The couple were attacked near a statue of a revered former ruler, King Rama V - also known as The Great of Siam 0 who lived from 1868 to 1910.
One local suggested that the couple, who were believed to have had sex on the beach after a late-night party, had been attacked because they had chosen their romantic moment just a few yards from the statue of the former king.
The expatriate businessman said: ‘Thai royals are held with great respect.
‘It is not beyond reason that some local people had been greatly offended by foreigners having sex so close to what is virtually sacred ground.’

The paradise island holidays that ended in tragedy
By Daily Mail Reporter
Hannah Witheridge and David Miller are not the first holiday Britons to suffer violent deaths in Thailand.
Welsh backpacker Kirsty Jones, 23, was raped and strangled at a guest house in the northern city of Chiang Mai in 2000, but her killer has never been traced.
A string of other suspects, including tourists and the guest house owner, were held but released without charge.
A Thai policeman later sparked anger after saying Miss Jones probably consented to sex with her attacker. In 2004, a young couple from Devon were murdered by Thai policeman Somchai Visetsingha near the famous bridge on the River Kwai.
He shot Adam Lloyd, 25, five times and then used his car to mow down 23-year-old Vanessa Arscott before turning the gun on her. Visetsingha was jailed for life but escaped the death penalty.
On New Year’s Day 2006, Katherine Horton, 21, from Cardiff, was beaten, raped and murdered while walking on a beach.
The Reading University student had been talking to her mother on her mobile phone when she was attacked and left to drown in the sea off the island of Koh Samui.
Two fishermen were found guilty of her murder and initially given the death penalty, but it was later commuted to life imprisonment on appeal. City trader Stephen Ashton, 22, was killed in the crossfire during a shootout between rival gangs on the island of Koh Phangan on New Year’s Eve in 2012.
The Londoner was killed by a stray bullet from a homemade gun as he danced with friends at a beach bar. A 26-year-old Thai man was jailed for 34 years in June.
A drug-addicted monk killed Cheshire solicitor Jo Masheder, 23, by pushing her into a ravine at a Buddhist temple after stealing just £12 and a camera from her. He was sentenced to death for the 1996 murder but spared execution.
