And did you happen to catch the genius who wrote  "their American" rather than "they're American"?

I think you just like to argue, particular as the senseless diatribe you spout is totally irrelevant.

 

The wall is private property and how the owner wishes to present it is their business, perhaps they like the weathered look! What I'm certain of is that if they wanted some childish scrawl all over it they would have done it themselves.

 

How anyone with half a brain cell can advocate this type of vandalism is beyond me. 

 

What makes you think the owner doesn't like it?

I dare to guess he won't like it if he's a old and bitter guy

I am an American. The culprits were American. So I will try to help them out. Volunteer to get on the sewer cleaning gang from prison. These guys get to go home early...

 

 

Agreed.....100%.

It's rare that I agree with any kind of moderator censorship but this thread surely justifies it . Good heavens , its graffiti not murder.

Maybe he won't like it because he objects to people who assume they can scrawl all over his property without his permission. That thought crossed your mind?

Did the offenders ask for his permission before defacing his wall? You seem to think that it's quite all right to slap paint over someone else's property whenever and wherever you like.

There's a dye that security firms use when transporting money, the canister bursts open if the container is forced open, this dye colours the money, why not spray these two vandels with it, in fact use blue dye so they resemble Smurfs.

Apparently it's very difficult to remove.

But before let them clean walls and beaches all the time they planned for their vacation

Shd be a doddle for thai police to find these idiots. Hired bike, with passport details.. expect an airport arrest in a few days.
My hunch says they are scandinavian.

When the "property" is an extremely ugly wall and the "defacing" is actually less ugly than it was before, then no, I do not, and I can assure you there is nothing immature about that.  What was childlike was your attempt to change my mind with the old, what if it was yours, tired old lame comeback.  Well, if it were mine I would welcome someone who was willing to paint it for free.  Now, go and have a think about what you are getting your knickers all in a twist about, it is just a horrible concrete wall that now has a picture on it, big deal.

There are some factors that you seem to disregard.

1. The wall might be ugly, but does that give these people the right to treat it as their own property?
2. Many walls in these areas are fances to temples or other sacred areas. They might be messing with a wall like that.

3. Did these persons have permission to paint this wall?

4. It is an offense according to thai law to engage in such activities.

5. Your own assessment regarding if the wall is beautiful or not is totally irrelevant, due to that it´s not yours or theirs wall. Meaning there is no room in the law for a judgement call.

I guess we just had a thought about the "knickers" and the "twists". How horrible the wall seems be be in a single persons view, it´s still and unlawful behaviour. When you visit another country, it´s not right to break the law, right? Now it suddenly became that "Big Deal".

Plus a very hefty fine to boot!!!  I totally agree

Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

I think this is another American couple.  Grafitti is trending over there after Trump was elected president. 

 

 

[jacko45k]

It's not a big deal but I believe they should be caught and punished, they surely know this is no way to behave. Stop them leaving the country, take them back to the wall and have them clean it off paying for all materials themselves.

A dilapidated old wall it maybe, but these scribbles make it look worse, and I find them ugly.

Americans, just like the ones caught in BKK and the travelling butt buddies.

i think you will find the couple in koh lanta have not yet been caught or identified as yet.

[jerojero]

Retards. Nuff said.

[user4643453]

Can not understand how those idiots find joy in defacing other peoples property, somehow I think they must have a mental defect if they go out and find this sort of sick behaviour suitable, just arrest them and put on next flight out and ban for the next few years to come back to Thailand

If you read Lanta Info news you'll see that firstly he is a farang and secondy he's already painted over it.

[4MyEgo]

Its all about the money isn't it, personally I would have deported them as soon as they were arrested with a life ban added to that.

Granted she's not the best looking bird going around, and he's no oil painting, but ugly? You might hurt their feelings!

You have got to be frigging kidding me.  Thailand has had mildewed walls around for maybe 5,000 years.  If you are from California, USA, I can see you'd like a bit of modern bling.  If someone tagged my wall outside the house in Loei, I'd be looking for one of my sharp machetes in the garden shed.

Good paint won't get mildewed, also stone will not get it if made waterproof with some chemical.

Excellent copy and paste skills. At least you reread it. Others still seem to struggle.

[9KPhalak]

What was a couple doing with cans of spray paint anyway?   So this was premeditated.  Which makes it worse.  This couple deserves a good caning.  Ten lashes each.  Some people can be so stupid, you wonder how they have made it this far in life.   

[yogavnture]

dont u see the culprits got the attn. they were wanting? now 2 million views because they spray painted a wall??????  dont people have their own lives anymore?  a graffiti artist is like a dog that pisses on a tree to mark territory......now they have been arrested they have marked 2 million trees!.. i put a sticker on a lightpost once in Thailand ........should i turn myself in?
