Caption -- Two American men who were reportedly honeymooning in Thailand were detained after they shared photos of their exposed butts taken at two famous Bangkok temples.

The pair, Joseph and Travis DaSilva of San Diego, both 38, were arrested at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok on Tuesday, just days after they uploaded photos of their bared backsides to Instagram, the Bangkok Post reported; the photos were taken at Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn) and Wat Pho temples.

"They were detained as they were about to leave Thailand," said Col. Cherngron Rimpadee, an immigration police spokesman. The colonel said the couple were on a "watch list" after their social media posts caught authorities' attention.

"Once they are through with the charges, the Thai immigration police will revoke their visas and push for deportation," he said, according to the BBC. "They will also be blacklisted from coming back to Thailand."

He added that the two men admitted to taking down their pants and posing for photos at the temples.

The DaSilvas were charged with getting naked in public and fined $150 apiece. However, some Thai officials have told the media that there could be more serious charges. Officials are now seeking court approval to prosecute them on the Computer Crime Act for uploading pornographic pictures, Col. Jarupat Thongkomol said from the police station near the temple, Agence France-Press reported. They could face jail time.

“They should give them 12 months in the joint for being disrespectful homos.”

With a bunch of moslem Thai kickboxers.

Didn’t a country cane a guy for breaking windows of cars once? Thailand teach them a lesson.

If it was a “mosque” I'd say "bravo"...but it's not,so I'd say “tough luck,folks...it's always wise to obey local laws”.

Disrespect seems inherent to the gay lifestyle. Both Wat Pho and Wat Arun are greatly respected and important to Thai Buddhists. Wat Pho has a Thai massage school and Arun is a classic spot on the River. What these jerks are really doing is disrespecting the Thai people.

Some people just need to taint anything they find that hasn't been degraded as much as they have been. It's a sickness, and it explains the behavior of so many.

They should face appropriate punishment.

A steady diet of Thai Bird's Eye Chilis would curtail their sex life a bit.
