Brit tourists are frogmarched along a beach in Thailand
Two British tourists were marched naked along a Thai beach and arrested after being allegedly caught 'having sex' in the sea.
The couple were spotted together in chest-high water in front of beachgoers on Sunday morning at 2.30am in Pattaya, a resort south of Bangkok.
Shocked onlookers reported that the pair were allegedly having sex to police and officers soon arrived, forcing them to get out of the water.
They are then filmed stumbling along the sand while two unimpressed officers look on - even as the man drunkenly runs back into the sea.
The naked man and woman, who was wearing just a bra, eventually got dressed and packed away their beach hammock.
But the woman protested, saying: 'We're not going to the police station, we're going this way yeah.'
Officers then walked them to Pattaya City Police Station where they were charged with public indecency and each fined 1000 Thai baht (23 pounds).
They were later released after they had apologised and sobered up.

Police identified the man as Liam Whitbread, 26, from Grimsby, but have not yet released the name of the girl.
Lt. Col. Sombat Kaewmuang, Deputy Inspector of Investigations, said: 'Police received a report at 2.30am on July 23 that one male and one female tourist were naked together on Pattaya beach. Reports were they were having sex.
'Both Thai and foreign tourists had gathered around them. Police checked and both the man and woman were intoxicated.

'They walked naked out of the sea and staff made them wear clothes.
'Reports were that they were having sex but they both denied this and it is not possible to prove it.
'Thy were both naked in the sea playing together and they guilty of breaking Thailand's law on indecent conduct in public, obscenity and drunken behaviour.
'They were both British. They were detained and interrogated and both were fined. They have apologised.'
Lt. Col. Kaewmuang said there were currently no plans to hold a conference to force the couple to publicly say sorry.Â
They were taken to a local police station where they were each fined 1000 baht, or around twenty-three pounds
This year Thai police launched a crackdown on, Pattaya, the so-called sex capital of the world, with raids on nightclubs and illegal brothels.Â
Authorities have also started demanding tourists show that they have at least £230 in cash per person before entering Thailand to show that they aren't 'begpackers'.
A record-breaking 32 million foreign visitors traveled to the country in 2016, with even more expected this year.
