The Provincial Electrical Authority is trimming trees in Pattaya to
prevent fires, as well as accidents from amateur branch pruners.
The PEA proactively cuts back branches intertwining with power lines on
Thepprasit road and surrounding areas before rainy season to prevent
electrical fires. But it also has seen too many home and business owners
get electrocuted after snipping power lines while cutting back their own
trees.
The utility said it will take requests to trim trees 24 hours a day.
Their hotline is 1130, and the Provincial Electricity Authority Pattaya
office numbers are 038-221-007, 038-221-863, and 038-222-085.
