DFPhuket Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The ugly cables along the beach road in Patong have all disappeared. Yesterday several orange trucks were working on switching the electric lines from overhead poles to the underground cabling. The beach road will have an entirely new look once they remove the electric wires and poles. Let's hope they soon finish and resurface the road. Perhaps the mayor wants this finished before the election on March 28? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Of course you don't need cables if you don't have people. That is one very lonely rider in what appears to be a ghost town. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agusts Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yes, hopefully the Patong beach road is re-surfaced before 28 March, that is 2027 .... ! ???? I was talking to a Thai guy working there, he said no need to re-surface, all the potholes slow down the traffic...!? With that logic I see why they like it the way it is... ! ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deli Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The northern end of the road is a desaster and death trap for bikers. Who cares about the cables ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them digging some more today, every other day they decide they need a new hole....!!! I think the project has no duration or end date..., a bit like Covid19...????????

bloodyholly Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Not too sure when the actual reinstatement (to the usual standard) of the road is expected to be completed but the outgoing mayor was quoted as saying the removal etc of the old cables is scheduled to be completed by March 5, 2020 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good time to dig up the streets. Few people to bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
