Yes. It's huge. It's amazing And probably, one of the best quote of the whole year, category "official under heavy ya ba influence". As for the poor guy, he too must have been on a really strong psychedelic drug... However, this is Thailand. So a Swiss citizen member of "undercurrents" in favor of TRT and Thaksin, why not ? Ah ah ah ah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The stupidity of the act leaves me totally speachless. Maybe it was part of a dare or bet either way, as a farang, how the hel_l did he think he could get away with it. Or he may be mentally deranged.

Foggy Bottom Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Security cameras? In Chiangmai? Where? Unless they belong to a private building (e.g. a shopping mall) I can't remember ever spotting any - so they must be very secure ;-) Sounds like this muppet went onto private grounds to do this. ...... goes off to dig out x400-telephoto-secret-camouflaged-specs to go camera spotting.

aznyron Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 How about another possibility--a totally conscious man single-handedly fighting the absurd feudalism. As a American in my country we have idiots who spray paint every thing I don't think this idiot realized what he was doing I hope H.M the King forgives him and Thailand deports him and never let him back in Thailand we all know that was a very stupid thing to do but 15 years I think it a little to harsh but of course he should be forced to pay all damages done by his childish prank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutter007 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 What was a man doing at age 57 spray painting over anything??? you might see that out of a 15 year old, but 57.........tad bit immature for his age isn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pui Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Oh my god! That’s a really silly thing to do in Thailand. Of the all the Fun naughtiness one can get up to here. Painting over a picture of the king is a big “No, No" One asks: Has he not been in Thailand long? Did someone dare him while drunk? In England this might be taken as a silly prank. Something from a P.G. Wodehouse novel but in Thailand it’s absolutely the ultimate disgrace. There are a lot of - what would be considered serious crimes in the western world - that would be far less offensive to Thailand. They are a fairly tolerant, broadminded race of people. But don't go messing with the monarchy. Look how many people wear yellow t-shirts. Never seen such a selfless following anywhere. They really love the King. It’s not a bad thing. Don’t go painting over his pictures. Well this guys in trouble now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
