In the footage, the couple appear to lay naked in the sand as they get wildly intimate in broad daylight.<\/p>\n
Witnesses claim the pair were not afraid of getting caught and could be heard from a distance engaging in the erotic display.<\/p>\n
According to local media, the explicit scene caused a flurry of complaints from locals, who condemned police for not patrolling the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo many foreigners do this when they come here. They\u2019re like animals. I would rather be poor, without any tourists visiting, than live in this environment,\u201d one local said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat, go for it. Because in our country, there are no rules or regulations. It\u2019s shameful. You can do whatever you want because the laws aren\u2019t strict enough,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

Police responded to the outrage by launching an immediate search for the couple.<\/p>\n
They were later tracked down at a hotel in the Kathu district where they were arrested.<\/p>\n
Halan and Nadia were both fined 5000 baht (AUD $220) for \u201ccommitting an indecent act in public by being naked or exposing the body, or committing other obscene acts\u201d.<\/p>\n
Police Colonel Anurak Parinyasathirakul said the couple claimed were not aware they were committing a crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers explained to the two tourists why it was illegal to do what they did. They said they did not know it was an offence,\u201d Mr Parinyasathirakul said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said they were relaxed because they are on holiday and became carried away in the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under Thai law, sex in a public space is punishable by a fine of up to 5,000 baht (AUD $220).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A French couple who caused a stir among locals after they were spotted having sex on a secluded…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40,1720],"class_list":{"0":"post-606882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories","14":"tag-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
