    The mother of a British tourist facing 10 years in a Thai jail after spray-painting an Ancient fortress has reportedly said she is 'embarrassed and ashamed'.
    Lee Furlong, from Liverpool, faces a decade-long prison sentence over the incident on October 18 at 4am if he is convicted.
    And his mum Michelle Furlong has reportedly said she feels a mixture of devastation and fear.
    But she said his actions may have been down to a rare brain condition - Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, according to the reports.
    Michelle told the Daily Mail : "We feel absolutely devastated, mortified and so scared - because my kid is in prison in Thailand, and all the horror stories that go along with that.
    "I am so embarrassed and ashamed. I cannot even begin to describe how our family has been affected by his actions.
    "He is prone to making ill judgements - he has a lot of tumours in the frontal and temporal lobes of his brain and suffers with epilepsy as a result of it."



    Lee Furlong, 23, used a can of black spray paint to tag the historic Tha Phae gate in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand (Image: Facebook)

    She said Lee has always found emotional situations difficult.
    Michelle also said the family received bad news earlier this week that Lee's grandmother is dying after she was rushed to hospital, reports said.
    The mother reportedly believed her mother-in-law's condition may have contributed to her son's actions.
    Earlier today, the 23-year-old revealed he was "blind drunk" when he picked up the can of black spray and wrote 'Scousse Lee' on the Tha Phae gate in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.
    He was arrested along with Canadian tourist Brittney Schneider, also 23.

    Locals have accused the travellers of disrespecting the ancient 13th century monument and their country.
    Speaking by phone from his hotel, Lee said: "I'd been drinking all day. I'd had some bad news from my family and I went out drinking. I mean, I was really, really drunk.
    "I saw the spray can and just picked it up. Honestly, I didn't know what I was doing. When I woke up the police were here.
    "They took me to the station and I was in shock. I'm terrified of what will happen now."
    Lee said that police had taken away his passport and a court hearing had been set for two weeks from now.
    He said: "I've spoken to my family and I'm trying to get some help. I really need it. I honestly don't know what to do. My visa runs out in two days, that's another problem.
    "I had been having such an amazing time here. The best time of my life.
    "I'm just devastated that I've done something so stupid. I'm sorry to all the Thai people that have been offended by it. I've been an idiot."
    Lee now faces prosecution under Thailand's Antiques, Objects of Art and National Museums act 1961, section 32, which carries a maximum punishment of ten years in prison and or a one million baht (£23,000) fine for ''anyone who invades an ancient site, or damages, destroys, degrades or renders it useless''.

    I do not understand why the poor mother should face 10 years in a Thai jail?

    Is it misunderstood because of my poor English or by a poor English expressing?

    Slap on the wrist if he defecated on the QVM.

    QED, if you're an idiot do your stuff in a 'civilised' place.

    That's OK then little boy. Going abroad on your own without mummy and gran means you'r responsible.

    Bad parenting has it's drawbacks. One can only hope sterilisation is also part of her sentence.

    Obviously the Daily Mail employs reporters with poor understanding of their native language.

    not return home and offer to ship more of the same to be used as flood defences if Thais have thick enough rice sacks.

    There's a reason why that very lengthy wall is absolutely spotless. Do you have the sense to work it out?

    It looks VERY UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL.

    Can anyone guess which Chiang Mai resident was instrumental in tracking down 'scouser lee', according to his claims on 'smegdoor'?

    He should have told them he was planning on writing "Scouse Lee supports the wonderful General Prayuth as dear leader" or the likes.

    Shouldn't there be some resident foreigner in Chiang Mai patrolling the city walls like there used to be someone patrolling the temples for people not standing or something? Or was that just a one off fluke?

    So remind me and not that i'm condoning the scouse twats behavior. but

    The football team that got themselves trapped in that cave. They were a) going to pick up rubbish other tourists had carelessly left behind. b) going to enjoy the natural beauty of Thailands' underground wonders OR c) to spray their team names etc on the wall of the cave they got stuck in. mmmm let see.

    That's 7am, Harry. At 4am he's either wandering the streets with a can of beer in his hand or sitting outside somewhere waiting for a random bint with child in hand to walk past and join him for a beer and a chat and a proposition concerning sex, fatherhood or "replacement". Allegedly.
