The northern Thai village where the incident guide place , Sa - eab , apparently has a long history of protesting dam - building , so when the Google Street View car came intrude around , they became “ extremely worried ” that “ someone was trying to survey the area in camouflage , ” according to theAssociated Press . So what do you do when those dam - building son of a bitch come around ? Why , get a small syndicate together , detain the number one wood in a citizens arrest , and scuff the perpetrator to the nearest synagogue so he can depose on Buddha that he ’s not a spy , of track .
After questioning him and force him to swan on Buddha ’s likeness , the villagers released the driver and promptly apologized to both him and Google for their slightly overeager brand of vigilance . In a public statement , the villager wrote :
[ We ] apologize to the official , to Google , as well as to the Thai people throughout the nation and to the citizen of the world .
So children of the world , hopefully you could find it in your heart to forgive them . And for god ’s sake , never seek to work up a dam in Thailand . [ The Guardian ]
