If two girls had done the deed the posts here would be different. Sacred; a pile of stones! They were miles away from any wat.

 

You, and Thailand, need to take a chill pill and get a life on what really is important.

 

As for how long I've been here; long enough to see the best and worst of Thailand.

Oh great now Thailand has to change to suit YOU . Someone who obviously considers nothing sacred ! You are in the wrong place kid . So they are just stones ? And certain people are just people ? However long you have been here you understand sweet jack all of this country . Id like to know what you hold as sacred and important that we should all take 'a pill' for . ?

They were simply messing about,

There are an awful lot of people languishing in prisons around the world saying exactly that .

The "We're just here to get drunk" crowd. ?

Think about it rationally: Why should any speck of the earth be anymore sacred or holy than anywhere else?

They're idiots.  But so are the people who care about a couple of bottoms.

I think foreign thieves should be executed but these just deserve a slap on the wrist.

A limp wrist (Oh haha am I so phunny at my feeble attempt to spew hate).

 

Obviously there is something wrong with me not fitting in with the overall trend of Thai visa

homophobia and bigotry so I'm out.

No wonder the farang gets a bad rap after these pair of idiots, sending them home fine, give them a good kick in the ass first , and learn to show some respect.....

Dreadful, isn't it? Considering prison is supposedly a place to hold those who are a danger to the public, not a couple of dafties like these two.

To me life is sacred; free speech is sacred; freedom is sacred; babies are sacred; nature is sacred.

 

Half the topics on this platform are about Thai authorities and their rediculous statements and decisions. Thais themselves are constantly dictated to on what is important and what they should believe.

 

These two Americans were just having a bit of fun. A telling off would have been sufficient.

I agree but would not agree with disrespecting what other people hold sacred . And there is an awful lot more that we dont know than what we do know so it is prudent to keep an open mind .

Nobody should have the right not to be offended, but yes, in another story I see they have been fined 5000 Baht as they have done this at a temple too. I would say that the fine levied was a good call by the court.

Nonetheless the less, showing your behind is not an indication of sexual orientation. 

 

It is irrelevant to the story. 

I would have thought it's an indication of IQ.

Those two guys apparently posted similar things from other sites around the world, had a web page or facebook or whatever.  Probably sounded funny at the time and their friends got a kick out of it.  Pretty crude and I hope they pay a big fine in Thailand and then get banned for many many years. 

The two mooners meant no harm. But they did break Thai law.
And they are unbelievably stupid for doing what they did.
 
I think they should get a large fine and maybe 1 week or max 1 month in prison. 
Putting them for years in prison makes no sense imho. Prison is for people that are dangerous to society. These people pose no more danger.
The large fine will work as deterrent for future would be offenders.
 
On a side-note, the buddha preached non revenge, i think the buddha said about insults that if someone givea you something and you simply refuse to take it, then who does it belong to? 
He also said something like "what you resist persists". If thai society was buddhist they would simply ignore these insulting pics and they would not have spread far as they did and no damage done... The true buddhist way.

very fairly written.seriously difficult to implement this...Our internet has altered the meaning of truth and trust...going viral...only means stupidity and ignorance..and PR..and they work with conjunction with each other..I have learnt Buddhism and very few people can actually practice the "Sense door "practice"...should the pictures not be seen....the other eyes which saw..then translated into feelings and we see and read the reactive reactions.Good Morning...

Arresting these homosexuals is not ludicrous, they should be jailed and then deported. No one
should disrespect the country like that.

Let them repeat their stunt in a Thai jail.
I am sure that there will be plenty of "folllowers" appreciating their stunt.
