Agreed!!  But for extra punishment they should have to read the ENTIRE POTY thread out loud starting with post #1. They will probably be dying to get to SWAMPY  and they WILL NOT tag anything there I guarantee it!

Probably not her first time and the police would known this, but most likely the first time she's been caught. In oz, she'd get community service or a fine, maybe both, so 5000 bht is cheap.

I may have found a new hobby, just follow some tourists around and wait for them to do something illegal, film it find out what hotel they are in and turn them in...............tourists smoking on the beach, rich kids writing on public places, Chinese taking a dump on the sidewalk..........the possibilities are endless.  We could turn this into a TVF  contest and keep score.

Forgot the 80 year olds playing cards 

 

[edwardflory]

Stuart21 mentioned what I was going to say, I think it is 5 strokes on a bare ar$e, and the welts last for a long time; from what I understand, you feel it for several weeks!  M/F both feel the cane in Sg.

 

As to the fine, it would be closer to 10,000THB EACH if caught in USA, also a introduction to a bucket and a scrub brush.

 

Stupid, ar$es, and child like people, welcome to Thailand!

 

Now a story to tell back home to the "guys".

again and again us americans traveling  = brainless on the move...

gringo = green go / go back to your uncle trumpy and try to make america grat again but my guess you dont have a chance .... usually these white trash goes oversee only to start a war or destroy public property...

[wvavin]

Should whip their asses!

[cardinalblue]

Doesn't the 5k goes towards cleaning it up? ?

 

seriously doubt there is a regulation that states 5k for minor graffiti...compared to say the 2k fine for burning 10 rai of stubble rice?

 

 what happens to the 5k is the real crime....

She must have gone out and bought that giant green marker with intent to deface Thai public property, how does that give you kicks? I dont get it..

 

I hope she is made to clean it all off as well

 

 

A kick is just what they need

[shackleton]

The Thai authorities seem to have a thing about the number 5

500 Babt 5000 Baht for a fine they need to be  more consistent

say 5000 baht ( each if more than one involved ) for minor crimes 

then more for more serious crimes 

send out a message

[malibukid]

such great examples of coddled millennial generation whom would not be here if where not for the internet, ATM's and EZ access to Mummy. 

LOS is now too EZ to visit for idiots like these

[dotpoom]

Is what they were caught doing any worse than the display by supposedly respectable, upright people after the "taxcuts" passing...prostrating themselves and doing their best to outdo each other in the "sucking uo" stakes.. of the supreme leader?

   It's confirmed at last....dignity and self respect are becoming a thing of the past.

5000bht fine for these plumbs is probably the fine for parking a car in a naughty place where they come from...2000bht fine for a farmer is a lot of dosh...,

[peperobi]

Only, 5,000????

[Emster23]

Such a fine selection of venom here to choose from. Jeez, you'd think they'd been caught picking mushrooms in a national forest here or something.  I wonder if this crowd would also condemn yank soldiers who scrawled "Kilroy was here" on walls whilst liberating Europe from Nazis. Well, maybe some of the Germans...

 I recall visit to valley of the kings in Egypt, heading down into one of those Ramses tombs, and seeing some original Greek graffiti from a couple of thou years ago.

 There is plenty of graffiti along beach and second road in Jomtien. Hmm no arrests that I know of. Perhaps it was some of those filthy farangs that did it, over here on learning language visa just doing their homework, as graffiti is usually in Thai

[TKDfella]

I would have thought these two could think for themselves and not give the authorities a chance to get extra cash from them. After all, tourist probably pay extra for this and that but as other posters have indicated, they didn't give it any forethought. Oh well, they paid for it so let's hope they have learned something.

[Mark mark]

Good.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

You mean these two just got fined and didn't get tossed into a Thai jail for a couple days, like the recent but cheeks photographers from San Diego?

 

Why the difference between the two cases?

 

BTW, in case anyone hasn't noticed, Bangkok is covered with graffiti all over the place. And I'd say it's safe to say, most of it hasn't been written by farangs.  How about the ohh so efficient Thai police start going after some of the local graffiti criminals?

what have their donkeys done?

[dunroaming]

The real punishment would be for the stupid couple of idiots to be made to clean their mess up while being filmed doing it and then post it on social media.  Shaming them has far more effect than a small fine.

[Mark mark]

Well, as with all arguments like this, we are ALL just visitors here, ... even if some of us might stay a Long Time.

 

Let the Thais sort their own problams out, like after this there might very well be some Movement on it, as there usualy is, after some Publicity about many things, ... and we Folangs just Look after our own possitions.

[mikecha]

Good they get 5000 should have been 10000 here is not America First  

 

i live here and every time silly farangs do this kind of thing  my  Thai neighbour asks do they do that at there home to  and i must just say realy i sorry   whai whai ummmmm

my neighbours a 78 and very thai traditenal   and always intrested in the foreign world  this annoys them to see disrepectfull people in thailand 

 

[CanuckThai]

...always interesting how quickly the BiB can catch the "bad guys" (when they don't have to filter out how their BiB buddies/bosses might be involved)

I wouldn't overdo the apologies to your Thai neighbour given the amount of mindless crime there is in Thailand.  Every country has it's share of idiots and Thailand has them by the bucketful.  The two Americans were arrogant and stupid for doing what they did but most of us have been there at some time or another.
