AIS wired to untangle Thailand’s messy power poles
AIS is stepping up its game in supporting the government and public safety by tackling one of Thailand’s most notorious urban eyesores: tangled, overloaded power poles.
In a major collaboration with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), AIS dispatched a specialist team of engineers to Ban Chang district in Rayong province to dismantle and organise telecommunications cables and equipment attached to power poles.
The move aims to reduce accident risks, improve public safety, and enhance the city’s appearance.
The clean-up operation was overseen by Prasit Chanprasith, Deputy Governor of Business and Marketing at PEA, who emphasised the importance of structured infrastructure management.
“This initiative aligns with our commitment to ensuring public safety and maintaining an organised telecommunications network that benefits both businesses and residents.”
For years, Thailand’s power poles have been overloaded with tangled wires, creating not just an unsightly mess but also posing serious hazards, including electrical fires and falling debris.
AIS’s involvement in cleaning up the infrastructure reflects its commitment to corporate social responsibility and enhancing urban environments.
AIS has consistently worked to streamline and manage telecommunications networks in cooperation with the government.
This latest project is part of a broader initiative to ensure that essential infrastructure is well-maintained, efficient, and visually appealing.
The government has been pushing for better regulation and management of telecommunications cables, stressing the importance of safety and urban planning.
AIS’s proactive involvement in these efforts not only aligns with national policies but also demonstrates its role as a responsible digital service provider.
Residents and businesses in Rayong have welcomed the move, noting that clearer, less cluttered streets will contribute to a safer and more modern urban landscape, reported KhaoSod.
With AIS leading the way in infrastructure clean-ups, it is expected that more areas across Thailand will soon benefit from similar initiatives, making cityscapes safer, neater, and more future-ready.
