BANGKOK A Briton and Canadian face up to 10 years in prison on charges of spraying paint on an ancient wall in northern Thailand, police said Friday.

Security camera footage purportedly showed Furlong Lee and Canadian Brittney Lorretta Katherine Schneider, both 23, spraying a message on the walls of the Tha Pae Gate in the northern province of Chiang Mai at around 4 a.m. Thursday.

Pol Col. Teerasak Sriprasert, chief of the Chiang Mai police, said that the tourists are in custody and have been charged with vandalizing registered ancient artifacts, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a million baht ($30,650) fine.

Teerasak said the pair admitted sprayed the message out of drunken revelry. He said that Lee, who is from Liverpool, admitted that he wrote "Scouser Lee" on the wall while Brittney told police that she wrote the letter "B'' underneath it.

The 13th century Tha Pae Gate is part of an ancient wall that forms a square around Chiang Mai's inner city.

Some of us will likely never get the chance to travel abroad, but these fuckwits decided to be vandals.

I'm in Bangkok right now (flight back to China in 6 hours). This has been all over the news and my Facebook groups.

Idiots deserve to spend some time at the Bangkok Hilton.

I spent 5 months in Chiang Mai and would visit the wall all the time.

Get caught fucking a 14 year old prostitute and we will see if you will be thinking it's "fine". It's Thailand, not Cambodia.

The 14 year old prostitute is absolutely not fine but they care more about crimes that people can easily see versus ones that are kept hidden away really well.

Then let them pay a fine imo.

This seems so stupid to take ten years off someones life for spray painting an inanimate object.

Too extreme. Yes, these people are stupid...but people do less time for murder

If this were Trump's wall you'd be calling for their heads skarmory


Id say they should pay for their damages and do community service if this was America

Then prison is overkill. Just fine them and be done with it.

Anything else is just excessively heavy handed. Just going to ruin two lives for something that did no lasting harm.

Spitting gum on the sidewalk is just a fine I believe.

We're not the ones spray-painting historical landmarks, I agree that 10 years is excessive but I think at minimum they should be required to spend 6 months

It was already washed off before anyone even knew apparently. Sure, they're dicks. But that's why you fine them.

It isn't just about making up for what they did; it's also about sending a message.

They give them a fine, the next tourist who can afford a fine with plenty to spare won't think twice. Lock them up for 10 years, it sends a very clear message - don't do that shit or you'll regret it. And if someone ignores the message and does it anyway, give the next one 20 years.

Idiots who will do this will almost certainly not know of past people or think past the immediate.

Such insane and heavy handed punishment doesn't do any good and in no way fits.

Fucking murders and rapists get less time and people are alright with some spray paint that was immediately removed getting a ten year punishment. It's insane.
