The same-sex Californian couple who flashed their bottoms at two temples and posted the photos online have been kicked out of Thailand.
Police made no comment, but their release after nearly two weeks locked up was reported by the San Diego Gay and Lesbian News (SDGLN).
Joseph Jay Dasilva, 38, and Travis Larry-Spackman Dasilva, 36, were arrested on Nov 28 after authorities found photos of their Bangkok adventure on their Instagram page.
But they appeared to show no remorse for their actions. Immediately after their release, the Dasilvas resurrected the Instagram "travelling_butts" account that led to their arrest and imprisonment.
They were fined 5,000 baht for public nudity after they posted a photo of themselves showing their naked bottoms at Wat Arun.
Authorities debated whether to charge them with posting pornography, a Computer Crime Act offence that could have resulted in a prison sentence of up to seven years.
According to SDGLN, the men appeared in court but the judge "threw out those charges and sent them back to immigration police to be processed for deportation."
There was no immediate confirmation from Thai police.
The Dasilvas received little love from the Thai or Californian public after their arrest for disrespecting the Buddhist temples and religion.
Social media in California supported their safe return but most commenters frowned on their actions.
Early on Monday, the top comment on the SDGLN website said:
This isn't a gay vs straight issue. This is, 'I'm an American being dumb and thinking I can get away with it.' While I don't think it is a stoning offence (or prison for that matter), I do think that that the level of arrogance shown is unreal.
