Can Russell Crowe succeed in cleaning up Bangkok’s terrible wiring?

A tweet from the actor has sparked a call to action by Thailand's prime minister, but will anything really change?

Reams of black wiring suspended between poles, haphazardly bundled into nest-like knots, and often hanging at head height are a common sight in Bangkok, and has become almost synonymous with the city.

If you walk around my area, there are many wire bundles hanging down to human height or sitting on the ground along the pedestrian walkway," says Kullapa Sakkaravech, a language teacher from Bangkok.
