What Is "bne"?

Literally hundreds of them on Sukhumvit 11 where i live.

I originally thought that it was a new club, given the stickers proximity to Bed and QBar, but then i googled it and see that similar stickers have appeared in San Francisco last year (the mayor there offered a $2500 reward to catch the culprit) and many others report seeing them in Tokyo, Dubai, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Chennai, and a variety of other large cities.

There's even a ABC news report about it stored on YouTube.com.

The consensus is that it's some kind of 'tagger' or graffiti artist - obviously with a few disciples.

In other words, kids larking around.

I asked a couple of the stall holders along Sukhumvit about them the other day. They all said they didn't know what the stickers meant but saw farangs placing the stickers.

My guess is a group of guys from Brisbane airport got hold of a few stickers and started tagging places around the globe.

If you put "BNE stickers" into google you can get thousands of hits relating to sightings of these stickers all over the world.
