snoop1130 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Pattaya hanging wires: "Will it take a serious accident before someone does something?" Sophon Cable TV reported on Wednesday that a post on Facebook had highlighted the dangerous state of the wires hanging down at the end of a soi in Central Pattaya. The wires and cables were hanging precariously above and some were at street level ready to snare passing pedestrians or motorcyclists. The pictures had been shared to the popular fan page Mem Pho Dam along with the following tagline: "This place is so scary. Why don't the authorities come and sort this problem out? "It is the source of much trouble. Does there have to be a serious accident before they do something about it? "It is terrifying to ride past". Sophon said that the wires in the pictures were at the end of Soi Nern Plap Wan in Central Pattaya and they called on relevant agencies to come and sort out the problem.

joepattaya1961 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 At this particular point (beginning of Soi 53, Soi Muslim or Soi Neun Pleb Waan) there were several fires last year and the beginning of this year, causing a long down-time of the internet and damage to buildings. There are a lot of other locations where cables come out of the bundle dangling over the street damaging cars and causing bikers to crash. Instead of reporting this issue, Sophon could start to organise their part of the spaghetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thechook Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Serious accident? Nah I don't think that will have any effect. Now if someone for some reason loses money as a result, that's another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurien Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 we won't talk about this (and other, similarly delicate) issue(s) anymore in the year 2037: By then, Thailand will have reached all levels of Singapore (politics, education, environment, safety standards, crime rate, lowest corruption, tight society etc.) this was forecast by some TH government agency a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavemanwww Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Why don't the locals just bulldoze it over and blame it on Falang mafia. I'm sure all interested Thai companies will be there in a micro second and fix it up. Edited October 12, 2017 by wavemanwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
