My question is serious and is not hypothetical. I cannot ask a Thai about this issue, for obvious resaons.

If about to move into a semi-furnished home in Thailand, how would one deal with the highly delicate topic of portraits of a very important person in this country? You'd all know these can be very large and prominently displayed.

Is there any discreet and inoffensive way to indicate that one would prefer for these furnishings not to be kept in the home, before moving in?

If these had not been removed at the time of moving in to the rented property, what could one do if they did not wish to have these paintings remain on display (especially assuming the owners/their relatives might visit from time to time)?

Thanks for any suggestions.
