A British traveller has been denied entry to Thailand by border security after ripping pages out of her passport to use as toilet paper.

Faye Wilson, 28, was turned away by immigration after admitting to officials that she had used two pages of her passport during a visit to the toilet on a drunken night out.

The hairdresser, from the Lakes District, was planning on spending a month in the Asian country before beginning a year of work in Australia – but she was quickly turned back around after her connecting flight from Dubai.

"We were walking from one bar to the next and we must have been desperate for a wee and obviously didn't have any toilet roll," she told UK wire service, SWNS .

"We decided it would be a good idea to use my passport, which is obviously really stupid… it was maybe two or three pages.”

Ms Wilson was forced to return home and apply for an emergency passport before she could fly again and meet her friends in Thailand.
