PHUKET: Strong winds that brought driving rain across the island this morning (May 12) felled a roadside streetlamp on the beachfront road in Kalim, north of Patong, blocking any traffic from passing through the area.

 

Patong Police and emergency services were called to the beachfront, near Sunset Kalim Soi 7, at about 9:30am.

 

Workers from the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) also soon arrived and began immediate repairs.

Well that lamp wasn't installed securely. Surprise surprise ! I guess the engineers didn't factor in strong winds.

A street lamp fell down..that's about as slow a news day as it gets if that's being reported.

I sure hope they were able to revive the street lamp on the way to the hospital!  ????

Not sure the engineers factored in a direct hit by a mosquito ????

Must get paid by the number of stories instead of real news reported .
