A drunk British tourist has been arrested over a naked hotel rampage in the Thai 'Sin City' of Pattaya.

The 26-year-old man allegedly threw furniture around his room on the sixth floor of the building in the early hours of Sunday morning.

He is said to have been seen naked in the corridor before spraying a fire extinguisher over his bed.

Staff at the Centara Nova Hotel & Spa cowered in the reception while they waited for police to arrive at the building.

Officers bashed open the door to find naked in his ransacked room with cash, broken glass, plates and cups scattered across the floor.

He was ordered to cover up with a pair of pants before being taken in handcuffs to a police station.

Police Captain, Kittisuk Suthinitaswong, said the Brit put on shorts before being loaded into the back of the police pickup truck.

He said: "Officers inspected the room and a number of items were taken away as evidence. The foreigner had vandalised his room while deploying a fire extinguisher.

"He was very agitated. He looked like he was drunk or under the influence of drugs and was taken to the station for tests.

"He was handcuffed as he was not cooperative with the police at the hotel."

Officers held the man in a cell while they waited for him to become coherent.

The officer added: "He will have to pay for the damage he caused.

"There was money confiscated from his room. CCTV has also been checked to use in the case against him."

Thailand's current military government has made efforts to clean up Pattaya after it was dubbed the 'sex capital' of the world, and is the centre of the country’s sex tourism industry.

A large number of British expats have also set up bars in the city, making it an attractive place for pensioners to retire.
