Joseph Dasilva, 38, and Travis Dasilva, 36, were arrested at Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport last month after images posted to their ‘Travelling Butts’ Instagram account showed them dropping their trousers at various religious sites around Thailand. It had been reported the couple faced up to seven years in jail for breaching Thailand’s strict Computer Crimes Act. “They wanted me to thank everyone for their thoughts prayers and concerns,” said Robert Rodriguez, a friend of the couple. Last week, it was reported that the men had paid a fine of Bt5,000 each following their arrest. Commenting at the time of their arrest, Thai government officials said: “This is a reminder that everyone should have respect for Thai religion and culture.”
