The arrest of Li Hai, 21, was announced by Pattaya deputy tourist police chief Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal on Friday.





Police traced Li and arrested him after a Chinese tour website posted a clip, which was stealthily shot by a tourist. The clip showed Li telling tourists aboard a bus that they must pay him extra money after he had led them to a souvenir shop.





Surachet said the group of 10 tourists from China visited Thailand on May 1 under a tour programme of travel company TYT and Li was reportedly assigned to be the tour guide of the group to Bangkok, Rayong and Pattaya.
