[smokie36]

Have you fallen off the wagon yet BigC?

[Boater]

No water, no bread....... basically nothing. The supermarket in Emporium seems to be the last place that has anything

3 mistakes.......and supplies are getting low everywhere and will continue to be short for the next weeks or so.......

[samuijimmy]

A friend just arrived on KP for annual six month visit and says no water in stores there and selves very empty of food too....

Sure hope it does not affect the 20 litre water bottles that are delivered....

For those not aware of doing that, one pays 100 baht deposit for the bottle and anywhere from 10 to 20 baht per bottle... there are a number of companies around who do that both on Samui and KP.... (other areas too)..

Initially you need to either get someone who knows the company(s) to get it set up. Or look for the telephone # on the bottles which are used in your area and give them a shout. I use three bottles, so leave two by gate when empty ... usually they replace within a couple of days.

Yes well done Big C... almost a 100% but not quite there yet!

[limbos]

Haven't paid a deposit on these 20L bottles since about 6 or 7 years.

My misses over herd the staff saying that they have watr in storage but they are waiting till there is high demand then they are going to put there prices up.

Now it is just a rumer this info is not based on fact but time shall tell.

My question is? I know that supplys comes from bangkok but ae there other container ports in the south where containers can stop and unload supplies because to get to bangkok the ships have to pass sonkla in the south of thailand before getting to bangkok.

Or are big corperations working together to use disarters to maximiz profits

[Tropicalevo]

Quite a few empty shelves in Tesco this morning. NO DOG SNAX!

Still a few in BigC but I bought half of them.

Not much bread inTesco and tins of tuna disappearing. Few fresh veggies left.

Sorry Big C - I only drink treated water - usually Archa, Singha or Leo. Plenty of that around.

I bought another 40 litres there this morning and there is still about 120 litres of local 1.5 litre bottled water there if you are short, between soi 2 and soi 3 on your left heading to Nathon

Sorry Boater - love your posts but there are 3 spelling mistakes in BigC's missive. However, it was a very good attempt! I understood it perfectly, first time.

...and a "full stop" at the end of the sentence.....

[PoorSucker]

For Joe and BigC.

They are running short on diaper now, shit.

[Samuian]

"...the sun's shinin', an' da weather is fine..." get bottled, filtered, treated water from the local suppliers, "Bank" in Chaweng (Haad Ngam near the school) is one... on Samui are in every Tambon several suppliers, so this should defenatly pose no life threating shortage of drinkable water supplies.

Or did you just had one of thses days, Mr.BigC?

This, the shortage of certain supplies happens almost every year in the rainy season, since i can think back, but few seem to realize!

There always local supply channels kept open and running.

The big Players rely all on logstics and infrastructure from far away sources, but that is their problem!

Just last night this old lady riding her bike with side car through chaweng with many fresh veggies, greens, chillies, herbs... name it and she was selling well.

Who needs/wants "canned tuna" or Sardines if there is an abundance of fresh seafood available?

ah' well guess....those "need" it for their "suvival"...

Regarding a "shortage" of drinking water, surly the monsoon rain should be drinkable if collected out in the open and filtered through cotton wool in a funnel??

Maybe!!!!

[PoorSucker]

No drinking water in BigC or Makro.

Found 1 pack of suitable diaper in BigC.

Yes, perfectly ok, I sent a sample of such rainwater with a friend to the uk for testing. You are just being taken for a ride about the 20 litre bottles of water. Yes it is fine to drink, but has all minerals removed. Normal rain water is ok, after basic filtering.
