Two vacationers are clearly having fun in front of the famous Karon Beach on Phuket. The two of them are out at sea with a stand-up paddle board – or SUP for short.
The video is circulating on Facebook - the material is even spreading on social networks in Europe. The couple will be located according to the police chief at Karon Police Station. The holidaymakers are also threatened with a fine for “public obscenities” – of 500 baht, the equivalent of 13 euros, for public obscenity causing public nuisance. Violations of the smoking ban on some beaches could result in a prison sentence of up to one year and/or a fine of almost 2,560 euros.
