Residents in the southern province of Krabi condemned two overseas men for his or her unruly behaviour after they put their lives in danger to climb a 16-metre tsunami warning tower on Ao Nang Beach. Witnesses speculated that the duo was drunk.
A 25 year previous Thai woman shared a video of the two foreigners with the Thai information agency. The footage taken at 11pm on Wednesday, June 21, depicted the 2 foreign men climbing the warning tower and screaming out loud in exhilaration at their audacity.
The Thai girl, Ameeroon Luebasani, a workers member of a close-by shopping mall says that she saw two foreign girls and two international males strolling out of an leisure venue in an intoxicated state
As they arrived on the tower, the two males proceeded to climb roughly 5 meters whereas the two girls cheered them on.
According to Ameeroon, as police officers approached the scene on their motorcycles the international women demanded the two men come down. The males rushed down and rapidly left the scene. Luckily, no one sustained any accidents throughout this incident and no damage was done to the tower.
Ameeroon acknowledged that she didn’t get angry at the foreigners, however she was concerned about the picture of Krabi province if an accident occurred. She speculated that folks would blame the local people for failing to make sure the protection of their international guests.
Other residents also condemned the two foreigners for his or her inappropriate behaviour.
In January, a overseas man confronted punishment from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation for his climbing antics. In this case, the international man did not climb a tower in the city but he did climb a limestone cliff within the province without security gear.

He said that the department punished the international man although particulars of the charge weren’t disclosed..
