A bikini model who falsely accused a tuktuk driver of raping her in Thailand has been hit with fresh charges.

Stevie Bamford, the daughter of former rugby league international Peter Tunks, has been charged 10 times in the past 10 years, with police now accusing her of stealing less than $2000 in personal property.

Court documents have revealed she is now facing three charges of larceny worth less than $2000.

Ms Bamford was granted bail and has been told she must report to Maroubra police station every Wednesday and Saturday between 6am and 6pm.

The former bikini model is also not to enter any international airport or other point of departure in NSW and must be of good behaviour.

The 31-year-old is due to face Waverley Local Court this week.

The fresh charges come nearly a decade after Ms Bamford made international headlines at only 21 years old for falsely claiming that she was raped by a tuktuk driver in Thailand.

She told Thai police that she was coming home from a night out with her boyfriend when the driver took her to a secluded area and raped her while she was held down.

The bikini model admitted to lying to police because she didn’t want her boyfriend to be angry with her about coming home late.

She was found guilty of making a false claim in Phuket Provincial Court and sentenced to 15 days in a Thai detention centre.

Court documents reveal Ms Bamford had been charged in NSW nine times since 2011, including for assaulting a police officer and driving with ice and cocaine in her system.
