It wasn't a competition but various schools from all over Chiang Mai were awarded a portion of the wall surrounding the United State Consulate to celebrate the "200 years of friendship!" It was actually 200 years of diplomatic relations and it is also unclear whether it was 180 or 200, i suppose it doesn't matter. Anyway, here are the goods!
I have no idea who these two are supposed to be, or what that land mass on the right is supposed to be... early colonial USA maybe?
Obama was President and if i am not mistaken Yingluck was PM of Thailand at the time
creative, probably my favorite of the bunch
I hope this one was made by children, because otherwise it looks like they didn't take the project seriously
I have very little in the way of artistic capabilities, but I'm thinking the face of the Statue of Liberty must be very difficult to do
Ok, I wouldn't exactly call any of these world-class artwork, but it was kind of nice to see. As I have mentioned before, Chiang Mai is a wonderland of street art and somehow they have managed to keep the garbage graffiti at bay for the most part too. It was just nice to see and thought it was a pleasant addition to what is normally (globally) a pretty stoic and boring building (any consulate building.)
Do you have a favorite?
