webfact Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Pattaya: North Pattaya now "beautiful" after ugly wires buried and power poles demolished Picture: Sophon Cable TV Pattaya media Sophon Cable TV declared north Pattaya both beautiful and safe after work to bury unsightly cables and demolish power poles had been completed. The first stage of cable burying was done there after it was decided in 2017 by the interior ministry that work would take place in four major cities, including Pattaya. Work will continue in Central and south Pattaya, Sai 1,2 and 3, several areas of South Pattaya and Sukhumvit Road. Sophon said that 226 power poles had been removed in north Pattaya over a 2 kilometer stretch. Central Pattaya work is set to begin in mid-2021. Other areas have seen meetings between city officials and electrical authorities to discuss aspects of the project but these also expected to proceed early this year, they reported.

Anybody out there want to kill time doing a pictorial post? 1st they sealed off Tai at 3rd road so you couldn't get out going up. Then they moved up concreting bits of road to allow access to those businesses that paid the going rate. Now you've got Thai drivers chancing their arm (& the front of my car) by going the opposite way against those seeking access to the town. I'm guessing this has been going on 6 months and NOT ONCE have I seen a cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I would be more impressed if it looked like this with proper cycle lanes and footpaths! Any guesses as to where this is? Edited January 15, 2021 by LennyW 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
