Three holidaymakers from France have been deported and banned from Cambodia after they were caught taking naked pictures of each other at one of the largest religious sites in the world.
The Frenchmen posed in the buff at a Buddhist temple within the sprawling Angkor complex for a series of cheeky snaps that angered and offended authorities.
After they were arrested at Banteay Kdei temple last Thursday the tourists faced a swift trial, and were convicted of producing pornography and ‘exposure of sexual organs’, the Cambodia Daily reported. As punishment the cheeky travellers– identified by Cambodian media as Rodolphe Fourgeot, 21, Alexandre Vix, 21, and Vincent Bocquet, 20 – were given six-month suspended sentences and a fine of one million riels (approximately £160), and their camera equipment was confiscated.
They have been banned from returning to Cambodia for four years as the Siem Reap provincial court attempted to set a precedent to discourage similar acts at the Unesco World Heritage Site.
