depi Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The worst is that our house's water depend also on electricity, so no water today too and also problem with dtac signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryfarang Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just came back on in Hua Thanon. No electric for 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steele404 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Called the electric company, problem with the underwater cable. Engineers are have flown in from Bangkok but cannot do anything just yet. Have to wait till tomorrow. Cannot contact any of my staff in Haad Rin - Koh Phangan, as DTAC towers are all out :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 AFAIK Koh Phangan is completely without power (except that coming from generators). DTAC and AIS are down, TRUE still on. Gas station cannot supply fuel because they don't have a backup system. My wife (I don't stay in KPG) got the last thousand Baht from a gas station using an emergency hand system to get up the gas. ;-) My generators will not last forever. I hope the power will come back in the morning. The problem is in the u/w cable that connect Samui and Phangan with the national grid in Khanom. A clamorous lack of professionalism from the Electric Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The electricity is back on the other side of the road from IT Complex. So parts of samui got electricity already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 9.30 pm and still no power in Plai Laem. 3BB down TOT down (still) Truemove dongle working - slowly. It has not been this bad on a planned maintenance since they first brought the extra cables over from the mainland. That was a few years back - 3 days! (At Christmas as well) Looks like a BBQ tomorrow if the power does not come back on soon (I do not want to run the Genny all night). Sausages, bacon and lamb chops in the freezer!

monkeycountry Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Power back at Chaweng Beach Road - at least a large part of it. A staff at the power company claims power is being rationed, so each area will have power for appx. 2 hours at a time. They also confirm the broken cable story, and has shown pictures of the dug up cables near a transformer station somewhere. The pictures are taken at night, and there were lots of guys with yellow hard hats, so unless it's just a publicity stunt, it looks like they are working on it through the evening/night.

Mole Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've just been back home to take a shower and change clothes. There's electricity in parts of Lamai and all the way to Chaweng Noi, but that's it. Coming into Chaweng from the Family Mart near Ohms Motorcycle, it's all dark from there on and the entire Chaweng area, around the lake etc. Looks like I'll be spending the night here at the office.

PoorSucker Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Chaweng, what I can see from my place lit up like a XMAS tree. Just came back to Samui, dark from Raja Ferry until my street. OK, I'll turn of the Christmas tree if it steals all the juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chua Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Power in Chaweng is from individual shop and hotel generators. No actual PEA power. Rumor is the cut was caused by the current mayor's opposing candidate who's running for re election in just 2 days. The timing is incredibly coincidental.

evadgib Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 This entire affair has been a bloody disgrace & is a great way to announce the start of the high season. "Day 1: No Power.

angryfarang Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Still no power in Hua Thanon. Came on around 8pm last night then off again 2 hours later... DTAC has only just started working here after being off all night... It's interesting that the power problem started when they were making an "upgrade" to the system yesterday... Somebody messed up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
