webfact Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Pattaya: Hanging cables ablaze outside 7-Eleven - fire crews save houses Fire broke out yesterday in Soi Nern Plap Wan, Nong Prue in front of a branch of 7-Eleven. A huge tangle of cables was ablaze. Firefighters managed to turn off the power and use foam to extinguish the fire before it spread to adjoining houses. A picture on the 77kaoded site showed officials from various cable companies trying to untangle the mess following the blaze.

Popular Post bluesofa Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 It's no doubt part of the city's CCTV fibre optic cable system that's at fault here. How very fortunate it will save the need for an in-depth investigation that was mooted last week regarding upgrading the CCTV network. Installing a new network will guarantee this will never happen again. <For the hard-of-learning: The text above may contain traces of sarcasm> 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My son-in-law/daughter visit me periodically. He is a Health & safety Officer at a UK Company. He takes hundreds of photos of the cable-tangles to illustrate his How-not-to-do it lectures given to 16 year old apprentices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poloshirt Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I don't see overhead cables or wires in Malaysia and Singapore. Is it too expensive for Thailand to have them wires lay underground? How deep do you have to dig for cable laying anyone in this business knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how much we love the 7 11 door noise till we had to leave the place forever. I'd even be happy living next to an all night karaoke if it meant I was there, instead of here.
