Couple fined for having sex in public park
By Elena Chong
A THAI couple who had sex in a public park on Sunday evening were each fined $1,000 on Tuesday.
Ngernthaisong Phichet, 36, a construction worker, and his girlfriend, Phloetphrao Somphan, 35, pleaded guilty to committing an obscene act at Harmony Hub along Beach Road at about 11pm.
A magistrate's court heard that an auxiliary policeman was patrolling near Beach Road when he heard sounds coming from the nearby bushes inside Harmony Hub.
He shone the torchlight towards the bushes and found the naked couple having sex.
Somphan was here on a social visit pass.
They could have been jailed for up to three months and/or fined.
