Let's have the vandals come tag your property. Nothing says home sweet home like gang insignia scrawled on the wall, or  political"art". bet you would love it if someone painted a portrait of Trump on your wall and underneath it wrote Making The World Better. How about a giant sized penis?

Beat me to it.  Thanks.

    In order to perform graffiti in Thailand one needs to have a special graffiti sanctioned work permit.    I'm actually quite fond of graffiti, I think it's a rather amazing form of contempora

  • Where can you get a permit to spray graffiti in Phuket?

What I see is two foreign dickheads, tourists or residents to be confirmed, displaying complete contempt to the country they’re in by assuming that they can go spray paint a wall as if its there right to do so. Some call it art, it’s not. It’s malicious vandalism of somebody else’s property. These particular examples appear to be tags, the type of graffiti for the talentless who post there “work” on social media in there desperate desire for attention and fulfilment in trying to be a somebody and avoid accepting just how pathetic and boring their lives really are from others who are exactly the same. They’ll never be in the same league as Banksy or others who demonstrate an acute skill in being able to put social reality into their images and make you think. 
These two deserve to be found and punished preferably in the way Singapore deals with pricks like these.

Whoooossssshhhhhhh, over your head. Let me splain it to you. It’s not a matter of how the wall looks before or after. It’s the idea that foreigners think they can do anything they want and just get away with it. This is an act of disrespect to Thailand. They sprayed paint on property that doesn’t belong to them. That is vandalism, a crime in any country. It’s up to the owner to decide, which is his absolute right. This is not the first time for these two. How do you know that your house, or car, or whatever isn’t next? Do you get it? Capisce?

Yes Banksy should be arrested init ....:giggle:

All well in a designated area and if it's artistic but what kind of utter moron goes on holiday and thinks oh I know what I'm going to do today , I'm going to go buy a pile of spray paint and spray my name on a random wall somewhere that nobody will notice it or think that looks great .

Utterly brain dead 🫩

What makes you think that they were on holiday? Far more likely that they live/work/study in Thailand.

In the US we have rail cars painted that are a sight to be seen.

Any I have seen caught were on holiday 

Check Glasgow. Blank unattractive gables left over after extensive demolition have been covered with some very artistic graffiti. At first, the city authorities were annoyed until it was pointed out just how much it improved the look of the place.

Thailand the king of double standards..

I knew it was only a matter of time for this kind of nonsense.

 

Eastern Euro trash, those French Arabs that blast around on big bikes and get in fights...........terrible what has happened to the Phuket tourism industry due to horrible people arriving.

 

Maybe the strong baht will deter some of the scumbags.

 Government needs to crack down on anybody doing this--regardless of nationality.  

Government needs to crack down on abandoned buildings. Then no excuse for graffiti. 

"graffiti on abandoned properties is common and often deemed acceptable" - Then the consequence - graffiti by anyone - is deemed acceptable. It's not an issue of nationality but of government responsibility.

"needs to have" is doing a lot of work here. 

You might add "...among those who follow the law".

 

And maybe I missed it, but can you explain again how your personal feelings about graffiti are relevant when you admit that without the permit, it's illegal?

I know now to invest in a dope shop and get my Thai son to get the free training to become a THC specialist 

The Singaporeans would know what to do with this pair.
