PHUKET — 9 June 2026, A foreign tourist couple has sparked widespread criticism online after posting provocative content filmed on a tuk-tuk travelling through Phuket, according to a video shared on a Facebook page on 9 June.
The video showed the couple displaying affection on the vehicle while a friend travelling with them took turns filming the footage.
After the post was published, the page shared additional images in the comments section. The photographs appeared to show the foreign tourists engaging in suggestive behaviour aboard a moving tuk-tuk on a public road in Phuket province.
In the images, the woman was seen sitting astride the man while the pair touched each other and made gestures that many observers considered inappropriate, despite being in full view of other road users.
The incident triggered a strong reaction on social media, with many users condemning the behaviour as unsuitable for a public setting. Some also expressed concern that such actions could damage Phuket’s image as a tourist destination.
