Electricity poles removed as utilities go underground
Metropolitan Electricity Authority workers started to remove electricity poles along Bangkok's Pradiphat Road on Wednesday as part of the agency's "smart metro" project to move electricity and communication wires underground.
The project's first phrase will involve an eight-kilometre section from the Lat Phrao intersection to the Victory Monument.
The concrete poles will be donated to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for its coastal erosion prevention project at Bang Khun Thien.
