Tropicalevo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 For those in the Choengmon, Plai Laem area that were without power this morning - another planned power cut on the 31st next. Good day to go to the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We had 2 in the last week 7hours & 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertmembernamehere Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Three separate outages today. Last one at the hottest time (about 3:30pm) for an hour. Really starting to get on my tits. It really just shows, in spite of all the grousing we expats do, the fact is that this place is a Third World country and Samui is in one of the more backward areas. Every time this happens, resorts must pay a great deal of money in petrol to run their generators. If I were them, I'd be presenting the power company with these bills.

Birdman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 when I settled on this island end the 80es, we sometimes had no electricity for days. No problem at all, no one complained, it didn't matter. Quite on the contrary. It was great. Perfectly tropical romantic, with all the candles and bonfires on the beaches, guitars, beautiful women under the shiny stars. Best time of the month actually. Still don't care very much about that, 'cause it's part of the game to stay here.....Tropi: Good day to go to the beach..... ......if you don't stay on a beach anyway, but if you don't stay or go to the beach, why here?

robsamui Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Hey Mr. Mod Boss Rooo - this topic has been sludging for a years now. Hundreds of back posts . . . 4000 views and going back 12 months. How about a brand new topic - "Where has Electric 2012."? Might have some day-to-day relevance? Pretty please?

Power company as far as I know does pay the resorts for scheduled interruptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
