PATTAYA - Two foreigners were arrested naked on a beach in the resort city on Sunday, police said.

Pattaya police rushed to the beach in front of the Central Festival Pattaya Beach shopping centre around 3am after bystanders alerted them that they had seen two foreigners -- a male and a female -- naked.

Police said the two were drunk and were ordered to get dressed before being taken to Pattaya police station. 

Pol Capt Sombat Kaewmulsuk, a deputy superintendent of the police station, told Thairath Online that they were Russian tourists.

The two were charged and fined for public indecency and inappropriate behaviour causing trouble to others.

Police did not give details of the fine, but the Criminal Code states that public indecency carries a maximum fine of 500 baht.
