Art or vandalism?
When it comes to graffiti, the answer has depended on
who you ask, ever since spray painters began tagging walls, train cars
and other flat surfaces back in the 1960s.
Today, graffiti is alive and well in Thailand, as
walls around Pattaya can attest. Most Thais have accepted the colorful
designs as art - as long as they aren’t painted on walls belonging to
them.
Public officials encourage youths or others with an
interest in graffiti to practice it through organized clubs and
activities, not randomly throughout the city.
