Residents of the Muang district of Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat held a protest jog on Saturday night against the alleged inaction by local authorities in fixing the malfunctioning decorative lamp posts installed along a road in front of the King Rama IX public park.

 

The protesters used the flash lights in their smart phones as they ran from the park along the otherwise unlit road connecting Mamuang Song Ton, Po Sadet and Nai Muang sub-districts.

 

The protesting joggers were accompanied by an illuminated truck relaying protest messages through its public address system.

We had Watergate 50 years ago, now it is the "Lamppostgate" - a favourite of mine explaining the petty corruption going on literally anywhere in Thailand on every level. Except the NST citizen though nobody else even queried the "need" for the good work by the state ............. it seems. 
In Pattaya the dolphins "beautified" North Pattaya road for years already and ultimately had to get turned 90 degrees as too many motorbike racers got killed by hitting their unhelmeted head on the lowest part of the lamp post. Another pristine example was Pattanakarn road on the dark side; all existing lamps mounted on power poles got "assisted" with hundreds of cheapest quality more "decorative" posts with typical Thai rice farmer hats made of iron cast ..... within the first month some 10% of the lamps went out of order and ..... are still out of order. 

This corruption scheme cost billions of Thai Baht but if the Thais do not have a problem with it, we can just stand by, watch and chuckle ........

excellent, i was aware of the ripping up and replacing perfectly good pavements money making scheme, seems this is another such obviously dodgy and often pointless activity. it's surprising more people haven't been complaining for years...
