It happened on July 13 under a railway bridge on Kanchanaphisek Road in Taling Chan district of Bangkok. The SRT said the man defaced the front of the train and several passenger cars of the Bangkok-Sungai Kolok train No. 171.

Station staff called local police, who arrived and arrested the man. Ten cans of spray paint were found in his possession.

The SRT said it would seek the maximum punishment against the man to deter future acts of vandalism.
