[NSFW] Naked Europeans Deported From Cambodia for 'Violating Country's Beautiful Customs and Culture'

Earlier this month, local police arrested three European tourists for riding naked through the Cambodian countryside.

The group, who will reportedly be permanently banned from the country for violating penal codes related to indecent exposure, consisted of a 24-year-old British man, a 30-yea-old Italian and a 22-year-old Finish woman.

The trio was pulled over and detained in Leuk Daek District, 50 miles southeast of Phnom Penh.

Officer Chuon Chomkol told the Cambodia Daily: “We saw them drive in front of our commune police station and I then ordered my officials to follow them and stop them.”

“They drove when they had no clothes on. It looked so indecent in public and in our country, so we needed to arrest them.”

According to Chomkol, when initially flagged down, the backpackers didn’t pull over since they weren’t aware they had done anything wrong.

“Their actions have seriously violated Cambodia's integrity, the beautiful customs and culture of Cambodia, and Cambodian law. We cannot allow them to commit pornography like this in our country,” Kandal police chief Eav Chamroeun told the Phnom Penh Post.

I guess we’ll have to rethink our Tết plans…
