Back to business: Rihanna left her Thailand trouble behind her performing here on Sunday night in Singapore It seems Rihanna just couldn't stay out of trouble during her brief trip to Thailand.
First she posed with an illegal street vendor's endangered primate and now she's
raised eyebrows further after a night out at an eye-popping sex club in the party island of Phuket.
Worst still, she documented her X-rated evening with a series of vulgar tweets.
Vulgar: Rihanna visited a sex club in Thailand over the weekend and documented the experience in a series of tasteless Tweets
Shocking: Rihanna gave a detailed description of what she saw at the nightclub...and even she was shocked
The 25-year-old Umbrella singer visited the club in the town of Patong on Saturday night before she left for a concert in Singapore.
She left little to the imagination with her highly description tweets detailing a live sex show.
It seems even she was shocked by what she saw at one point posting: 'I'm traumatized!!!'
She was in Thailand enjoying a brief break from her Diamonds World Tour when she ran in to trouble two nights running.
On Friday, she posted a link on Twitter to an Instagram photo that showed her in sunglasses snuggling up to a furry primate called the slow loris, and wrote: 'Look who was talkin dirty to me!'
The slow loris, a squirrel-like animal with big eyes, is native to Southeast Asia and is listed as a protected species.

by night: Thai police arrested two men for selling photo ops with
protected-species the slow loris after Rihanna posted a picture of
herself with one on Instagram
Thai police must have been keeping tabs on Rihanna, because after she posted the picture with the slow loris Friday night, police in Phuket raided Bangla Road the following day to hunt out louts peddling the lorises for pictures with tourists.
'I had an order from the Phuket Governor to do a raid today after Rihanna posted a photo of her with the loris,' Awat Nithikil, leader of the patrol officers and senior forest academic at Khao Phra Taew Forest Preserve, told the Phuket News.
'It is very difficult to do the raids because the touts have spies. If someone hears that the police are coming their way, there will be a person who calls the touts and tells them to move,' he said.
But this time police were successful and apprehended two louts who were selling pictures with lorises.
One of the herd: The slow loris wasn't the only
wildlife Rihanna checked out in Thailand. She posted another picture of
her interacting with a herd of elephants
Police confiscated two lorises from the pair — a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy — who could face charges of possession of protected animals. The charge carries a penalty of up to four years in prison and a 40,000 baht ($1,300) fine.
Mr Nithikil said it was important to conduct the raid after Rihanna posted the picture because it could affect the country's reputation.
Phuket District Chief Weera Kerdsirimongkon said authorities have tried for years to crack down on the problem of vendors exploiting wildlife, particularly in popular tourist areas where people pay topose for pictures with elephants, orangutans and other animals.
'It's like a cat-and-mouse game. But this time it's bigger because a celebrity like Rihanna posted the picture, and there were more than 200,000 "likes" from around the world,' he said.
Rihanna also posted pictures of herself playing with a herd of elephants in the street Friday night, after which she tweeted: 'They all hail Empress when She walk by.'
The two lorises will be taken to a national park in Phang Nga.
