calm them down. We will need to proceed with pressing charges because they damaged the hotel property and must take responsibility, though it’s not a huge issue.’
