connda Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 OMG!!! I wonder how outraged the Thai community is when they see all the graffiti that is mostly written Thai or Thai gang tags??? BTW. I personally really like street art, but defacing wall with a can of paint is freaking stupid, especially when it looks like something a 5 year old drew. Let's see, that should be about a 500 THB fine for a Thai, so with the farang price structure - "5000 THB farangs! Each!" Of course, wais all around in front of the media will be expected too!

mauGR1 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 3 hours ago, impulse said: Yeah, because a little impromptu artwork is such a blight on a mildew stained wall that any self respecting owner would keep maintained and painted. They've actually done the neighbors a favor if someone now has to go out and paint the dilapidated wall. I'm not in favor of tagging, mind you. But neither am I in favor of letting the neighborhood look like a slum 6 months after the construction crew leaves. Especially when labor is 300 baht a day to keep it painted. (Edit: and a few extra baht gets you mildew resistant paint) Now, if they tag a nicely maintained or historic site, get out the cane. (or is that somewhere else?) I have the impression that the caning brigade is out in force again. Some people obviously cannot discern between vandalism and street art. Pity the guy was interrupted in his work, it could have looked nice with some white and yellow spot added to that filthy wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickmouse1 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Does the nationality matter to you guys? Of course had they been Thai there wouldn't be any fuss....?Brits are not as daring as the French in some instances. ..lol...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSF Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 3 hours ago, Damrongsak said: You have got to be frigging kidding me. Thailand has had mildewed walls around for maybe 5,000 years. If you are from California, USA, I can see you'd like a bit of modern bling. If someone tagged my wall outside the house in Loei, I'd be looking for one of my sharp machetes in the garden shed. So you'd hack someone to death with a sharp machete for writing on your wall. Jesus Christ, what would you do to someone who scrapped your car? Boil them alive in acid?

Just Weird Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 3 hours ago, impulse said: And you don't see any correlation between mildewed walls and the filth epitomized by the litter everywhere? How lack of pride in one leads to lack of effort on the other? They've been crapping in the river for 5,000 years, too. But that doesn't mean it's okay with 70 million people doing it. There is no correlation between the first two and 70 million Thais are not crapping in rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraynz Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 its absolutely amazing that tourists could have so little respect for other peoples property..makes no difference where they come from or that thailand is so dirty anyhow----sure, there are much worse crimes being commited by foreigners, but these people should be heavily fined and b-banned from re-entry into thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Always amazes me when you get a pair of idiots, not one alone. Do they have personal columns online etc where they advertise...

When the "property" is an extremely ugly wall and the "defacing" is actually less ugly than it was before, then no, I do not, and I can assure you there is nothing immature about that. What was childlike was your attempt to change my mind with the old, what if it was yours, tired old lame comeback. Well, if it were mine I would welcome someone who was willing to paint it for free. Now, go and have a think about what you are getting your knickers all in a twist about, it is just a horrible concrete wall that now has a picture on it, big deal.

gjoo888 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It seems that many posters have a bad case of poor reading comprehension.
