PATTAYA – A early morning incident involving a heavily intoxicated woman culminated in a dramatic rescue operation after she soiled a ride-hailing vehicle and subsequently attempted to drown herself in the sea. The event unfolded in the early hours of October 11, requiring intervention from both police and bystanders, Siam Chon News reported.

The disturbance began when a Bolt driver arrived at Pattaya City Police Station seeking assistance with a passenger who had defecated and urinated inside his car during a trip. The woman, identified as 41-year-old Ms. B, was reportedly severely intoxicated. The driver informed authorities that he sought only compensation for the cleaning costs and did not wish to file formal charges.

Ms. B’s foreign husband, present at the station, agreed to cover the cleaning expenses, resolving the initial dispute. However, the situation escalated when Ms. B, apparently overwhelmed by embarrassment and distress, suddenly ran across the street and jumped into the ocean. Police officers and bystanders immediately launched a rescue effort, spending over ten minutes attempting to coax her back to shore as her husband pleaded with her from the beach.

After sobering slightly, Ms. B offered apologies to the driver, police officers, and members of the public for the disturbance. All parties accepted her apology, and no further legal action was pursued.
