Two Americans who maintained a social media account “Traveling Butts” have been arrested in Thailand after posting a photo of themselves at a famous Buddhist temple with their rear ends exposed, the police said on Wednesday.
Deputy police spokesman Krisana Pattanacharoen said the men were arrested on Tuesday night at a Bangkok airport and face public indecency charges.
The men caused an uproar in Buddhist-majority Thailand last week after their photo taken at Bangkok’s Wat Arun was widely shared.
The men maintained an Instagram account where they posed for photos at tourist destinations around the world with their buttocks exposed. The deleted account had more than 14,000 followers.
