KarenBravo Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If it's at night, it isn't routine maintenance. Something has malfunctioned, or, there's been an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katasyd Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 At least you get some peace from the angle grinders and loud music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) If it's at night, it isn't routine maintenance. Lack thereof. A power line was cut due to tree branches on Wichit Rd. near Sai Yuan Rd. The lines went right through the middle of a huge tree. Looked like it had never been trimmed around the lines. .

ScubaBuddha Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Probably a car hitting a power pole, power came back on at about 2300 hours tried to contact them on there emergency number but got no answer It was a tree shorting/breaking a power line near Wichit/Sai Yuan. Power is out again this morning/early afternoon. Not sure why this time but this is getting annoying. I used to have a number at my old place. I have never had any success calling when the power is out. I just called the number on the electric bill - 076 212 125, but got a recording that the number is out of service. What is the emergency number you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the emergency number you have? Power was also out in certain areas of Kata, just came back on. What do you mean with 'Wichit' BTW, do you mean the road normally spelled Viset Road?

KarenBravo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Next time you go past the Software park, check out how they have planted fox-tail palms right underneath the mains lines. Another year, or so, there's going to be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 My power never went out on Soi Cokmakham, just my cable and internet. I could hear some outdoor concert going on until 2 AM last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebike Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 What do you mean with 'Wichit' BTW, do you mean the road normally spelled Viset Road? Transliteration is a fluid thing... I saw a gov't sign transliterating "Phuket" as "Phu Ket" the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with that question? What's the big deal here. I've seen it spelled Viset, Wiset, and Wichit, even Wichet. Just Google all those spellings and you will see address examples for Rawai area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yes, except that the area called Wichit is between Chalong and Phuket Town, so, it does make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuandchris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) My we are all becoming sarcastic, pedantic so and so's aren't we. Chill out, the sun is shining and evanson can get San Mig in the dangerous mom and pop stores so all is well with the world! I live off Wichit Rd and couldn't care less how you spell it as long as my mail gets here. Edited October 31, 2011 by stuandchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google all those spellings and you will see address examples for Rawai area. No big deal at all. I just asked SB a question to be sure he means the road normally called Viset Road. Probably that is the road he means, but just would like to be 100% sure, that is all. And suddenly everybody makes a big deal out of this? SB seems to not care at all because he does not bother to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
