I must admit when I first seen this photo I thought it was actually real people having sex on the street as some sort of bizarre rain ritual but as it turns out, the story of the day or so I thought, is something much less sensational but strange none the less.

The photo was taken at a village in Phetchabun province in Thailand and shows clay models made by locals of two men and a woman having sex on the street and this they hope is going to bring them much needed rain. The thinking is the rain Gods will be disgusted by it, open up the skies and wash the filth away.

More likely it is going to bring a half dozen cops wanting to book whoever had a part in building the explicit statue.

Shocked passersby who spotted the clay models making out at the entrance to the village described it as a “disgraceful spectacle”.
