Stekmer Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've heard of square pegs in round holes .... but round covers for square holes. Does anyone have any idea why this happened to several square holes along Jomtien beach front? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoodMaiDai Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Anyone remember playing with the box as a kid where you put the circles in the circle holes, the squares with the squares, and so on? They clearly don't have that here. That is an essential skill set one must learn in life. But then again, they hammer screws, so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the round grates were stolen off a small unused Soi??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwan Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Common sense dictates that holes in the ground should be circular - and so should the covers. That way the lid cannot fall down the hole. Don't waste your time telling a Thai engineer this. Another secret that escapes them is that drain covers should be slightly lower than the surrounding road or footpath to facilitate drainage.
