Mr. and Mr. Joseph and Travis Dasilva thought it would be a good idea to drop their pants at a mountain temple in Thailand, then post the pictures online. Well they thought wrong......

The moral of the story is, respect other peoples culture and if you go out to offend them then don't be surprised if you have to face the consequences. I have no sympathy for these people whatsoever.

Yep. I was in Bangkok as a kid and we were told of Americans being arrested for draping themselves over a statue of Buddha for a photo. Travelers need to understand and respect the local culture and this act in the opening post was total disrespect.

No sympathy. They showed a lack of respect; why should they expect respect as Americans now?
