Thailand, Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan - Wall Mural
Nowadays, wall murals seem to be a popular way for cities and towns to get visitors to take photographs and post these photos on social media. A rather easy way to promote the destinations, without having to spend lots of efforts and resources on marketing.
A simple way to get visitors to "help" promote the destinations they visited, to other potential visitors!
Of course, I could be wrong on this and the murals were simply put up because they beautify the areas. And having these murals around simply have nothing to do with destination marketing or promotion.
Nonetheless, there are some murals that I encountered in my travels that simply stopped me in my tracks. Why? I do not know. Maybe because the mural do tell a story. A story of the place.
While traveling through Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan District of Thailand, I came across such a mural. Despite the fact that I was really tired from a full day of travels and simply cannot wait to reach the hotel to check-in for the night, I just stopped and looked at the mural. My eyes moving from left to right, top and down, of the mural, scanning to "read" the story that was embedded in this painting on the wall!
Now, that's a mural that get the thumbs up from me! 👍
