A model was arrested and fined after she reportedly flashed her knickers in McDonald's.

Ming Kongsawas, 23, was believed to have been photographed showing her underwear while sitting in the fast food restaurant as customers tucked into their burgers.

She then allegedly lay next to a figure of Ronald McDonald in a Bangkok branch while revealing her underwear, reports the Mirror.

The images sparked outrage and McDonald's publicly threatened to prosecute the model for ‘damaging the company's reputation’.

Cops caught Ming last Friday and she was arrested and fined 5,000 baht, around £116, for public indecency.

Ming, who took a job as a coffee waitress after the incident and is seen here posing with fans, said: ‘The underskirt pictures were shot like a year ago and someone just posted them recently for fun.

‘The police station that responsible for the case called me to hear of my punishment for being indecent in public.

‘I went to declare myself at the police station and paid 5,000THB fine for that on Friday.

‘After that I started working at Nina cafe as a waitress on the weekend. Its fun to meet and get to chat with people coming to the cafe.’

The model was slammed online by outraged locals who branded an ''attention seeker'' and said she should ‘show more respect in public’.

McDonald's said in a statement that she had ‘damaged the reputation’ of the store.

They added: ‘McDonald’s Thailand was not involved in making these pictures.’
