Bangkok locals have been left baffled after builders poured concrete over a recently-refurbished bus stop, ruining the seating area.

The incident took place outside a convenience store in the Samut Prakan region of the Thai capital, where confused commuters arrived to find the bottom of eight green plastic seats totally submerged under concrete.

The contractor was instructed to lay concrete on the ground below the seats, Nation Thailand reports, but instead completely covered them in concrete, forcing commuters to sit on the ground as they waited for their bus.

To make matters worse, further reports suggest the contractor was not told to remove the bus stop structure before pouring the concrete.

The contractor has since claimed full responsibility for the mistake and is reportedly working on resolving the issue.

But the post has since caused a stir on social media, with many poking fun at the scenario and speculating how to properly sit in the chairs.

On the r/Thailand subreddit, one user wrote: ‘Sometimes you’ll find it’s actually malicious compliance.

‘The guy pouring the cement knows the seats are there, but just knows it’s not his problem, he’s paid to pour cement, no one instructed him to deal with seats, and they’re certainly not paying him to deal with the seats.’

Meanwhile, a Facebook user wrote:  ‘As Thais, we prioritise proper manners and posture in public spaces. 

‘The creator clearly understood this and wanted to pass on these values directly to society through this work. A perfect demonstration of how to properly wait for public transport!’
