Chan Road: In front of the Emerald Red Pork Rice Shop (St. Louis) at Chan Road, Soi 18/7, Intersection 5, there is a tree that was planted near the back of the electric pole. The branches were cut off so that the branches would not touch the electrical wires. Either the tree is in the wrong place or the electric pole is in the wrong place. Trees or electric poles should continue to be there.
The Metropolitan Electricity Authority of Thailand has a Sai Tai Din (project to change the aerial cable system to an underground power cable) project. The Metropolitan Electricity Authority has stated on the Metropolitan Electricity Authority's website that in the Sathorn area, the aerial cable has been replaced with an underground power cable.
There were still a lot of aerial cables tangled around Chan Road. A tangled wire can be dangerous. The wires alone are highly likely to be dangerous. But at Chan Road Soi 18/7 Intersection 5, there is a tree beside the electric pole that grows until its branches have collided with the wires.
If the electric cable causes a fire in the tree, The Metropolitan Electricity Authority of Thailand should expedite the completion of this project so that it does not affect people and can plant trees to reduce global warming without destroying it.
