wpcoe Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Noticed this project in progress this afternoon on the short dog-leg of Thappraya Road from the "Hanuman" statue to the police box. Probably a decent second choice over burying the cables underground. They apparently are ripping all the "dead" wires and then securing the remaining ones into a tight bundle (first photo). There are piles of cables every 20m or so that they had removed (second photo.) Wonder if anybody lost their CATV or internet access in the process?

newnative Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Well, I guess it's better than nothing. I have yet to see a single wire buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadbury Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 They can bury all the wires they like but there will be many more overhead ones to go up to replace them. New contracts, new installations....does anyone think they are going to dig up the ground again to install the new ones? This is Thailand we are talking about.

beautifulthailand99 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It's part of Generalissimo Prayuth's public works no doubt. https://www.nationthailand.com/around_thailand/30327748 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly enough holes around Pattaya at the moment to bury the lot! And for many roads it is a repeat performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 They seem to be doing it all over town at the moment, last week, past Chicken Crossroads on the way to the golf course and top end of the lake they were at it all along SSCC.

Captain 776 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 1/2 of the mess of wires are long since abandoned but there is no money in removing them........so they leave them in place and run new ones as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had my internet/TV cable replaced by fibre, and they wouldn't take down the old cable. Keeps the birds happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
