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.

I hope the local authorities turn a deaf ear to international pleas from liberals for clemency, and cane the shit out of these two. Would serve them right.

Mocking another countries religious spots can get you dead.

Americans should not have to pay politically for these idiots making fools of us. Most countries actually are disgusted with public perversion.

You are an IDIOT.
These 2 faggots went into a foreign country and virtually shit on that countries religion.
They should both be cut into EUNUCHS, after they receive 100 lashes with the cane.
If they survive that drop them off in a swamp somewhere, saltwater crocs need to eat to.

Probably a couple of democrat CA fruits.

No "probably" about it.
They are the same age and NOT described as twin brothers...

Choice California rotten fruit is the only alternate possible conclusion.

You do realize why men go to Thailand don’t you? It’s usually for the flesh market. These guys ain’t Christian and they were not trying to evangelize. They were just arrogant and thought their pampered status in the US extends all over the world.
