The incident was said to have taken place at Sai Noi beach, south Hua Hin, with the unnamed foreigner being rushed to hospital for treatment. However, some people commenting online questioned the claims of the injuries being the result of a shark attack and said the injuries could have been caused by sharp rocks on the seabed. Others said the injuries were clearly bite marks, with speculation that they were caused by a black tip reef shark. Another Facebook user, Aaron Gimli Myers wrote: "Never seen or heard of such aggressive behaviour from a tipped reef shark before, pretty fast and shy animals. UPDATE: Thaivisa has been informed that medical staff who treated the foreign man said the injuries were not consistent with that of a shark bite and were likely to be caused by rocks.
