(Photos from a Facebook page of the Public Relations Department)The Fine Arts Department has its sculptor remove Apple, Facebook and Google logos from its clay model of a standing Garuda statue for the royal cremation of King Bhumibol. The move came after strong criticisms by social media users after the Public Relations Department showed the pictures of the two-metre-tall Garuda model with Apple, Facebook and Google logos on its wings and buckle. Critics said putting the logos on the sculpture were inappropriate and could be an insult to the late king. Its sculptor had added the social media logos to represent the period of Thai society.
