Do something about these wires say Nakorn Sri Thammarat residents


IMage: Daily News

NAKHORN SRI THAMMARAT: -- Residents of a busy area in Nakorn Sri Thammarat are up in arms over a load of electrical wires all over the footpaths in their town.

They are worried that the wires present a danger to pedestrians and especially children going to and from school reported Daily News.

Calls to the power company have gone unheeded so residents of Rachadamnoen Road in the Khlang district contacted reporters to help with their case.

The wires are seen strewn over a bus shelter, along footpaths and in a great heap in one area. Locals said that they don't know if it is dangerous or not but they want the authorities to sort it out. One local said it was left in this way some time ago when some work was carried out.

Apart from the bus stop there is a busy post office and the Kanyanee school in the immediate area.

I think they are just communication lines. Wear rubber boots and cut them to clear them away. The same happens in Bangkok, cables are left on footpaths for months

More evidence that Thailand is well on the way to becoming a "developed" country!!

Park a few cars and trucks across the road and block it and then see how fast the situation gets sorted.

Fastest way to get anyone in authority to do anything in Thailand is block a road.

Weird.

Normally the Thais will cut costs so that one would expect the cables to be too short.

Here they look way too long.

Yes, they left a bunch of wires in a heap in the middle of a busy road near my condo 6 weeks ago. They are still in the road being slowly pulverized.

Definitely not.

Have a good look and notice the numerous coils of wire surplus to need tied up near the junction points.

I think the long cables with coils on the posts are fibre optic cables which are difficult to make termination on the ends in the field for joining. They are therefore manufactured in standard lengths. When they are too long, the easy way is to coil the excess.
