Police have been asked to take action against a tourist who sat on an endangered coral reef.
The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources used a photo of Wisutr Rattanasathian posted on his Facebook account as evidence for the complaint.
Mr Wisutr was pictured sitting underwater on the coral reef at Koh Khram Noi in Sattahip district.
Officials said the man would be charged for posing a danger to an endangered species as the reef in the picture was protected under Thai law.
The tourist could be fined up to 1 million baht or imprisoned for up to 10 years or both if he were found guilty.
Mr Wisutr, 45, later met with police. He said he had never intended to damage the reef.
The photo was taken last year and posted on his Facebook page on Saturday, he added.
