A video has emerged showing the dramatic scenes as police raid an illegal orgy that was being held in a Thai hotel.
Dozens of middle-aged British tourists were among the captured crowd along with multiple young Thai women.

After being tipped off about the swingers' party in Pattaya, police and army officers stormed the hotel on Saturday night, much to the confusion and shock of the attendees.
Chaotic scenes show naked men and women attempt to cover themselves and their faces as the officers close in on the gathering.
From the looks of it, that was one heck of a party. The owner of the Tulip Hotel - 53-year-old Sheng Liao Yang- had been reportedly holding these sex parties regularly, charging guests 1,500 baht (£35) per session.
The hotel itself is split into several zones over the 30 rooms and four floors, with one area as the dedicated 'play zone'. Officers described how most of the participants were in this zone when the raid broke out.
The Tulip owner has since been arrested on suspicion of running a hotel without a license and for hosting obscene parties.
Naris Niwapantawong, District Sheriff of the area where the raid happened, said the men from many different countries 'exchanged partners with each other'.
He added: "We received a complaint about the Tulip Hotel. We were told they organised sex parties at the weekends.

"My staff coordinated with police, immigration and the military to strike quickly and accurately. We carried out the operation while they were having sex and we shut them down.
"The site was hosting parties for those who prefer sex that involve exchanging partners. To attend the event, participants had to register through a website. There was a rule that party members must be male and female couples. The cost per night was 1,500 baht per person.
"Police investigated the claims first and gathered evidence and a warrant before striking the premises. The men were found to be from many countries including the United Kingdom, America, Australia, Germany, and Malaysia. Many guests had visited previously. A prosecutor is now developing the case against the hotel owner."
No news yet on what's happened to the participants and whether they'll face charges too. Either way, the party's definitely over - play zone is closed.
