webfact Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Black panther not enough! Now Italian Thai in hot water after trees hacked down in Bangkok Picture: Manager Online The Chautjak local authority said they had filed a police report after more than a dozen trees were hacked to pieces by Italian Thai Development Co Ltd. The company - at the center of allegations of poaching by president Premchai Karnasuta - are building the Green Line train from Mor Chit to Khu Khot. Before and after pictures of the latest environmental damage appeared on the fan page of a Facebook group translated as "Hey! These are Thai footpaths". Manager said that nine trees outside Kaset University and a further five outside the Orsin Bank were damaged. The Chatujak authority have reported the matter to Bang Khen police and are surveying the extent of the damage before putting in a claim to Italian Thai.

Get Real Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Maybe they needed to do that for maintaining the supply of electricity, due to that the company they buy it from appearently didn´t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On the plus side, maybe they'll be shamed into finally doing something about the ugly wires... Oh, who am I kidding? Thai officials...shamed into action. Now that's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy50 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 It only takes a quick look around just about anywhere in Thailand to see that Thais care very little for the environment. Exploited countryside festooned with rubbish, filthy beaches, rivers clogged with detritus, and dirty and ugly towns. If you are looking for a pristine environment, there are fortunately many places where this still exists. My personal favourites are deepest rural France, some American states, parts of South Africa, the shires of England, and the Scottish highlands and Islands. Pristine air too.

Darcula Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Since trees are interefering with electric wires, it's time to put the trees underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Out here in rural Khampaeng Phet the PEA employ a team of tree surgeons, hackers or butchers to cut the trees back 2 or 3 times a year. The land between the road and the power poles is government land and the other side is the responsibility of the land owner though the contractors out here normally cut all the trees back.

We had some guys to cut back many of the trees, but they soon grow again unless they are butchered down to root and ground level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Looks like simple pruning. 2 months will be all back. Local teak farmer does things like this all the time keeps his trees growing straight not bushy with branchs going every where. Probably being done to get the tress to grow straight up till they grow past the power lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySeaman Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 At lest we can now see that the power pole is not leaning like the one here in Pattaya.

I've seen monks do this at their wat and I came back months later and the trees were growing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
