ChouDoufu Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Transformers? mmm....could be....or perhaps something more nefarious? more than meets the eye, indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaacorp Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 It happened to me a couple of time in sukhumvit soi 12. Most of the time the wind made a blowout with the wires and the transformers cut after a big bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Yeah, what's that all about then? Most heavy rains our power goes (Mae Jo) for between 30 mins and a few hours. You'd think that once they'd sussed the problem, they'd put a permanent fix in place. Mind you, looking at the spagetti wiring everywhere, I suppose it only takes a bit of wind and a couple of badly insulated cables to come together and "BANG" there you go again. TIT - gotta love it!
