Popular Post ChipButty Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 Carnage at 3am on Sai Yuan Road, First a Big Shout Out to the guys from PEA they did a brilliant job in this heat, The electric was out for 15 hours almost 6 pm before it came back on. They brought guys in from all over the island so Im told from different areas with their equipment. What happened you might ask, around 3 am some guy deicides to cause some chaos on Sai Yuan road not just takes one electric pole but 8 of them and then continues to smash into a parked car, I would say it's right off, But he lives to tell the story and he was taken away by the police and the rest of us were left to suffer. The road was completely closed off, Im led to believe the driver on the rampage was Russian in a brand new Mazada, That night of madness is going to cost a few quid, 1 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it, All the boss's from the PEA also joined in, they have requested his passport is held, around 100,000 per pole x8 plus all the machinery and equipment + labour, Don't forget all the internet cables, 4 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also payments on the Mazda, if he had a loan. I heard that the car dealers are practically giving away cars to move them. Someone is going to want their money. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the one Im thinking of it's down by Rawai water park, there is a school there and a language school, children's play area and 2 swimming pools and a whole load of villas, It's like little Moscow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rwill Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 At least half of the power poles in Thailand look like they are ready to topple all by themselves. I'm sure the driver only took out one pole and the others joined in sympathy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's one area of government that actually works, fixed up a blown transformer within an hour or two near me, and when they upgraded the lines each part was only down for an hour there abouts, impressively fast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
