looks like all the tourists are drawing too much power, this bangrak powercut lasted exactly 30M.

That is not long enough to make them flee the island.

If memory serves me right, they are connecting to towers ( took a while to get permission to erect them ) across the hills, then to the cabling they were doing along the road in Maenam to the new substation.

There was a discussion 2 years ago if the cable should be on towers or go in pvc tubes in the ground and I think they finally went for towers.

I saw a reportage on Samui Channel News a few weeks ago (about coconut trees inside Soi 4 or 5 in Maenam), the camera did a sweep and a few huge metal towers was seen for a second or two.

Another point not mentioned yet is:

Can the PEA supply more and more power through the main power cables along the ring road? This seems to be the next bottle neck.

That shouldn't be any problem after the new 120MW cable arrives to the Maenam power plant, that plant will only supply the north side from Bang Po to Chaweng and Thong Krut power plant will supply the south side from Nathon up to Lamai.

The load on the distribution cables is always highest near the power plant since they see all of the load and the most common cause of power cuts in the past has been damaged cables near Thong Krut.

This will change when they section Samui into 2 distribution centres and they will then have lots of spare capacity in the distribution cables along the ring road.

So I guess that will postpone building an airport near Donsak..

Very circumstantial, isn't it?

The fat cow is not satisfied with the election result and has asked for a new election supervised by the governments election commission.

yes agree

common sense seems to be lost by many tourists somewhere between the airport and their hotel

ive been here over 10 years and with all that common sense being lost, would have thought i would have seen some at some stage but alas............never

It is not lost, there is a lot of common sense floating around waiting to be grabbed and there is not a lot of competition from the locals to get it.

Wow !! a neighbour has just gone to vote, two different candidates gave 4000 baht, each ... Payday !!!!

I wonder which one will get the vote!!! ?

I just wonder how many people your neighbour has bragged to about taking money from both camps and how long it will take for the Thai jungle telegraph to deliver the news to both candidates..

I hope this election is going to be nullified because of vote buying.

Then everyone can have another go at the handouts.

Again and again gets nullified until some poor man wins.

Yes I agree with that.

I've during the last 3 weeks learnt about agents and recruiters, seen extended family members checking their name lists against voting lengths and getting paid a red one for each undecided voter they are being able to list.

I don't think it is the major (sic) candidates funding all of it, each tamboon elects 2 candidates to work with the new mayor so they are likely the ones shopping for votes.

Extended family got very upset a few days ago when the fat cow team upped the ante..

And people wonder why there is corruption... It's people like you and your wife who encourage politicians to steal. For every 1000 baht handout, 2000 baht is taken back from the people. And you are allowing it. Thank you for stealing my, and other Samuians money! Next time I blow a tyre in a pothole, I will send you the bill for a new one.

She's taking the money and votes for the other candidate.

There is no confidentiality, both teams will know who voted for which team.

I know the tourist policeman in the picture , and he will come down hard on this thug ...

Nui

Yes he doesn't like when men are abusing women, he will not let this pass.

It was more than 1 hour sure....but not much/enough to fill the reservoirs.

Weather radars says rain within an hour, looks like it will last a bit longer than yesterday

Missus says that a plane lost one wheel so if anyone finds it then you know where to return it.

minor passenger injuries, no one deadded..

I doubt they would do scheduled maintenance in the evenings....?

I doubt they know what maintenance is and even if they did they wouldn't know what schedule is.

Since you have not told us the name of the product, how can it be tested?

It's not unlike writing that tesco is selling food, has anyone eaten it?

The name of the product is in the thread title..

True 3G and True HSPA

I can see that UBC is linked to TRUE, but it still doesn't tell me the specific name of the product.

Since there are no other reports of TRUE 3G working as yet, perhaps it is CAT CDMA. So that why I'm interested in the name of the product.

Thank you for your input, but my reply was addressed to Big C.

Product description: TV channels via satellite

Product name: True Vision

Product description: Internet via the mobile network

Product name: True 3G and True HSPA

get it now?

Like most lottery winners our winner has asked to remain annonymous, well done see you next week.

Thank you and see you papa. :jap:

It still works using SCB internet on-line banking, I just topped up my and my sons dtac cards and none of those numbers are registered with SCB. Might be that one can't top up a new number without registering them - both of those I topped up are "previously known top up numbers"

which resturant and where abouts ??

Right side when coming from Chaweng, 100 meter before road to HinTa - HinYai

Don't know where the cops come from, presumably Suratthani.

Yes, they were from Surat. Seems the forward sharing chain is broken and they had to go come and collect by themselves.

Hopefully they share upwards or we'll have the Bkk speedway BiB's here as well.

20 minutes if u r lucky i have seen people wait hours

Seen?

Were you stood there clocking them?

Just need another house dog and if a whole BBQ chicken can't shift the bitch then I think there is no hope left

It's that season now - the bitches are in heat.

She's prolly looking for something more than a BBQ chicken.. and getting it down in the valley

These pipes have been laid in in Choengmon all the way down to Bophud and they're for distributing government water.

You are kidding us, right? It is a well known fact that there is no water in the black pipes after Maenam on thee north side or after Lamai on the east side of the island.

Page 10 of the latest issue of the Samui Gazzette says the black pipes are for the first stage of underground Cabling on Samui.

(IMO this will take the next 100 years)

Yes, it is for high-voltage underground cables from Tong Krut to the new distribution plant they are building in Maenam which will serve the north of Samui.

Their other alternative which got scrapped was to run the cables on high towers across the mountain.

(horseface, you can put away your aerosol can now )

Any guns for sale?

It's for transporting the oil from from the landing point in south Samui to the new harbour in Bang Rak :jap:
