Hanging wires in the news again – who could put up with this?

A Chiang Mai woman has reached the end of her tether after a tangled mass of cables and wires means she can hardly get in her own house.

And after repeated complaints fell on deaf ears she went to reporters to get something done about the unsightly mess at her place near the Mae Jo university, reported Daily News.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said that the problem with the eye level cables had been getting worse and worse for a year. She had reported the matter but very little had been done.

Apart from being very inconvenient she was worried that the mess might present a fire hazard.

The local electrical generating authority said that the wires were cables of several different companies. They have now called in the businesses to discuss how to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

Last week none other than Microsoft Bill Gates complained about the wires in Thai cities prompting action by the government who said they will bury the wires underground.
