CCTV footage has captured two foreign nationals spraying graffiti on a shop in Pattaya, causing damage to private property. The incident occurred at 02:23 on 12 April 2026 outside a pet food shop on Pattaya Third Road near Soi Chalermprakiat 21. The act left a large graffiti marking reading “LAUPS” on the shop’s metal roller door, with paint also seeping inside and damaging internal glass.

According to CCTV recordings, the two men approached the front of the shop together. One, wearing a white shirt and carrying a bag containing spray paint cans, carried out the vandalism while the other, dressed in black, acted as a lookout. The graffiti was completed in approximately six minutes before both individuals fled the scene.

At the site, the metal shutter was found defaced with a large graffiti design, while some paint had penetrated through gaps in the door, causing further damage. The shop owner, 41-year-old Methee Chawna, said the issue was discovered by staff in the morning, who alerted him to the damage. He acknowledged that while graffiti can be considered a form of art, such actions directly harm the property of others.
The owner has since filed a report with police as evidence and has requested that authorities track down those responsible for legal action. Local residents have expressed concern that incidents of this nature could affect public order and the image of the area, if not properly controlled or prevented.
Authorities are expected to review CCTV footage and continue efforts to identify and apprehend the suspects. Further updates will depend on the progress of the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings.
