The power is off here in Plai Laem - since 9am.

Anyone else off, or is it only us?

Bangrak fine. (He said in a non-gloating way. More a "please not us again" way really.)

So the electric system can't even survive a little shower.

It could be a long old november!

Lasted about an hour. It might have been with all the lightning strikes. Funny enough though when we had these severe wind gusts, not outages at all, as before a strong breeze would have caused an outage.

Just had two very short cut offs of about 2 or 3 minutes each, in Plai Laem, near the Temple.

[Tropicalevo]

So - no big winds and no storms.

No power last night in Plai Laem for a while, and again, no power this morning.

Does anyone know what is going on?

@ hours 8.20 to 10.15 last night in Bophut. On the postive side watched the garden light up with fireflies.

Mae Nam likewise - but no fireflies. Had all the nearby teenagers sitting on their balconies yelling at each other long-distance from house to house instead. Can't understand why any of them bother with phones . . .

Was out for dinner there last night. A lorry thundered through with a huge digger loaded on the back, scraping the trees and power lines as it went. I thought that we were in for a power cut, and guess what?

Maybe they were driving it back again this morning?

I'm headless, could have saved a few bob on my electrics

We (Prermier Sports Bar) had a power cut in Bangrak 10 minutes before the 10pm football matches started,,,, good job our generator is working perfect. Otherwise there could have been a marauding mob of angry footy fans roaming the dark streets looking for somthing to do.

It also helped all the couch potatos get out n about. rather than roast at home with no electric.

[Rooo]

Look in the bright side as they say.

On that note - it's encouraging that there seem to be a lot of fireflies around this year. We have quite a lot up here in Plai Laem too.

sorry

Mind you. If I put enough of them in a jar - save on batteries maybe?

That would do it.

Amazing, with all the high winds & rain just a 5 second glitch in the past 2 days.

Back of Wat Lamai this year so far has been off about 3/4 times, the 1st January, off in the morning and again in the afternoon. The night of 1/2nd Jan off again. Last night 2 phases way down on power, and still so. Happy new year Samui electric.
