re: "Thanathorn's painting NFTs sell for 3.3 milion baht" (BP, January 18, 2022)
Dear editor,
What a creative, innovative way was the NFT sale of three paintings by Progressive Movement leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit to raise money for a most deserving cause. Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) group deserves all the money that can be donated or raised for it. Thanatorn again shows himself a modern person of exactly the type that Thailand desperately needs to drag it forward from the dark days of the bad old ways blessed by repressive tradition.
And whilst it's artistic merits might be open to healthy debate and dissent, who could not be inspired by its choice of subject, the truly patriotic student activist Benja Apan, as depicted in Thanatorn's first offering? The winner of that auction has earned much merit for their good deed in purchasing the painting for 3.12 million baht so as to benefit society.
All open, transparent, and accountable, for peacefully calling for which good public morals the brave Benja Apan and other Thais who value those antidote's to the traditional corruption too long enabled by bad social mores are unjustly arrested and imprisoned in violation of good morals.
Felix Qui
