You must be bound to your bed if you haven’t met BNE yet in Bangkok. BNEwhat?! BNE is everywhere. Mostly sprayed in black neat big letters on houses and walls, BNE keeps you guessing what the vandalism could be all about. Graffiti’s an art though.
Whereas BNE is just another of those phenomena the world could do without. But hey, somebody with a mission must be very lonely out there. And clever enough to avoid CCTV.
Swiss Jufer who had drunkenly spray-painted posters of HM the King had been caught the very next day.
BNE remains on the loose. Decorating whatever with a three letter code nobody understands, sometimes even adding a crown or having the nerve to spray KING BNE WAS HERE, as CNN’s Dan Rivers reports in the vid below.
King BNE of what? The sprayer not only runs the risk of being accused of vandalism if you know what I mean. The authorities better be on high alert. BNE is by no means a local fad. Expect a plot with global implications.
