A wife battered a naked prostitute for about five minutes after she found out she had sex with her husband.

The wife is understood to have arrived at the massage parlour in Phuket, Thailand, after her husband had left, but discovered the sex worker sitting in a chair.

The wife is thought to have followed her husband when after she discovered images on his phone of him and the prostitute on Wednesday, Jan. 25.

When she met the prostitute, the wife ripped a towel off her, leaving her naked. She then proceeded to repeatedly slap the young woman.

The prostitute asked for forgiveness and said she was sorry.

Pleading for forgiveness, she said, "I didn't know he had a wife."

She added: "I will stop seeing him.
