Ugandan woman, accused of overstaying her visa, suffers epilepsy attack

The tourist, identified as Rene (39), reportedly ran to the beach when the police tried to approach her. The police found that her visa had expired in 2023, so they tried to escort her to the Pattaya Immigration Office.

However, the woman developed epilepsy-like symptoms and rolled around on the beach in the presence of a large number of tourists.

The police contacted rescuers from Sawang Boriboon Foundation to relieve her symptoms with ammonia before taking her to the immigration office.
