Manager reported from the holiday island of Koh Samui in the south of Thailand after the authorities there finished burying unsightly cables and wires on a 3.1 km stretch of the road at Chaweng. 

 

Ratchaporn Poonsawat of the Samui Tourism Businesses Association was there along with mayor Natthaphon Rattanarak and many other officials giving the thumbs up for the cameras.

That was because they are spending 4.5 million baht on solar cell lighting panels on 150 posts 20 meters apart from First Bulgalow to the Clock Tower. 

 

The zigzag formation with other lighting will make it lovely and bright when the foreign tourists return to Chaweng later this year.

I know that I do not go into Chaweng often, but where the heck is the Clock Tower?

Note to self. I must get out more.

I think the last foreign tourist to leave already turned the light off ....

Meter removed for the introduction of the new solar cell system that hopes to be up and running for the start of the 2015 high season.....

A good idea for once.

But expecting foreign tourists to be back later in the year, that’s another story.

let’s hope the solar panels will work for more than a few months

Thank you. ????

Good for them. With the amount of power cuts on the island they will need them.

Seems like you missed the very center of Chaweng, the clock tower, which stands in front of all the bargain outlet shops for sneakers, and jeans, and other stuff...????

 

I'm not sure I have a photo of my own in stock, and I'm too lazy to search, but Google Street View is my friend...????????
