gandalf12 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 They all carry blame. Who owns the poles the cables are hung on? The owners should make sure a proper standard is maintained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitti Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Things are gradually changing. Starting from Sukhumvit, Bangkok, cables/wirings are going underground. I think they are going to begin the work around the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Wireless will not get rid of cables. High security links have to use cables. trouble with wireless or radio systems is fade. Also of course there is a limit to te frequency and bandwidth availability no matter what system you use. I guess we are stuck with it for the forseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ableguy Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Absolute crock of shi..... T. Money talks ,no planning ,no bye laws, nobody paid to check up, and if there were they would be bought, third world and corruption visible on every street corner. Welcome to Los, not to mention pattaya probably the largest brothel in the world, but hey as one M P said there are no prostitues in Pattaya because it's illegal, the big joke here is of course it was a respected official of the government who said this so it must be true. Wires who cares.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Why dont they lay the cables in the ground like most western countries ? Do you actually live in Thailand? It is hard to believe. Please go to a construction site and look at the level of the water table. Now, add a monsoon to that ... But really, do you live in the Kingdom? What a stupid response ,the reality is laying cables underground costs around a million baht per kilometer , as from the governments figures, water has nothing to do with it, do you think it never. Rains in Seattle or Manchester, stop trying to be smart when you are not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Why dont they lay the cables in the ground like most western countries ? Because they are not a Western country. Singapore? Hong Kong? They manage it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The water table has absolutely nothing to do with it. They put a SUBWAY underground didn't they? They strictly don't want to spend the money. The cable companies should have been required to put the cables underground as part of their contract to service a city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Enough with this water table nonsense! As I said before, they put an entire subway underground in BKK and the city sits about 2 inches above sea level--and is sinking to boot. In Pattaya, they put the electrical wires underground on Jomtien Second Road--just 2 blocks from the beach. It can be done. No, its only the cost stopping it, not the water table.

bander Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 wow, how would they ever find a fault? They don't, they just draw a new line to the house who have a fault. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 PEA will have all the work permits and completion certificates for each cable so it would not be very difficult for them to sort out the mess and get the appropriate company to rectify any cable location that does not meet their stringent safety regulations regarding safe height and voltage location etc, for each cable.

cauldlad Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 "every company other than the PEA is responsible for adding to the cable problem so evident throughout Pattaya" And this is the Company responsible for running the show!!!

phycokiller Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 a lot of people saying they dont want to spend money fixing this. personally I hope they dont bother fixing it. the cost will be passed on to internet users and I dont care about bunches of wire everywhere, i quite like them in fact, not really sure why people are getting up tight about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas2 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) When will these (local) "authorities" fools finally realize that their constant pathetic excuses make themselves only look even worse?When will they learn that their ignorance isn't any indication of any strength and everybody can see that their ignorance is only surpassed by their incompetence?When will they learn that they also lose face by confessing their incompetence?... Even if they smirk and blame others for their own shorcomings? Just look at the picture in the OP. "Don't blame me. I'm also as shocked... and well entertained as you are."When will these court jesters finally learn to learn something? Anything?PS: Tax money well spent.
