No indication of this couples nationality is given beyond them being "western". Its stunning how many people on thaivisa cant read a basic news article correctly. So what part of: Police later arrested American couple at a Bangkok hotel, who identified as Bruce Baizer, 29, and Ristin, Joness 22, (names transliterated). did you not understand?? Most of us read the article, not just the Title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelman6 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think a 5000 baht fine is NOT enough, it should be at least a 10,000 baht or MORE. Then hire some locals to clean it up and pay them WELL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You actually find that graffiti enhancing? Well we know where your taste is located, where the sun don't shine. It seems that you are pretty much alone in not condemning these idiots for their act of vandalism, which says a lot about you. Where does it end, who decides what is an "ugly old wall", you? Would the authorities have the same relaxed attitude to graffiti in Beijing I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 7 hours ago, webfact said: The pair apologised and they were fined 5,000 baht. A fine of 5,000 baht isn't going to make any difference to this pair. They should be made to clean off the graffiti and filmed doing it and then post it for all to see. It may be art to some but to others it is criminal damage to property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on TVforum feel that attitude adjustment might be appropriate. I think giving art lessons at a military base would be a good thing. Don't Thais want to learn anything?

Look at the top of the wall, look at that block work that's been added to the top without using a level, a wall could not be less attractive. The graffiti is just a line drawing, a sketch if you like, it will be looking it's best once coloured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
