oh no digging up the roads/sidewalks - prob finish the project in the next 50yrs.

^ 50 years? I think you're being a tad optimistic there.

By the time they get around to starting the project electricity will have been replaces by alpha-omega waves generated by the beating wings of Peruvian butterflies feeding on sunbeams.

I wounder which will happen first, underground power lines and cables OR street walkers from beach road disappear?

^neither if you want the truth.

In Chiang Mai the city and EGAT have just finished the removal of overhead lines on Chang Khlan Road and Tha Phae Road. This took 4 years to complete. I can guess what it would take for Pattaya.

"Sidewalks" when did you spot one of them Brit
