New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
I don't think this is out yet, but I mention it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, why would the authorities here use the soon to be demolished piers on the front cover? I was told this work was starting soon, by a Thai claiming to be in the know? We'll see.
Secondly, I own the painting this cover is taken from! Where's my bloody commission!

The commission should go to the artist. Maybe he gave or sold them permission to use it, or maybe it's a copyright infringement, or?
Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
Or maybe I was joking!
He told me about it and it's his photo of the pocket guide.
He too is nonplussed about it. Obviously he's pleased they used his artwork, but why use it if they are soon to be no more? Strange logic there.

Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
Actually, it's a painting of virtually the whole city, which seems to be a reasonably logical thing to put on a guide to Hua Hin.....but why use it if they are soon to be no more? Strange logic there.
Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
I guess it depends on how long the guide is meant to be out for? If it outlives the piers, then that's a lack of thinking as stated above.

Those piers have been going ever since I've lived here - do you really think they'll go?

Is the guide not produced also as a source of income then? I think we should be told.laphanphon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 1:28 pm "Section 36.

I agree it would have been a bit Orwellian to airbrush out the piers.

Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
Is a TAT guide, or is there direct profit for advertising profit to be made ? Or simply for the 'public charity' or 'educating' tourist, for the 'social welfare' of those catering to earn income.404cameljockey wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 3:12 pmIs the guide not produced also as a source of income then?

Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
Gawd knows. But I believe I'm getting one tomorrow, so I will let you know who issues it and ask if the artist got paid. It was him after all, that told me about this and that is his photo at the start of this thread.laphanphon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 6:03 pmIs a TAT guide, or is there direct profit for advertising profit to be made ?

Government entities in the UK can be allowed to make a profit, which they reinvest in the organisation (in fatter salaries for higher ups, of course....). Might be the same here, in which case the artist might be able to claim his rights infringement. I don't suppose it's going to be a million seller though.
Re: New Hua Hin pocket guide - piers on front cover.
It's a freebie produced by a company of the same name clearly paid by advertising. The artist and art work are credited inside. I forgot to ask him if he got paid but he knew and gave permission for it to be used. It has some interesting stuff inside. Maps and suggested drive's and cycle routes and the like, otherwise it's just adverts. Bluport features heavily at the start, so Mr vana nava might be involved somewhere.
