Sometimes a garden full of dicks is just a garden full of dicks.

Chiang Mai police checked out the city’s newest tourist attraction “Erotic Garden & Tea House” yesterday after its shapely attractions were featured on the Huffington Post for its sexy sculptures.

From nipples, buttocks and lots of penises emerging from the grass are displayed on the garden for visitors to take in the sights and take selfies with. But what could be sexier than the suggestive vegetable and fruit sculptures that owner Katai Kamminga is convinced guests will find erotic?

“Everything is erotic!” Katai told Chiang Mai News during a walkthrough of the sculpture park. “[Even the] onion can be sexy — maybe for some people … Mmmm, sexy plums.”

Okay, don’t get too excited.

Police investigated the recently-opened tea house after some got the impression from the Huffington Post report that more services were available there. Then again, the Huffington Post’s story URL suggests they weren’t quite sure whether Chiang Mai was in Thailand or Taiwan.

After inspecting the phalluses, Mae Rim police decided the place was legal. However, they warned Katai to keep the place free of any naughty business, according to Khaosod.

Katai said the garden’s inspiration came from her love of arts. Her study of erotic arts has inspired her to design and decorate her garden with phalluses which she believes represent luck and success.

Katai claimed her erotic garden is the first one of its kind in Southeast Asia and has attracted many visitors since it opened last month. It also doubles as a coffee shop.
