US Tourist Defaces Historic Chiang Mai Temple Wall, Flees Country

An American tourist has sparked outrage in Chiang Mai after defacing a historic wall at Wat Lam Chang temple with black spray paint. The 650-year-old temple, a landmark from the Lanna Kingdom, has faced repeated vandalism. CCTV footage shows the suspect arriving by motorbike and fleeing Thailand soon after the act. Police are now working with immigration to track him down. The temple’s abbot demands prosecution without compromise, as concerns grow over foreign tourists disrespecting Thailand’s cultural heritage. Authorities are calling for stricter protections amid a rising trend of similar incidents nationwide.
