I disagree they should be arrested then given 5 days of travelling around the area removing graffiti. 

 

Then set home with a criminal charge tagged to their passport

I think they should be allowed to wipe the slate clean, then we can all move on to deciding what to have for tea

Agree, but before that, they should both have the pleasure of cleaning their own grafitti, and also some other cleaning jobs for a couple of weeks (that worked well in Singapore, many years ago)...

[Lacessit]

Idiots. Put them to work scrubbing double the area they defaced, on a diet of rice and water until finished.

This is turning out to be one of those backs to the wall situations

Withdrawn, there is still no evidence they are indeed American

The reference to Americans was from the last Incident in Bangkok, not this one on Ko Lanta:

• This  follows a similar incident that occurred in Bangkok in December when another foreign couple were filmed graffiting an advertising pole on Silom Road.
• Footage of the incident went viral was viewed a more than 2 million times.
• Police later arrested American couple at a Bangkok hotel, who identified as Bruce Baizer, 29, and Ristin, Joness 22, (names transliterated).

How far has the bidding got. Have we got hanging with 100 lashes yet?

But you knew that already, right?

• Bangkok Incident
• this follows a similar incident that occurred in Bangkok in December when another foreign couple were filmed graffiting an advertising pole on Silom Road.
• Footage of the incident went viral was viewed a more than 2 million times.
• Police later arrested American couple at a Bangkok hotel, who identified as Bruce Baizer, 29, and Ristin, Joness 22, (names transliterated).
• Ko Lanta Incident:
• Foreign Couple

It seems that many posters have a bad case of poor reading comprehension. The couple in the graffiti incident in Bangkok were Americans, there is no mention as to the nationality of the Koh Lanta schmucks. 

Yes but you are Pi@&ing up the wall to try and get that over on here

Why are these people like to vandalize public properties by drawing? Really unable to understand what type of upbringing they have.

Yup, they are just as bad as the Thais who do similar overseas.

When the "property" is an extremely ugly wall and the "defacing" is actually less ugly than it was before, then no, I do not, and I can assure you there is nothing immature about that.  What was childlike was your attempt to change my mind with the old, what if it was yours, tired old lame comeback.  Well, if it were mine I would welcome someone who was willing to paint it for free.  Now, go and have a think about what you are getting your knickers all in a twist about, it is just a horrible concrete wall that now has a picture on it, big deal.

I think you just like to argue, particular as the senseless diatribe you spout is totally irrelevant.

 

The wall is private property and how the owner wishes to present it is their business, perhaps they like the weathered look! What I'm certain of is that if they wanted some childish scrawl all over it they would have done it themselves.

 

How anyone with half a brain cell can advocate this type of vandalism is beyond me.

The December couple in Bangkok weren't British, but I can't see any nationality mentioned for these ?

(I'm British too !).

Thank you, but the Yank bashers come out in Droves, anytime American is mentioned, are people illiterate or just choose to discriminate, I’m thinking of boycotting this site , bcuz of it, tired of the constant bashing by Brit’s and the ignorance displayed by them, No mention of nationality of this couple!!!, Reading Comprehension is Vital to a Forum

Yes indeed, but preferably after they've cleaned up the mess they made.

American or not you seem to have reading comprehension issues. No indication of this couples nationality is given beyond them being "western".

 

Its stunning how many people on thaivisa cant read a basic news article correctly. 

And did you happen to catch the genius who wrote  "their American" rather than "they're American"?  

[cyberfarang]

I am starting to see graffiti appearing in Chiang Mai and it`s always in English or western lettering. Hope the police begin really clamping down hard on these morons, it`s not welcome or wanted here.
