Thread: 'Russian' tourist paints graffiti on Ko Samui rock

SURAT THANI - A photo of a vandalised rock on Koh Samui, one of the most popular attractions of Thailand, has drawn attention from Thai social media users.

The photo, posted by Facebook user Tommy Samui on Saturday, shows the rock spray-painted in huge red letters in a foreign language.

"This is the work of a Russian tourist. He wants everyone in the world to see his work at Thong Takian beach, one of the most beautiful beaches Koh Samui. I have to share this photo so the people in Russia would know about some of their misbehaving tourists," Tommy Samui wrote.

The Facebook user added that this incident reminded him of some Thais who plucked cherry blossoms in Japan.

Self-entitled, low IQ peasant mentality.

What a tosser.
If it's a surname should be possible to trace the idiot from hotel records.

This wouldn't be news if the graffiti were in Thai script.

Thai people did that as well, I recall the one who carved (not painted) something in thai script on the Great Wall in China ...
