A French couple have been arrested after they sparked outrage when they were seen having s£x on a remote Thai beach.
The pair, named by officers as Halan, 24, and Nadia, 24, were reportedly seen romping on the sand at Rayee Beach on the holiday island of Phuket on April 10.
Footage appears to shows the n@ked woman on top of her partner as they moved vigorously in full view of several stunned passers-by.
Pictures taken at the station show Halan and Nadia covering their faces.
They both reportedly admitted it was them in the video, and they were fined 5,000 baht (£115) each for “committing an indecent act in public by being naked or exposing the body, or committing other obscene acts”.
Police Colonel Anurak Parinyasathirakul said: “Officers explained to the two tourists why it was illegal to do what they did. They said they did not know it was an offence. They said they were relaxed because they are on holiday and became carried away in the moment.
“Both of the tourists admitted what they did and accepted a fine. Their details were taken, and the immigration officers were notified of the case for consideration of their visas.”
Public s£x is punishable by a fine of up to 5,000 baht under Thai law. But the threat has seemingly done little to deter holidaymakers from engaging in outdoor nudity.
