lindaz Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 How is the electric condition in phuket town and each beach? In bangkok, blackout is not often, maybe beachside house electric power is often out of use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Sometimes you can go 1 month without a spike or an outage, but sometimes it can happen daily. It seems every time it rains you at least get a spike, so buy a UPS for all of your computers and tv's etc. I have blown up a computer power supply twice and a monitor.

It really depends on the day, you never know when or how long. Most times it is not that long, but it is raining at the moment, so . . . .

BobAnderson Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 The power seems a lot better than two years ago - or even six months ago. But, still can be off for short periods of time at totally unpredictable intervals. No problem for a couple weeks, problems for a couple days. Rain seems to make some difference too. UPS is critical for a computer - as there are often quite unnoticable very short outages - just enough to reset your computer - but you'd notice nothing on the TV or the AC units. But you sure do hear the UPS unit beep! Where, how often, how long? Best answers: depends and unpredicatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 until now, how long hours did you have most long hours experience of electric power off in phuket?and which location in phuket? The longest ive seen the power down in Phuket is 8 hours, Choa Far Raod East, Last month (July) Wasnt raining. Generally if its raining hard you can almost expect the power to go off for 5 or 10 minutes. Otherwise its just the occasional power spike. If youve got anything valuable thats electrical, as Tornado said, Put it on a surge protected UPS or risk having it blow up. Otherwise the power is pretty stable, as BobAnderson says, its slowly improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
