Two Indian men have been arrested on Koh Phangan, with one suspect confessing to the crime while the other denies the allegations.

A 24-year-old German tourist reported being sexually assaulted early Friday morning following a Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan, Thailand.
The victim identified two Indian men, aged 47 and 40, as the alleged perpetrators based on surveillance footage and her recollection.
One of the suspects has confessed to the assault, while the other denies the accusation, claiming only consensual physical contact occurred.
Authorities are awaiting DNA test results from a local hospital to support the ongoing investigation.
The German embassy in Bangkok is in contact with Thai authorities to assist in the case, which has drawn attention to the popular but controversial Full Moon Parties attended by thousands of tourists.
