Russian couple fined for sex in a Phuket tuk-tuk

PHUKET: Police have fined a Russian couple 500 baht each after a video clip of them appearing to have sex in the back of a tuk-tuk in Karon went viral.

The 28-second clip was posted on Friday and shows a man and a woman moving suggestively in the tuk-tuk with the woman’s shirt lifted to expose her torso.

Karon Police investigated and found the tuk-tuk driver who said he was hired to deliver the tourists to a hotel in Wichit.

The driver said the two tourists were not having sex, but simply “rocking their bodies to the music” he was playing.
