CABLE CHAOS - FINALLY UNTYING THE KNOTS

An unpleasant feature of Hua Hin, and, to be fair, every other town and city in Thailand, was the target of a recent meeting between local authorities and utility providers, where discussions were held to start dealing with the unsightly and unsafe messes of cables that have accumulated all over the city.

The meeting, held in response to citizen complaints to the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) Hua Hin Branch, brought together the Deputy Mayor Atichart Chaisri and Hua Hin District Chief Prasoot Hombanthoeng with PEA Hua Hin managers and representatives from various communication cable operators and other officials. They agreed on a plan to reorganise and tidy up cables in nine problem areas, as follows:

Under Nong Kae Bridge (U-turn area)
Cicada Market (Nong Kae – Takiab Road)
Hua Hin Soi 94 (left side)
Hua Hin Soi 56 (new Dinosaur Market)
In front of Ban Bo Fai School (Soi 6)
In front of the old Dinosaur Market (fresh market, also Soi 56)
Hua Hin Soi 126 (main road area)
Hua Hin Soi 126
Hua Hin Soi 19

The work should already have started, and is scheduled to be carried out into December, with the aim being to reduce safety risks to life and property, prevent service interruptions, and enhance the overall appearance of Hua Hin’s streets.

While this is welcome action, it has been a long time coming, and tragically much too late for two people who were killed in May this year after their motorbike struck a sagging power cable during flash floods, electrocuting both. It has to be hoped that both this essential maintenance being carried out now, and ongoing attention to this will avoid a repeat of such an avoidable accident. Hua Hin citizens can help by reporting any loose or low-hanging wires, or other potential related hazards immediately by calling Hua Hin Police Station on 032-511027 or dialling 191.
