First things first…. They work on Saturday….. That surprised me as, from what I had read etc, the last things the Thai’s would do is extend themselves to the weekend. When you get here the first thing that grabs you is the mess of wires (literally) hanging from the poles. I couldn’t imagine how this happens except for some dodgy DIY structured cabling methodology. As it turns out….
Check this out. This guy is running in a new (I assume) telephone cable. It is a broom stick with a bent coat hanger to guide the cable as the other guy rolls it out.
The traffic is traveling under his new cable that’s only been held up by his stick and the tension the guy with the roll is adding. When it bounced out of the stick and fell in front of a motorcycle everyone had a heart attack. You could see the cabling guys thinking “shit, we’ll have to run a new one” and the motor cyclist thinking “WTF is that and why am I getting tangled up and… oops nearly came off”
