webfact Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 By Adam Judd Pattaya, Thailand-Pattaya has made significant progress on removing old cables on Walking Street that have been an eyesore for many years. The ongoing project, which is working in sections, removes unused cables entirely and moves others that are needed underground. This greatly improves the aesthetics of the street and also makes things safer for businesses.

jacko45k Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 What a coincidence... I was thinking of this only yesterday while looking at the incomplete ankle breaker condition of the pavement Infront of Foodland and the eyesore cables above on the side streets. (And the abundance of litter). Pattaya will always be scruffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skorp13 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I will miss the old cables, was part of the 3rd world charm. If you want to fly 3,000 miles to be like you're in Miami, just go to Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
