Tourists warned to respect Thai culture - two who showed their butts at Wat Arun arrested

[pauleddy]

Hang em high and flog em, I always say! 24 hours on the rack and then waterboarding to recover! I know the Good Ole Boys on here agree 100%. Yipee!

Typical 'out gay western men" ,they think their special. They disgust me. I hope the Thai authorities come down very hard on them and ban them from returning to the kingdom.

“Come down very hard on them ...” 

 

oh the irony.

[johnhw]

While I agree totally with the disgust expressed here, the usual calibre/social attitudes/level of intolerance and xenophobia that seems to be the norm on these strings makes me suspicious that the expression of disgust here is more a reflection of their being Gay than their disrespect for Thai culture or law.

TV strings are usually NOT a testament to respect for local culture.

...and no, I am not Gay....

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me.

I personally have no probs with gay folk, they have a life the same as you and me, but if Mrs.Trans and I were to drop our pants at a religious site it would be exactly the same, offensive and being disrespectful..Soooo, those of us with half a brain would not do that stuff..

 

Perhaps these two want the pic for their gay chums for a laugh, sure l don't know, but l do know they made a big mistake, gay or otherwise they are retards that really should stick to fast food car parks where they come from..

[jenny2017]

 

   Again, a new hub. The hub of gayarses.

[dictater]

So they pay 5,000 baht and they are on their way. I have visited Wat Arun many times and know that it is an infamous place for scammers and touts, is that the tradition we are supposed to follow? These guys showed their ass in public hardly an act that hurt anyone, but all the TV angry old men will have them hung for it. How dare they do something other than sit around in hooker bars getting shit faced on crap beer - respect the culture you homos!

Very odd, the sudden avalanche here of respect for Thai culture and Buddhism...Now...what is different in THIS item compaired to those many others that usually get a thumbs up??

The parties in question are gay??  NNAAAAAAWWWW......

[pauleddy]

Bring back Mathausen and Sobibor and Zyklon B for this perversion, I say.

Most people would have the same reaction , if they were not gay .

Although as their bottoms are used for sex,that does exacerbate the situation somewhat

Two exposed GAY butts is what's fueling this response, NOT any respect for local culture (which would be a first for this site)

Heterosexuals don’t engage in anal sex? 

 

Your posts are disingenuous ... you’ve got nothing against gay people you are just outraged at the sleight to Thai culture and Buddhism? If you don’t like gay people at least have the courage to say so.

You don't think that showing your bare anus off in public and photographing it at an important religious center is disrespectful?

 

Each to their own.

 

Most countries have public decency laws.

If it was cheeks spread, "Are my teeth clean?" sort of photography then yes, I would be offended.

 

But offended at the foreground and not the backdrop.

Agreed, only argue that on these strings, the 'acerbation' 'is an avalanche

A week or so in jail before a court appearance seems needed here

...then straight to the immigration deportation centre.

[Netease]

I bet they wouldn't do it in front of a Mosque at prayer time you wouldn't have to call the police just an ambulance,

I dont believe it's got anything to do with being Gay straight people would have been arrested also.

But I do believe they will play the Gay card for sympathy 

[tominbkk]

Haha were they really trying to 'flee'?  Or were they going to make their flight?

Show them the door...

But not immediately. They will wear deportation as a badge. May I be so bold as to recommend a week in the "bangkok hilton".

[Fireyfish]

apart from anything else learn about what is offensive to the culture you are visiting .... american morons

Meanwhile, at Chiang Mai immigration office, the standard certificate of residence issued by all other immigration offices nationwide, is still an unknown document.

what's a Certificate of Residence ? Is the Non-Imm visa not enoough ?

[madusa]

As usual the 2 gay men with their tits bulging under their tight T-shirts, what can you expect from them? On the happy side the lady immigration officer in blue (2nd from right) looks pretty. Yes nice looking lady.

That still doesn't answer my question.

 

Why mention it, when it is irrelevant?

I suggest you attempt to obtain an answer straight from the horses mouth, as it seems to be bothering you so much

[smileydude]

No one likes being the butt-of-the-joke but in this case they apparently did and it had consequences.

Respect for local cultures and beliefs is common sense.  

Go straight to jail.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200.
