ggt Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 A place to tie up your horse ee kwai! Not horses, everyone knows the girls all have treasured pet water buffaloes, now that farang are getting so skeptical (thanks to TV) they need to have them close to hand as proof. Business opportunity here - sick buffalo rental agencies. . . Thanks to TV...we get to hear...the rest of the story...! Thanks to the honesty of some TV posters...the newbie...the naïve...have a more balanced view of paradise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Surely everyone is aware that they have been installing the new benches for the last week. They are pretty nice, and are made to prevent sleeping. However, you will find that vendors are already using them to display their wares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they are benches and not shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Hopefully the are the legs for the missing bench seats A very boring remark between all the good suggestions – but probably closer to the truth (Edit: My 25 satang suggestion shall be: Dancing poles for beachfront midgets...!)

bangon04 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It all seems to be a mistake by the constructors - they are in the wrong place. the original plans were to place them along the waterline and just under the surface of the water so that they are invisible to jetski renters.

wump Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 an update on this? From the picture it can't be benches or poles to prevent car entry. The most logical explanation was lighting. Near what soi can they be seen? Might go and have a look next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wump Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I checked them last night and they look exactly the same as the poles that block cars/motos from entering the beach walkway (from the main road onto the beach walk). So they are probably only there to mark the middle of the road (for markets?), but they come in clusters that are not aligned at all. Really stupid. They don't black any traffic on the walkway itself as there is still enough space for cars on both sides. So this must be their true purpose: Their true purpose is to turn "sex tourists" into "medical tourists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awohalitsiktoli Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Here is a photo...Not my pic, borrowed from another poster. Credit and thanks to him. Look like cluster bomb cannisters to me. Maybe it is a police riot control tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinediscoking Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I noticed them before too. I think they are used as anchor points as they are in areas where stages have been setup in the past for the music festival, firework competitions and other events. I initially thought they were there to stop cars or trucks but they would have no effect they are positioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermik Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just this morning beyond soi 4 Beach Rd I saw a jet-ski operator fasten a bungee type rope around 2 of the posts and his waist allowing his collegue to accelerate approx.50 metres in the sea to where he was flung back onto the beach-much laughter followed along with a newly painted sign advertising "Pattaya,s extreme thrill 500 baht" so there you have it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
