Surely the pole should be removed if it DID represent an immediate danger to passing tourists, (bo11ox to passing Thais)

Or could it mean that the actual removal could pose such a danger!   

that pole has been leaning like that as long as i can remember.

And that road could do with a new surface - full of holes 

one job at once......years ago Bill Gates complained about ALL the wires.....and something was started to clean the place up......but IT TAKES TIME !!!!!!

On Chaweng Beach road, Samui they buried the cables when corona hit and there were no tourists.

Some more for social media posts. This missing tile exposes a 1/2 meter drop to a water level.  So this sidewalk just up from lam pho seafood market has no substrate at all in this area.  I placed a cone on it.  But a 120 kg person is going to collapse it down.

So in addition to avoid stepping into a well on the sidewalk.  Watch for the hanging wires around your neck. And in this family friendly resort don't forget to look both ways when crossing the sidewalks

foreigners who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. tell me the name of their home country and I reckon I could scare up something negative about that place in a few seconds.

A sever shortage of thought goes into most of the installations country wide.

Why not? Perhaps they go on holiday looking for something better.

Complaints like this seem to be  the only thing that gets local authority's attention..... they don't care about residents much.

Don't release your breath but I think I saw some work going on the Klang pavement recently!!!!

why go on holiday to a foreign country just to pick holes in the place? neo-colonialism much?

 

unfinished roadworks etc is all part of the charm of the place. if you want perfection then stay at home in Utopia. or go back there if it all gets too much, nobody's holding a gun at your head.

No need to worry about this issue any longer.

Assurances have been given that all the cables will be buried on 9 roads in the next 20 days or so.

I think the time frame has been mixed up. It should read 20 years or so.

You need to direct your comments elsewhere, they seem out of place to someone who has lived here many years.

Maybe because the travel agent's glossy brochure is misleading.  ????
