November 30, 20178 yr The Thai people have been outraged over this. It’s been in all the papers and tv. Just waiting now to see punishment. Most think a fine.

Those guys deserve to be shot in the head, just to get the stupidity out of the gene pool. Doing business anywhere in East Asia (really anywhere, for that matter) requires some learning of local custom, and how to respect and follow it.
November 30, 20178 yr Not even just East Asia. If someone showed their ass at Napoleon's tomb they'd get busted.
November 30, 20178 yr Temples in Thailand are religious symbols and in many you must wear certain clothes to enter. To do what they did is shameful and disrespectful. There is even a sign leaving the airport that talks about how the Buddha is not a collectable but a symbol for the Thai people. When in Rome.....
