Exposed cables that stretch over an overpass near the popular Bangkaew Market in Bangkok’s outskirts have become a topic of discussion on Facebook today, with locals virtually shaking their heads at how poorly their government handled the wiring.
Thailand is known for its “cable art” that even Bill Gates noticed and shared on his Facebook.
This instance, however, is tougher to joke about as people in Samut Songkhram have had to duck under the wires to avoid possible electrocution.
They’re reportedly telecommunication wires.

Facebook user Boonyuen Siritum shared the photos of the shoddy wiring on her Facebook yesterday as people flocked to comment with the phrase “Thailand only.”
Sombat Sakonrit, a security guard in the area, told Matichon that some people have hurt themselves by walking right into the cables and stumbling. This has been going on for months.
