A 40-year-old virgin who put up a giant billboard looking for a husband for sex has been forced to take it down by police in Thailand.
TV actress Aranya ‘Pui’ Pathumthong had rented the huge display in the Thai capital Bangkok to advertise herself after failing to find a partner through dating agencies and apps.
On it, she put up a sexy, cleavage-revealing photograph of herself apparently in a state of ecstasy with a caption: “I Want You.”
The rest of the ad – which includes her phone number – reads: “40 and a virgin. Pui Aranya is looking for a husband!”
It goes on: “Let me get it once before I die.”
Aranya – the apparently B-list actress who is actually 45 – told local media she was serious about the appeal and had chosen to display her billboard in the Lat Phrao District of the Thai capital.
But police have fined the advertising agency responsible for the billboard £10 (500 Baht) for public obscenity and ordered them to take down the poster.
A police spokesman told local media: “We also want to question the woman on the poster about her motives.” (Daily Mirror, London)
