'Ridiculously Drunk' Tourists Spray-Paint Ancient Wall In Thailand - face jail, big fines
A Canadian and a Brit were arrested and could face up to 10 years in jail, a fine of about $30,000 or both.Huffington Post
Two tourists face possible jail time after being caught on camera spray-painting an ancient wall in Thailand.
Lee Furlong of England and Brittney Schneider of Canada were arrested last Thursday after closed-circuit TV footage showed the pair spray-painting the Tha Phae Gate, a historic landmark in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Schneider explained to The Canadian Press that she’d been out with a few others and was “ridiculously drunk” when they defaced the brick wall.
Though the two admitted to the crime, Police Major Anon Cherdchutrakulthong told Reuters that “when people visit somewhere they should know not to [leave] graffiti.”
