Backpacker faces 10 years in Thai jail for defacing Chiang Mai wall
Backpacker faces 10 years in Thai jail for defacing Chiang Mai wall
'I've been an idiot': Backpacker from Liverpool faces TEN YEARS in a Thai prison after spray-painting 'Scouse Lee' on an 800-year-old fortress (and even manages to spell it incorrectly)
Lee Furlong, 23, was caught on CCTV (left) using a can of black spray paint to tag the historic Tha Phae gate (centre) in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, on October 18 at 4am. The 23-year-old managed to spell 'Scouse' incorrectly, first writing 'Scousse Lee' before going back over the letters and changing it to 'Scouser Lee'. The graffiti sparked outrage among locals who accused the traveller of disrespecting the ancient 13th century monument and their country. Speaking from Thailand today, Furlong (bottom right in the white shirt) said he was now 'terrified' and had been 'blind drunk' when he picked up the can of black spray. He and Canadian Brittney Schneider (top right, with Furlong), who was with him at the time and sprayed 'B' on the wall, were arrested yesterday afternoon.

The bin dipper should get just punished for not being able to spell Scouser. Seriously, we all did stupid things when young, but in these of CCTV everywhere he should have just kept on drinking.

My guess he will get the full sentence, and serve the full term. Thais take their tradition very seriously.

He should get an extra couple of years in jail for giving Kate Moss' left tit a bad name.

Travel broadens the mind and after ten years in a Thai jail I dare say the rectum too.
