They took a picture in front of a temple in Bangkok called Temple of Dawn. The thing is, they were both mooning the camera. They then posted the pictures on Instagram. They are looking at a maximum of 12 years and a $5,000 fine for it. Making/distributing pornography and making porn at a religious site. Wouldn't surprise me if they make an example out of these guys.

As a person who lives there, do you feel this might be more a case of revenge against ignorant white tourists than anything else?

I was in Bali once and used the resort wifi to look at some porn. When I realised what I was doing I fucking panicked. Nothing happened but it scared me for real.

They take their temples seriously here. If you do anything they disapprove at a religious site prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law.

Pretty sure no one has been executed here in over 8 years.

I watched the fappening leaks while on Changi Airport (Singapore) wifi. I was pretty nervous but it was Jennifer Lawrences pics being leaked so had to check it out.

$10 whores are extremely hard to come by unless you're Thai. Minimum you're paying for someone who won't rob you or give you an incurable disease is $35.

This is the same Thai government that just put a man in prison for 7 years for exposing that the Thai government contaminated a water source harming hundreds (maybe more) of people and the wildlife population in that area?


Probably. They have locked numerous people up for Lese Majeste over the pas 14 months though. Ranging from a few months to 15 years I believe.

I mean, there are tourists who go to North Korea who don't get harmed by them. It's like a 95% chance you'll get fucked but there's the 5% chance you'll survive. Meanwhile, these guys had to be INTENTIONALLY trying to fuck with the government. It's like pulling a gun on a police officer. There was no other result other than them getting fucked, it was an 100% chance.

Either way, it's a lot dumber than simply going to countries like North Korea or Syria. There, while you're taking a massive risk by going to war torn/dictator countries at least you're not actually intentionally trying to break a law while here, these idiots were intentionally violating a law in a strict country for literally no reason. How is that not like pulling a gun on an officer?

Stop touring placing outside of the civilized world thinking your freedom comes with you. :\
I mean, I absolutely feel for them because it's a dumb law but learn the laws of the places you visit and Prime Directive it.
What kills me is recognizing this disparity gets you called all kinds of "ist" names.

Once again. Just because you're an American and can act as stupid as you want without consequences at home doesn't mean you can do the same in a foreign country.

However crazy or stupid other country's laws may be to us. It's their law. And if you plan on visiting then know them and respect them. Our precious American rights that allow us to act like asses do not travel with us wherever we go.

So no. I don't feel sorry for these two idiots and they deserve whatever come to them.
