Pattaya takes steps towards becoming a wireless city by clearing South Road of cumbersome power poles.

PATTAYA, Thailand – Following the successful removal of overhead power lines along Walking Street, Pattaya continues its push for a wireless city, launching a new project to get rid of power poles along South Pattaya Road.



On March 27, Pattaya City in collaboration with the Provincial Electricity Authority Pattaya branch began the removal process. Mayor Poramet Ngampichet said, “The goal of this exercise is to enhance the cityscape, reduce visual clutter, and foster a more modern and visually appealing environment.”



To ensure smooth traffic flow during operations, police officers and peacekeeping personnel were deployed. The Mayor apologized for any inconvenience and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to advancing its wireless infrastructure for residents and visitors.
