They said that "video evidence" from the scene showed the pair fleeing alongside two German tourists before they were apprehended by security and taken to a local police station.

We have all done this kind of thing when drunk. 

That may be so but is’nt it amazing that it is only the Brits who get named!

according to the reports Germans were involved as well but only the Brit was named perhaps Adolf Hitler is too difficult to spell correctly ? ?

The news report indicated that is was only the Brits that climbed onto  statue on at least more than one occasion as on the 1st attempt the Brit fell off

The guy attempted to mount the buffalo, film it and post it while his friends watched?

Surely now the art piece Buffalo is more unique and has greater value. More paying visitors coming to witness the farang induced damage?

I don't plan to do anything, but I am sure the police might think of something?

"Both refused to pay any compensation claiming they had no money and that they had to rush to get to the airport.

"After an argument with the police on duty all four tourists left.

 

Great police work. 

[bluejets]

Fine them all....jail until they pay...then export them all for life.

Shouldn't be too hard to do.

No, we haven't. Even if we "all did this kind of thing", a spell in a jail might help break thru the alcohol haze

Maybe better to speak for yourself only. Not for me! These types deserve: pay for damage, fine for vandalism, deportation and place on the blacklist. We can miss them. And if you are of the same sort, then please get out together with your friends. Thank you.

Well perhaps I should have said, back in the day, when only the adventurous came to Thailand, this thing happened a lot. Remember it was the anti authority hippies that made here popular, and if not for them, the retired civil servants, dentists, and boring old farts wouldn't be here. 

Young people got drunk and rode a buffalo statue, big deal.

Not when you understand the deep rooted fear and xenophobia for Westerners that is taught in their education system.

I've never seen this, and worked in the system for 25 years.

Apparently ferang thai citizens are stumping up for the damages?

Seems this guy is a complete to$$er and a destructive disrespectful idiot.  Hope the BIB take on the case and find him, give him a nice bill to pay and banned for several years from coming back. 

<deleted>, he just jumped on a statue and never realised it was weak.

I'd rather kick out the tourist that goes to Pattaya for sex, they give us Westerners a worse name.

With whom do these tourists have this sex with please? And are Indians classed as Westerners?

Nasty people are known for drinking a lot of alcohol and being noisy; not just British.

I have not noticed any particular nationality having a monopoly on this type of behavior.

Maybe I am just not observant.

You surely must admit the British are overrepresented in the art of being nasty drunks, no? Maybe you're just not observant?

No, most countries are equally represented.

I doubt it was intentional vandalism, it sounds like it was just high spirits that went too far. In other words an unfortunate accident, but the offenders  should be made to pay for the damages. Thais are definately over re-acting as this statement shows

The buffalo is being kept in a crumpled heap for a few days so people can say goodbye. 

Surprised they haven't got monks there to do the funeral chanting.

If the " art show " was entitled " Chaos : Calm "  I would have thought the broken buffalo showed the Chaos and the Calm quite perfectly.

Yes, I agree most countries are equally represented. Brits are one of the outliers. If you don't agree, I assume you are British, no?

Ozzie, that's why I objected. We don't like to be upstaged by the poms when it comes to yobbos. ????

The news didn’t have to name a nationality, it’s a given where they were from!

sad really!
