PHUKET:-- The ongoing project to tidy up unsightly cables of tangles along the streets of Patong is inching ahead, with the chief of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) denying that the project is progressing at a snail’s pace.

 

Instead, PEA Patong Chief Watcharin Prapha says the project is taking great strides in making the streets of Phuket’s key tourism town look nicer.

 

The project began in March this year, when representatives from companies including AIS, DTAC, CAT, True and 3BB were told at a meeting in Patong that they were to observe an official order issued by the Ministry of Interior in Bangkok on March 9.

On our Nanai area properties half the phone and internet cable are not functional. We cancelled about 17 phones line when wifi and mobile phones became the normal. All these lines are still there 10+ years later. If we cancel an internet line for another package they lay in a new line. The way the installers throw up the over lines as fast as possible leads to low hanging loops that are easily brought down  by rain, wind, and growing trees. 

Great project, appreciated by all Phuket residents. Now clear out the tuk-tuks on Beach Road.
