The Americans who run a popular Instagram account called “Traveling Butts” have been arrested in Thailand after posting a photo of their exposed rear ends inside a famous Buddhist temple, local police said. The photo, taken at the Bangkok’s Wat Arun, caused outrage in the country after it spread on social media.
