This set of murals - containing about a dozen of independent paints - seems to symbolize the friendship between Thailand and the USA. Apparently it's an official thing. It's located near the USA embassy in Bangkok and as far as I could understand, each paint was created by a student (or group of students) of a different school.
Probably it took the shape of a context between schools, with the artistic aspects varying accordingly to the different "teams". But all paints are about the old bonds between the two countries and are full of national symbols, both of USA and Thailand. One will see the colors (which happened to be the same - white, blue and red) - of both flags and imagery of Eagles, Elephants, the Statue of Liberty, etc.
