Getting back to a question once posted by admin on the main page (now in the archive):
What are these? - December 16, 2003
In the center of the extension of Ngam Wongwan Road east of Phahon Yothin Road are a series of numbered pillars. Anyone know what these are for?
Oran reports: About those pillars in the middle of the Ngamwongwan extension... according to ETA's website, they are the pillars which will be used for the 3rd Stage Expressway (38.8km) North Section (26.2km) which starts from Nonthaburi to New Bangkok-Chonburi Highway (at the point where it meets the 2nd Stage Expressway, Part D). Planned partial completion in 2009.

- Before Oran's answer, I also wondered about those pillars. But I have another remark about this road (Th. Kaset-Nawamin): In the area approximately between pillars number 96 and 106 of the expressway project, if you look to the south, there's an empty lot with grass and some shrubs and a couple of very strange objects on it. They seem to be concrete columns, maybe 60-100 cm in diameter, of varying heights, sticking out between 30 cm to 3 m from the ground. At least some of them seem to be hollow and capped with a metal lid. Altogether there might be 40 or 50 of them, maybe arranged in 2 or 3 groups, in which they stand fairly close together. (All this is just a vague description/estimate, as I never had an opportunity to stop there and have a closer look.)
Anyone has the slightest idea what this could be? What purpose could such objects probably serve?
