Thai immigration authorities have deported a Spanish man and a Peruvian woman after they were allegedly caught performing a sex act on a moving tuk-tuk in popular island Phuket earlier this week.
The 41-year-old man and 43-year-old woman were filmed engaging in oral sex aboard the tuk-tuk on Sunday, in an incident that sparked public criticism over damage to Thailand’s tourism image, Bangkok Post reported.
Police interrogated the couple on Monday night and both confessed to their act, Nation Thailand reported.
They were charged with public indecency and immigration police said that the couple have been blacklisted and deported.
Thailand, whose economy heavily relies on tourism, has vowed to tighten oversight of tourists’ behavior after a series of incidents involving foreigners caught having sex in public, warning they damaged the country’s image, AFP reported.
