As stupid as these queers are for doing this arresting them is ludicrous, it will be interesting to see the charge. This is more of a knee jerk reaction from the authorities. there is no place for such behavior, not anywhere. And, whereas some posters seem not to object to this at the Capitol what is incomprehensible to me, as it shows disrespect for the U.S. Government, a religious site is certainly not the place to show disrespect for other people's believe. Charges could be many, from exposing bottoms what is a sign of disrespect, to showing sexually aroused (subs. arousing) parts in public given their apparent tendency. Even if it is a fine of an amount that they may consider trivial, the inconvenience of being held in the lock-up until the Court has time, is an additional punishment. If someone has the desire to be an exhibitionist, let him/her/hir/hem/them (whatever is politically correct) go to a club where there are people that enjoy looking at others' private parts.

Jools Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yes, tourists need to show the same respect for Thai culture that the junta has done. Nothing shows allegiance like overthrowing an elected government. I could never support their brand of "free speech", but many crimes go unpunished in the Kingdom.

webfact Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 American Instagrammers face jail over offensive photo at temple By The Nation A gay American couple who author the Instagram page “Travelling Butts” have been arrested at Don Mueang International Airport for having taken photos showing their backsides with the respected Temple of the Dawn. Police have so far only identified the two as Joseph and Travis, as their identities have yet to be confirmed with the Bangkok Yai police station whose jurisdiction covers the temple. Immigration Police deputy spokesman Pol Colonel Choengron Rimphadee said the two were arrested at the outbound immigration counter at the airport. The spokesman said when the couple were checking out at the counter, the online database of the Immigration Bureau alerted police that they were on the arrest watchlist. On November 24, the Manager Online reported that the two had taken the so-called "buttfie" showing their bottoms with the Temple of the Dawn in the background. Police then began searching for them. The two were handed over to the Bangkok Yai police station for further action. The spokesman said the charge would not be a normal public indecency charge. Instead, they would be charged with committing indecency in a place of worship, which carries a long jail term. Following their arrest, the two have deleted all the photos taken in Thailand, leaving only their "buttfie" photos taken in other countries.

djayz Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Best news I've read in a long time. I know it's not the crime of the century, but it's downright stupid and ignorant what they did. A stern word with them might help to point out how and why (Thai) people are upset with their stunt. But(t), it's hardly worth locking them up. A big fine should do the trick. Now, if only the (Thai) authorities were as quick at capturing those young Thai students who vandalized ancient stones/architecture in Jordan recently, I'd be very happy...

Not that I expect Thais will have enough cerebral power to do that. That´s ok by me. I mean that there is already a lot of martyrs in all areas of life, and guy people want to fit in to society. Then they must learn to be represented in all areas and not only get all the rights they want. Pretty cool to have two gay martyrs in Thai jail then, don´t you think?

Bill Miller Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 As mentioned above the local variant of public indecency, "...getting naked in public", five thousand baht fine. A relatively modern outrage as within living memory, (granted kuhn pah at 91 is old), working class ladies often went topless. The whole traditional mode of dress was changed by government fiat in an effort to match the perceived economic advantages of Western attitudes and business culture.

Indecent exposure I would call it. 100,000 Baht fine each to a charity 1 week in a Thai prison 5 year ban from returning to Thailand Hand them over to the other countries for same same That sounds fair, nothing wrong with being gay, but respect of other countries cultures is utmost when travelling in their countries, I think they will learn very quickly that being a foreigner doesn't grant you immunity, and will send a clear message.
