These youngsters have grown up in societies that are so soft on crime that they believe they are untouchable. Let Thailand, like Singapore make an example out of them. How happy would you be to come home and find graffiti all over your fence and front of your house? Might not be quite so magnanimous then. They could paint all over the house, I would be pissed but as long as they were caught I would have them pay damages/fine and would have enjoyed watching them personally have to repaint my home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray painting a wall with graffiti OR starting a GoFundMe page and asking for a lot of money because you did something stupid. One crime after another.

Elreeco Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 They must learn what their parents have obviously failed to teach them - respect. Couple of weeks in the 'nick' and a heavy fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Vandalism, yes. An ancient wall, absolutely not. Totally fake. Nationalism, yes. Foolishness on her part, absolutely. A serious crime, definitely not. Alarmist on the part of the locals and the toy police, absolutely. There is an element within the so called "leadership" here, that is alarmist, brimming with false puritanism, overblown fake patriotism, and xenophobia, combined with a staggering degree of ignorance about most anything, who want to make something small, into something large, important and offensive. Those people need to exit stage left, as soon as possible, as they are making Thailand less great, by the day. We all know who they are. In other words, get out. Get out now. You are not wanted. You are not needed. You have grossly overstayed your welcome. The people do not like you. You need to leave now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just like to argue , as I said in my post " as long as they were caught" as these two were then that is what I would want happen to them. If no one was caught as you say then there is no argument on a sentence my homeowner's insurance would have to pay. And as far as being made to repaint my house I guess your not from USA or never heard of alternative sentencing. That's where a judge would say pay for damages,pay fine and repaint (in this scenario ) the home or spend 3 months in jail, your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be a bit more specific it was a Tom from the quasi Canadian province of Alberta. I'm thinking the airline she works for won't be keeping her around the ramp. Luckily his other job at the private liquor store should be safe. He may even draw in a few extra customers out of curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wall in question is of a different design than the original, using new materials and at a changed location. They are the same in name only so NOT rebuilt. As for the tom involved he has brought shame to my country and a month in a Thai Women's prison would be too good for him because he would love being locked up with all those hotties.

We all do stupid things in our life especially young and drunk. Pay the consequences yes but let the punishment be appropriate for the crime and circumstances. True, but I came first time to Thailand when I was 23 and didn't think of getting drunk or scribbling with paint on a wall here. Had too much respect. I think it is appropriate to ban them for life. If my daughter would do this in my house, she would have to clean it and promise to never do it again. If her friend would do that, she would never be allowed to come to my house anymore.
