Water TankNote the rebar that surrounds the tank and extends out of the walls. This was a part of the rebar meshing used to re enforce the structure.

Air VentAir from the plumbing appliances, such as toilet, sink, floor drains, urinal are properly vented up through the wall and out of the ceiling. This is rather rare in Thai construction but is a standard in other countries. The symptom of improperly vented appliances is that they do not flow properly, the vents allow air into the system so no vacuum is formed, allowing a proper flow.dozerSep 27, 2011
