watcharacters Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I stopped in front of a Seven a day or so ago and while my friend went inside to get some water I noticed this in the street. I appears to be a heavy duty tool for shutting a water valve. I was there for a good 5 minutes and no one showed up to work with it. I think it could cause a hell of a lot of damage to a car that runs into it. Good thing it's grey so it pretty much blends in with the pavement. The photo enlarges on my lap and maybe on your's as well. So to see it better it's just behind the rear wheel of the motorbike and leaning towards the power pole. Forgive them Lord as they often haven't even a tiny clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well I don't have a pic but here is another bonehead. Last week we were parked at a 7/11 in there small parking lot in Minburi. This Thai girl about 20 pulls up and parks here Civic and blocks the exit so we or anyone else could not get out. We were getting ready to leave so my wife walked over and asked her why she parked there, blocking the driveway. Her reply was"their was no where else to park"!. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do me a favor, NoMeAmes. Please address how you conclude there was surprise in either of the two above posts. I can't speak in regards to the first reply but as far as my post goes, it serves as a warning to drivers that there are endless possibilities to get tripped up by the stupidity of others in the Kingdom.

Decent answer and I did post that it serves as a warning to the driving members of this forum. Attention to the road cannot be overemphasized.

fakename Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The pic of the tree in the road, shows just how dangerous the roads are here. That yellow line stopped too early, and a driver wouldnt know how to continue. A few more meters would have been correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malt25 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Not meant to be a flame, but... if you were so concerned why didn't you remove said tool & place it against the power pole or lay it on the road beside the valve access ? just wondering.

Taken in for working without a work permit. Or being beaten to death by an enraged Thai for going out his way to touch and move his property.
