Still, thanks for bringing up an educated opinion. You are right here Mau . That telephone box may one day be considered a master piece of Far Eastern modern day art The artist may one day become World Famous . You should go and wrench that telephone from its telephone box and stick that telephone in a big safety deposit box and you can sell it for millions in 20 years time , when the artist becomes world famous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farcanell Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Vandalism.... pure and simple... but the punishment should be in line with Thai norms... 500baht and a wai for those offended (and compelled to remove/ repair defacement) Unless they are trying to send a social or political message ? , in which case.... goose cooked.

Also, young people have a lot of energy, it seems to me a good way to let it out. That said, they should be able to cancel their paintings if requested by the authorities, as it seems that the majority of people don't like them. As for caning, jailing and deporting, one can just hope it's not said in a serious way I agree, street art is great if done properly but that not street art, its just rubbish and defacing someone else's property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well I thought they were acronyms for internet slang but the 'internet slang' page says 'WOAH' is a (deliberate?) misspelling of WHOA. Couldn't find XAWI though. Anyone here know? I thought 'street art' was simply someone 'painting' on a wall or some other large area to hide something less appealing. An unsanctioned decoration? To me the OP is a bit of an eyesore rather than art and defacing what appears to be an otherwise respectable kiosk. But I admit to knowing little about this subject.

Many of the more responsible neighbourhoods invite street artists to create frescoes and even property developers invite graffiti artists to decorate their hoardings. I agree that the picture you have posted doesn't enhance the boarded up frontage of the empty building but much of that is posters who have illegally attached their advertising. Maybe you are OK with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
