webfact Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Homeless Bangkok man's "Street Art" goes viral - but what exactly is it? Picture: Daily News A Facebook poster living in the Sukhumvit Soi 71 area of Bangkok went online with a post that was widely viewed. It featured the work of a homeless man who has been drawing something on the sidewalk for days. Poster "Ker Chayata Ratanapot" said they had noticed the man several days ago and so on a trip to a neighboring soi they had a look at his work and took pictures. "What the hell is this?" they asked. Daily News suggested in their caption that it was some kind of street art. In the body of their report they suggested a plan or diagram of some kind. Netizens commented in droves but were equally mystified. Most people praised the man's artistic merit though some felt it was messing up the cleanliness of the sidewalk and should be stopped. Daily News said that the same man did a similar thing that was widely reported in 2017. Here at Thaivisa we can make out a five baht coin; what do you think it all means?

Airalee Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Used to be a small (1sqm) drawing/diagram here and there. Now it has become over the top with one stretch of 71 covering the whole sidewalk (street to wall) for 100 meters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjeff Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 He's been doing those diagrams for years, all over Bangkok - I used to see them (albeit smaller versions) in the Chitlom/Phloenchit area five years ago, and they weren't a new phenomenon even then. They look more like the product of mental illness than artistic inspiration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrward42 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I used to see him a lot a few months ago in Prakanong. I think he's just working out mental issues given the fact that he tends to shout while drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
