LeungKen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 For those who wish to know the meaning of Thai road signs, there is a good example of them if you care to search under Official Thai Road Signs on your favourite search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The officials should just call it "bullet art" and promote it to tourists. Print out maps for viewing purposes. Encourage the artists to sign their work of course so they can get credit for their artistic skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is West influencing East (but I think Thai red necks have probably been shooting road signs for decades). Vintage advertising signs for drinks, automotive products and services, chocolate bars, cigarettes etc are highly collectable and valuable in North America. But it's a rare find (and extra value) if one is found without the proverbial bullet hole(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycu Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Better the hill billies shoot the road signs rather than the road users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
