snoop1130 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hanging wires: An accident waiting to happen as villagers name and shame Villagers in Ubon have gone to the Thai media to name and shame their local authority who have ignored their pleas to do something about a bunch of hanging wires. The telephone and other cables are about adult head height leading to the village in Khemmarat sub district of Khemmarat district in the north eastern Thai province. Taller vehicles such as school bus transport, minivans and six wheel trucks can't get through at all. Assistant to the phu yai ban Suwit Kosa said that phone calls over the last year to the local authority had all been met with indifference and inaction. He called it a dangerous situation especially for students. So they went to Thai media Sanook who showed many of the local kids with the offending wires.

According to me a student would have easier to see the wires, than 91 year old granpa on his bicycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I would have put two concrete poles long time ago. Cost maybe 500 Baht instead of waiting an accident to happen or to be without electricity or Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 OK so the wires are too low, why wait until somebody gets hurt or killed. Villagers all over use bamboo poles to lift the wires, so why cant they do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I don't know what it is but there is something so Thai about having your pic taken holding a tape measure. What ever the reading is the blasted cables are too blasted low. Blast , wound myself up now , must make another cuppa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
