Just inside the Namtok Chet Sao Noi National Park entrance to the 'Seven Sisters Water Falls' is a market area, and off to one side is this picnic table you can sit at, to eat the 'takeaway food' you have just bought.
The wheels are in very good condition, and had been painted 'mission-brown' at some stage. With cross-bracing, the wheels are fixed to wooden base boards that then sit on concrete blocks. This can be easily removed in the monsoon/flood time, as I would believe that the water level would get up to here. [There is no axle.]

There is seven 'water falls', or more really 1 metre high cascades within this National Park. Swimming is allowed, with 'life guards' on duty during holiday times. Inner tubes are for hire to allow drifting down the beautiful river.
The problem has been that in the monsoon period that the much larger flow of water has eroded out the lower side of each cascade, and it is far too deep for a non-swimmer to touch bottom, so that there has been a few drownings here.
