Two foreign men face up to 10 years in prison after engaging in oral sex in public during the Songkran festival in the Ratchada neighbourhood in Bangkok.

 

A video showing one man performing oral sex on another under a yellow tent circulated on Twitter and Facebook. The two men were reported to be South Korean participants at the Songkran event in Ratchada.

 

Channel 3 reported that the incident occurred on Ratchada Soi 4, where an entertainment venue was hosting a Songkran event. Although the yellow tent belonged to officers from Huay Kwang Police Station, none were present when the explicit act took place.

 

Kapook added that the tent was situated near the event’s entrance, well-lit, and noticeable, but the two men disregarded any potential audience.

 

Huay Kwang Police Station Superintendent Prasopchok Iampinit confirmed that the police were aware of the incident. Security camera footage showed a security guard intervening in the foreigners’ activities.

 

Prasopchok noted that the police had not launched a further investigation as the entertainment venue, which owned the space, had not complained. Additionally, the precise time and date of the incident remained unconfirmed.

 

As news of the incident spread across social media platforms, Prasopchok assured the public that the police would summon the two foreign men to face legal consequences. They could potentially be charged under Section 278 of the Criminal Law for engaging in public indecency, carrying penalties of imprisonment for up to 10 years and fines of up to 200,000 baht.

 

Public sexual activities are not isolated solely to the Songkran festival but have been previously reported at various tourist spots in Thailand. Most recently, a couple, believed to be foreigners, came under scrutiny for engaging in sexual activity in the sea at Patong Beach in Phuket.

 

Another couple indulged in a public sexual act on Patong Beach in March while another incident occurred outside a shopping mall in Pattaya. There are no reports on the legal consequences faced by these foreigners for their explicit behaviour.

Wow, they are not even allowed to kiss in public in Thailand.

I'd still be serving my life sentence if charged with all the times I've had sex in public, discreetly as possible.   Well, to the naked eye, usually.   Sure I've been captured on CCTV more than a few times

It's what happens when people from a cold climate & regimented culture come to a hot climate & shambolic society:  Off with their clothes and everything rushes to their head.

Probably rushed past the tonsils PDQ.

In public isn't the best location for the chance of young children seeing it, but a possible 10 year sentence for having sex in public and a man gets a 2 year sentence for setting up the murder of a policeman? More good news the world will now see.

Although I don't approve sex in public, i think that the punishments are too harsh....

Korean women said no more heterosexual sex, so Korean men switched to banana.

Gay's tend to be disgusting in their antics

The guy got bitten by a snake in an unfortunate bodily part. His mate saved his life by sucking out the venom.

 

He should be lauded as a hero. Not many of us have such steadfast friends.

NAH! In all the news reports of foreigners caught having sex and brought in for charges, the most they have done was pay a fine not more than 5000 baht if i recall. But your point is taken about the legal systems handle on what is serious and what is not. Everyone knows that life is cheap in Thailand. It is better to kill someone instead of leaving them alive to press charges and collet large sums of money. The laws reflect this also.

Well, in late 2011 I visited The Tropics and specifically Thailand for the first time in my life, places that before then I had flown over on the way to Europe. And I encountered a hansum young Thai Khmer man, many years younger than me. And here we are over 12 years later happily married and living in Surin.

 

Clearly the rush to the head was both overwhelming and enduring.

Do they give out awards for enjoying life ?

 

Stop thinking about what other people think, say, expect of others, and life is so much more enjoyable 

 

That reads better than ... "I simply don't give a F"

Naughty. Thankfully, no dirty farang this time around.

Not something I'd want to see anywhere.
