In an effort to patch things up with his girlfriend a Bangkok man has erected a massive billboad on Ladprao Road.
The billboard, which occupies an entire length of a 3-storey block of building on Soi Ladprao 101, bears a message from the man pleading his ex-girlfriend, identified by the sign as ′Tarn′, to come back to him.
According to the sign, a man who identified himself as ′Mr. A′ is very “sorry for having said that to you. I just said it to test if you still love me”.
“I am sorry. I still love you and still wait for you, Tarn,” the message continues, “Everybody at home is worrying about you. We are waiting for your return. I wish you could forgive me. I love you so much”
In the last two lines, the man gave the telephone numbers of him and – weirdly enough – Ms. Tarn. The full name of Ms. Tarn was also written on top of the billboard.
A Khaosod correspondent later contacted the woman, who admitted that she had indeed dated the guy, but has not seen the sign herself.
Ms. Tarn said she was aware of the billboard because she has been contacted a few times by people who saw her telephone number on it: once from a commuter who called her to say she wished Ms. Tarn could reconcile with Mr. A, and the other was a man who asked if he could buy the building where the billboard was posted.
As for Mr. A, Ms. Tarn said that they had separated several months ago. “Now that he is doing this, it got me wondering: why did he not do better while we were still together?” Ms. Tarn said.
She said she was the one who decided to end the relationship, and does not think that she had been letting everybody worried about her, contrary to what the billboard suggested.
“I work in Bangkok but I have been in contact with my family in Petchabun Province all the time. They have nothing to worry about,” Ms. Tarn said, adding that the billboard′s text is misleading because it gives perception that she has run away from him, Khaosod reported.
