Not again! Jail threat to foreign graffiti artists at Chiang Mai cave

[berybert 5,756]

Someone has scratched their name on a rock, jail time for 20 years and banned from entering the country ever again.

Someone might go in that cave to have a look at the scratchings and become world famous if they get stuck. 

That would seriously bugger up the powers that be.

Nothing new under the sun...... This was done to a cave in Lascaux in France..... 20,000 years ago.

 

OP, you call them " graffiti artists" ? look here, grotte Chauvet, also in France, 36000 years ago

I see many comments saying that the government is singling out foreigners, but not prosecute their own people.

I said it before, though it is not right that Thais do it as well, it is in the end THEIR country. I would never punish my children as hard as other children if they did something to my house. These foreigners come to visit this country and think they can do whatever they like. I hope the authorities will get them and make an example for those imbeciles who think to get away with it.

Bad timing for scouser lee and the Canadian girl...

gives the judges a little more resolve to make a point.

thai authorities should lift dna off the cave but be careful what you wish for as they might find evidence they did not inhabit the country first and therefore are not real thai's

This isn't grafitti, it is vandalism no matter where from or how old! Don't cry when you are caught...

Really wish these idiots are to be caught under the Singapore law where they would be caned mercilessly in the prison for vandalism!

Dish out penalties such as apply in Singapore.

Use the RATTAN CANE on these Foreing Scum Bags and ensure it gets WORLD WIDE PUBLICITY to discourage similar activities by other “Morons.”

I like what you say yes. Then ban fir life

[Peasandmash 287]

There are some people who believe writing their name in a public place or nature site is the same as an ancient cave drawing. This speaks to the intellect of people who do these crimes. Give them a stiff sentence and a hefty fine. Then toss them over to their embassy for immediate expulsion.  If I were King I would have their parents publicly flogged for not doing a better job of raising their offspring prior to allowing them to be released from the comfort of Thai prison. Oh... if I were only King...

LOL...……..talk about click bait and fish biting.....it's a cave !!! LOL

hardly anything worth talking about or creating a fuss about

you should perhaps worry more about the mentality of someone who sees scrawling on a cave wall as a major crime.

Where's the evidence that foreigners did it?  Thais tag in English!
