City's history being lost to fake facade of beautyThe new graffiti on the walls along the recently facelifted Klong Ong Ang became the talk of the town so I decided not to miss out on it. City Hall wrapped up the artwork just in time for the recent Loy Kratong festivities. But I'm not sure if City Hall has expended too much effort in on the wrong things. The models, to be made of concrete and to stand one or two-metres high, would be placed around the five-rai Mahakan Park plot. What was the point of erasing a centuries-old community -- to replace it with a living museum under the dictates of City Hall?
