An investigation has been launched after an object, similar to an ancient cannon, was found near Koh Racha Noi off Phuket’s southern coast.

 

Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos says he was informed that the object looked similar to an old cannon and was found underwater off the island.

 

Mayor Aroon dived under water to check out the object for himself. He says it measures 1.3 metres in length and a ‘box’ was found on the sand nearby.

Looks liked a slab of concrete. Dumped building debris maybe?

And upon closer examination it turned out to be a drainage pipe attached to building waste that had been dumped into the sea !

If you check out the article, the last photograph shows the cannon more clearly.

 

Pointing underwater did not help at all!
