(Photo by Jakkrit Waewklayhong)Hasty construction of a small concrete track in Trat has left an electricity pole standing erect in the middle of the single-lane road. A Facebook user on Monday posted pictures of the road, with an electricity pole seen standing almost in the centre, and a sarcastic message that read, "A road in Trat province. The reinforced concrete road is three metres wide and 260 metres long in Soi Loong Pon, tambon Ao Yai of Trat's Muang district. Trat Provincial Electricity Authority manager Thawatchai Roisri said workers could remove the electricity pole either on Thursday or Friday, depending on whether the concrete was dry and set. The cost of removing the pole would be collected from the contractor, he said, adding that normally electricity pole removals are requested and arranged before construction.
