PHUKET: Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong this morning ordered Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) officials to get moving on having power cables in Patong installed underground after the project silently stalled in May this year.

 

 

 

“The project to install the power cables underground in Patong has taken too long,” Governor Norraphat said at an early morning meeting, which got underway at the Governor’s House at 7:30am.

 

“I want progress on this project. You have the budget to build it… You know I have asked about this many times, and so have many others,” he added.

Bill Gates will be disappointed.

Good for the guv, now get the workers on the wires..

Unfortunately, reading the other article that should be up soon, he is rattling cages that could see him transferred within 3 months.

 

He is seeing things with  wide open eyes and saying a lot about how others feel about the endemic problems and embarrassments that are Phuket today. That's a definite 'transfer to Nakkon Nowhere ' stance to take, to the detriment of all that would like to see the status quo shattered..

In the photo...those are communication cables....not power lines....just saying

Take your time & do the planning well.

In Bangkok lost all our cable TV for 3 weeks, internet hardly works no work started yet on the main 

high voltage power cables (44,000 volts).

By the way,,,,, who got the retrieval contract for all the wire,,,,,,, millions & millions of Bht

Some close relative I bet
