PHUKET — Police have fined two French tourists after they were caught engaging in an indecent act on a tuk-tuk in Phuket, following the circulation of a video clip on social media.
The clip, shared online on 30 January 2026, showed two foreign tourists allegedly having sex on a tuk-tuk while travelling over Patong Hill, drawing widespread criticism for damaging the image of the resort island.
Kathu police said they received photos and information from a concerned citizen showing the tourists undressing and committing an indecent act on a Phuket-registered tuk-tuk. Officers later questioned the driver, Kittisak Phonbamrung, who said he had taken the tourists to a hotel in Ratsada subdistrict, Mueang district.
On 31 January 2026, police tracked down the two suspects, identified as Valentine Celine Johanne and Crouzier Wesley Franck, both French nationals. They were brought in for questioning and charged with committing an indecent act in public by exposing their bodies or engaging in lewd behaviour.
Both admitted the offence and requested to pay a fine during the investigation to settle the case. Police fined each of them 5,000 baht, officials said.
