Naked Norwegians stun Phuket

PATONG, PHUKET: Kathu Police arrested two young Norwegian men last Tuesday night for running naked up Soi Bangla, the center of Phuket’s adult nightlife entertainment scene.

The pair were identified in a local Thai-language news report as Kulien Petter and Frederil Rarlses, both 19 years of age.

The lads were apprehended by police officers at about 9:30pm as they were running down the street, both stark naked and holding their underwear in hand.

Their performance caused much kerfuffle among scores Soi Bangla’s ladyboys and bargirls, many of whom screeched with excitement as they passed by.

The teens’ fun run came to an abrupt halt when they were confronted by a team of law enforcement officials under the command of Deputy Inspector for Crime Suppression [yes] Seksan Kaowsawang.

Lt Col Seksan’s assistants, Sen Sgt Maj Aphirat Yanarat and Sen Sgt Maj Nikhom Saensuk, quickly caught the malefactors.

The pair, who were reportedly somewhat plastered, were brought back to Kathu Police Station for questioning.
