how241 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 There are groups of three shinny metal small posts about every 100-200 feet along the newly improved beach walkway. They are about 2 feet high and look like stainless steel. Anyone know why they are there ? They don't seem to have any lights. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post impulse Posted February 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2014 My guess is that the lamp pole vendor hasn't been paid for their previous projects so they're not delivering the actual lamp poles to go on the pedestals until they get paid. And, a few years after the poles are installed, the lamp vendor will get paid and they'll put lamps on top the poles. But that's just a guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickylies Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 probably they have NO purpose. they were put there by a contractor, someone "behind the curtain" made a quick buck and fled the scene ;-) and before u say this can only happen in thailand, there's plenty of ghost bridges in the rest of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesthebaker Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) there are also the same posts located at various points at the edge of the paved area to prevent cars from mounting the walkway. they are generally located where there are ramps which were put there so cars could enter the walkway. so first they built the ramps then they blocked them off - work that one out. the posts that run vertically along the walkway must also be some form of traffic calming. but in the real world they make no sense Edited February 9, 2014 by jonesthebaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
