Dumb, drunk Yanks get caught spraypainting

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Dumb, drunk Yanks get caught spraypainting

Post by Anthony's Weiner »

Two Americans have been arrested for their alleged vandalism spree in Bangkok's Samphanthawong district on May 29. Shel Turnberg, 28, and Nicole Gollen, 24, were taken into custody by tourist police in Pattaya on Wednesday night. Complaints were filed by residents of Samphanthawong district, who accused the duo of vandalizing cars and walls in the neighbourhood. Mr Turnberg admitted he had defaced private properties while drunk. He said a third vandal, also a foreign national, had also joined them but the person had already left the country. The duo will be charged with causing damage to private assets. They are liable to face three years in jail and a maximum fine of 6,000 baht. Their visas will also be revoked and they will be blacklisted by immigration.

Absolutely nothing, Cooldude.

That's why it was posted in the 'Thailand News and Discussions' thread. :thumb:

They’ll get of lightly. Unlike Singapore where they would have gotten the cane. What possesses people to go on a holiday, buy spray paint and deface buildings and cars?

It's unfortunate for the young passionate creative souls, but in Thailand, modern forms of expressive art are highly misunderstood and not appreciated by the provincial masses. They should relocate immediately to a more culturally advanced society. Undoubtedly, there are numerous countries that will welcome them with open arms and support the artistic development of these future Keith Harings, Jackson Pollocks and Robert Rauschenbergs.

Fucking disrespectful idiots.

I imagine the parents will be in the news claiming their children have some sort of problems which makes them think it's ok to do this...

If it was my child I'd ask the Thai authorities to force them to clean the streets for a month.
Slow down little world, you're changing too fast.
