Foreign couple condemned for sex antics on Phuket beach (video)
An allegedly outraged Thai voyeur shared a video capturing a foreign couple having sex on Patong Beach in Phuket on social media platforms. Locals condemned their act and demanded authorities to take action on the matter.
The video of the foreign couple was shared on social media by a Thai motorist-cum-voyeur who rode a motorcycle past the scene. The incident reportedly occurred on Patong Beach at midnight on February 24. The nationalities of the foreign couple were not revealed.
The 1.30-minute video shows the couple indulging in some steamy sex on the beach, positioning themselves with their backs to the beach road and using stacks of white beach chairs to conceal their front. The foreign man was wearing black shorts while the woman was naked. They appeared unaware of being recorded by the outraged voyeur.
The Thai witness was allegedly disgusted by their behaviour but he still managed to watch and record the couple having sex for a full minute and a half. He said the couple did not care about motorists and other beachgoers in the area. The voyeur added that the couple’s amorous actions destroyed the good image of Phuket tourism. Many netizens suggested that the couple could have waited to return to their hotel for such activities.
Amarin TV reporters visited the scene on February 26 and found it to be a popular spot among foreign tourists due to its wide beach and numerous trees, providing a false sense of privacy.
Locals in Phuket shared with the media that this was not the first time, adding they want the police to patrol each beach in the province to prevent similar occurrences.
A Patong beach business operator told Amarin TV that the explicit behaviour of another foreign couple was reported on February 25. Many beachgoers witnessed the foreigners having sex on a sofa inside their room on the second floor of a hotel road along Patong Beach.
According to the business operator, the room had a clear window, making their activities visible to passersby but the couple continued their activities and did not close the curtains. He saw the act as unacceptable and reported it to the Patong Police Station.
As of now, the police have not provided any updates on whether charges have been filed against either of the foreign couples involved.
