Thais mock engineers after picture of buried hydrant goes viral

Picture: Facebook "lokwitsawakam"

A picture posted to an engineering site showed what appeared to be a new footpath and an example of construction standards in Thailand.

There was just one problem: a fire hydrant had been buried and was now unusable.

Channel 7 said that netizens were asking: What if there is a fire?!

The picture appeared on a Facebook site “lokwitsawakam” whose full name translates as “Open Your Mind to the World of Engineering”.

The facetious tagline began the mockery….it said: “We can bury the wires so why can’t we bury the fire hydrants?”

A post ridiculing the situation with a large number of likes just said: “Great! You’ve got the job!”.

Channel 7 did not say where the picture was taken.  – Channel 7
