Help For An Expate To Night Bad Storm In Samui

Featured Replies

Hi if you are in Thailand and have a few min to help me here is the problem.

I am out of town (off island) making a visa and a bit worried as I cant get a call thru from Malaysia back at our home in Samui. I have made about 100 tries but no way jose.

Could someone call for me and check in with my girl and make sure she is ok?

I dont know why I cant get thru but with the big storm and all I hear about there I am not suprised either.

Her name is Ta

*number removed*

[email protected] is my e-mail.

Just let me know if she is ok and ask her (or anyone there else knows) if I should delay coming back for a day or 2 if I cant make it all the way back there?

I have a mini bus ticket leaving for in the morning 5 am and would rather sleep here another night then somehwere else in Thailand if I cant return safely to Samui on Sat afternoon.

Any advise or help welcome thanks, Aya

thanks again for the calls and help. I dont know what the problems are.

These are all for sure good numbers I think.

One is a biz land line next door that is well used as are the two hand phone line numbers I gave you too.

They have been working for years.

Do you have DTAC by any chance?

Sometimes that wont work with AIS lines I am only guessing at this point.

Not sure what to do. How is it in Samui now if that is where you are?

I know the lines are not so good this time with the rain and all. Also maybe the hand phone batteries are dead without power in that area? I am only guessing again.

Ok if you dont mind trying again that would be nice I will check the numbers but I think they are for surer correct

ok so I am going to sleep (up at 5 am for the minibus) and will check in with

her hopefully in the morning by phone from Thailand as I will cross the border around 9 am or so. Thanks for the help

Bye Aya

Aya / Bambi- Just a bit of friendly advice....

You should pass phone numbers by private message instead of posting in the open forum. Some freaky guest member (483 online right now) might decide to call up the GF and give her a hard time.

You may want to edit your posts / contact a mod to do it if it is too late to do it yourself.

thanks for the advise

she sleeps with a big gun and has a friend staying over with her so I think she will be fine

She taught me how to use it too so she knows what she is doing

Hat Yai is flooded, I understand. The ferries are running to Samui but I don't know that I would want to be on one, the waves are quite big. Samui and Phangan have been having power outages all day, probably her battery is dead. Or could be the towers are down. Land lines have been sporadic too, I am afraid, ours is working now but wasn't earlier today.

Will she shoot the telephone if some pervert starts calling?

bino if I could ban you I would maybe even a bit more than that

maybe you could have her take your computer out while she was at it too?

if all friends were like you, the world would really be in trouble

good thing there are people who care instead of trash like you on the planet

find a life buddy before you loose it

@ ayakiawe dont be panic ..

obviously it has strom there ..but in no news tell us its too much disaster

maybe she is speeping

btw, i will try again, maybe tomorrow

I don't know what to say if your sole response to sensible advice is is flames and threats like this.

I wasn't going to reply, but you have made me curious;

maybe you could have her take your computer out while she was at it too?

Who is "her / she"?

Ayakiawe, binos advice was good & I think you misunderstood his post, he was stating that there can be strange people on an internet forum who could make trouble for your gf & the other people who's numbers you had given & I agree with him, so I have removed them & suggest you send them via pm if someone offers to call her.

Ackiewackie,

Still making sense I see!!

Maybe the gun is for you upon your return!

Ackiewackie is an old aquanitance from another forum a long time ago. He used to talk dribble then too.......
