champers Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 On Pattaya North Road (Nua) opposite T21 going up the hill from Dolphin Circus. It has taken a while but all the spaghetti junctions of overhead cable are being taken down. They were piled up on the pavement and will hopefully be moved later today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the contractors do not move the old cables piled up on the pavement, they will definitely be gone by the morning! 555 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I trust this will eliminate all the finger-pointing and sneering from our ace TVF Cable Burying Experts that they were still seeing cables and Thais don't know how to bury cables. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went up Nua as far as 3rd Rd today and piles of wiring are stacked up on both sides of the road. Pavements are completely blocked in dozens of places. It is a disgrace and not a little dangerous. You might think City Hall would take some action, not least because a couple of stacks are bang outside their place. It is a big weekend for the city with thousands visiting for the music festival, many of whom will be heading down Nua to go to the beach. There is talk by the City Council of high quality and values. This should not include a main thoroughfare looking like a scrapyard. They should take more pride in their city.

Jaxxper Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 City hall have committed to the cables and masts being gone by year end. Lot of scrap copper in them there redundant cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandra Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I might be mistaken, but I have noticed that most of the businesses and buildings, if not all, from the left side of the street where the cables have been removed are completely deserted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, certainly not all businesses are closed. Edited December 15, 2020 by champers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo1968 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Little value in the cables, very little copper in them so one would go to the bother of ‘moving’ them. If it was power cables they would disappear before they hit the ground ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
