observer90210 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The 2 fools are not reincarnations of Bansky and thus their damage of public space must not go unpunished. I wonder however do people act as such because they are stupid or because they are arrogant and feel superior in a foreign country and think that they can just get away with anything ?

It all depends on what and with what it is written. If it's "I love you" from another expat's wife, written with a lipstick, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Sir Swagman Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just a thought- if naming or showing pictures of an establishment or business (sometimes Thais) doing things that are wrong can lead to a defamation action, why cannot something like this? And before all go all 'Thai visa' on me, yes it is a stupid and ill thought out law utilized in the most inappropriate manner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most must have, and so have I......but I was smart enough not to get caught and avoid any of the very very rare CCTV cameras around, when I was a kid........and was also smart enough not to act like an stupid or arrogant jerk when abroad and behave....

No, i don't think that Punch etc is a masterpiece. Then as said before...to your thinking if they plastered your car and house with their "street art" you wouldn't mind?

As for caning, jailing and deporting, one can just hope it's not said in a serious way There’s a difference between street art (a mural on a wall of crumbled buildings- as in the graffiti park at castle hill in Austin TX that has become a museum essentially) and a tag (writing your graffiti ‘name’) all over other people’s property. I doubt this tag brought ‘happiness to people’s eyes’ judging by the complaints on the video. Main point though is it is not culturally accepted in Thailand as it is in a city like NYC. These two farang are the type of travelers that I always hated. No regard for local customs. I would have told them to clean the shit up.

Would you be happy if someone came to put graffity on your house or car? if not, how come you encourage such hooliganism on common property ?
