Thai authorities have fined 2 American tourists for public indecency for posing for a “butt selfie” in front of a famous Buddhist temple, police said on Wednesday.
Joseph Dasilva, 38, and Travis Dasilva, 36, were arrested late on Tuesday at an airport in the capital, Bangkok.
They were each fined 5,000 baht ($154) for baring their buttocks for a picture taken last week at Bangkok’s Wat Arun, or Temple of the Dawn. “The two American citizens have admitted taking the picture,” district police chief Jaruphat Thongkomol told Reuters.
While Thailand has a reputation for racy night life, the predominantly Buddhist country is deeply conservative and revealing clothing is frowned upon while public nudity is considered offensive.
