petecooper Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Has anyone noticed a proliferation of strange stickers all over Bangkok with the letters "BNE" on them? They're on everything - traffic lights, lamp posts, phone boxes. Everywhere. Now the only "BNE" I can think of is the airport code for Brisbane but I fail to see why anyone would be plastering this all over Bangkok - what on earth can these stickers mean? Who is putting them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aujuba Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I haven't seen any but I'll keep my eyes open for them. This sounds interesting. I mean why not BNA or BBE or ZNE. The possibilities are endless. Baan Nawk Esarn? Michael Jackson's song 'Ben' Michael is mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtam Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 yes, I noticed them on sign posts, telephone boxes at the Silom end of Saladaeng, and wondered too. Spookyl, in a Dame Edna sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk shadow Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hehe, nah it wasn't me. Although coming from Brisbane was what made me notice them in the first place, I haven't been back there for about 3 years, and have no desire to promote the place, via stickering Bangkok.
