Why did the Ubon Army general order the student painting of the king painted over?

[Guitar God]

A few days ago the general of the Ubon Army base ordered his troops to buy white paint and paint over all the portraits of the king that students from the local schools paited on the west and south walls surrounding the airport around 5 years ago.

Has anyone heard why?

Personally I'd rather they used the money and manpower to fill some of the 25cm deep potholes on the roads. But they seemed to have different priorities.

You'll find some answers on the last page of the Ubon development thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/640358-ubon-ratchathani-news-development/page-9#entry8722959

Just some beautification apparently. It was air force troops that did it.

No need for further discussion in this topic.
