Two Italian men arrested for disrespecting the Thai flag.
The original video, that went viral after being posted on social media, shows two foreign men ripping down and trampling all over several Thai National flags at a shopping area in Krabi. The Thai online communities were outraged and police were quick to set up a man hunt in order the catch the culprits.
Well impressively, it took less than 2 days for police to track down the two guys and bring them in for sentencing. No names have been given yet, but we do know that they are Italian Nationals, one aged 20 years old, and the other, 18.
They have been slammed on social media, being called just about every name under the sun, and being warned by several people to be very careful when travelling anywhere within Thailand. Over 336,000 people viewed the original video and over 770 comments were made.
A new video has been released as well as pictures of the two culprits in police custody. They were filmed making an apology in the video it shows them wai before saying, “We are really sorry about that, we didn’t mean it at all. We are from another country. In our country, the flag isn’t so important. We were really, really drunk. We like the Thai people, we like the Thai country, we like everything but we didn’t know about that law. We just want to say that we’re really, really sorry. Khor thot krub.” ...

Fucking morons indeed. I mean, you are supposed to be stupid when young, but it was obvious this was going to piss off every Thai.
Jail sentence not exceeding two years which, incidentally, is the same punishment as in Italy...

Bullshit "In Italy, desecration of any Italian or foreign nation's national flag is also prohibited by law and punished with fines between €1,000 and €10,000 for verbal desecration and with reclusion up to two years for physical damage or destruction."CEOCambodiaNews wrote: We are from another country.

I wonder how other Italians will feel to hear their flag isn't important either. What a couple of muppets.

I don't think they are important at all. I spent my university years when Americans set fire to them, shit on them and omygod used them for intimate undies. Inspite of these travesties I had a full and meaningful life. Your righteous indignation over two immature drunken males is hilarious.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
