Power Cut.

[Rooo]

In the house of Rooo ???

Geny.

[Mole]

Are anyone here able to tell if there's power around dao seafood market?

I'm at my office in IT Complex and it's all dark around here.

[depi]

Any info what is the problem and when it will be back? Im now at hotel office where have generators and internet near to chaweng lake, but all over is in dark.

[depi]

The worst is that our house's water depend also on electricity, so no water today too and also problem with dtac signal.

[Rooo]

The fair has a generators, can't even sleep with open windows.Beer time.

[Birdman]

I can see from far away bright lights on the coast of Menam. Like always if fai tub on Plai Laem, Bobhut.

Do they have the real thing or just generators or candle enthusiats, who make that only for Plai Laem folk's jealousy?

[angryfarang]

Just came back on in Hua Thanon. No electric for 12 hours.

[Steele404]

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

[angiud]

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.

[Mole]

The electricity is back on the other side of the road from IT Complex. So parts of samui got electricity already.

[livinthailandos]

im in bophut near go kart no electric here right now although today 1 side of the street had electric all day till 5:30pm but the other side still no electric since morning

earlier around 7pm came from chaweng cannot use dtac phone or internet but its ok here in bophut

Sent from my GT-I9300T using Thaivisa Connect App

[Tropicalevo]

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!

Generators - mostly hotels

[monkeycountry]

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]

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]

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.

[BigC]

Bohput on manam off

[BigC]

From now on I am going o be a doomsday preper life with no electric

[Chua]

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.

[Maipenrai007]

Bang Por now has electric, came on at 6am.

How is the rest of the Island now?

[everydaysthesame]

maenam (near Zazen) just came back around 6;20.

[LiudmilaBoikova]

Still no power in Santi Thani (Bang Por) but DTAC works this means the tower near the main road has got power at last.

[evadgib]

This entire affair has been a bloody disgrace & is a great way to announce the start of the high season.

"Day 1: No Power. Day 2: No Alcohol (Birthday) & you can look forward to more of the latter during the forthcoming election"

[Samuimike1]

Bad news, today 9:45 am power cut in Lipa Noi and ?

[John 1]

Still no power in Santi Thani (Bang Por) but DTAC works this means the tower near the main road has got power at last.

Dtac have there own back up when power is down.

[OKF]

no power in Bophud all night just maybe 2 hours from 10 to midnight or so...has anyone reliable information?

[khunPer]

Power off again 8.00am at Maenam - seems like to they ration the power.

[khunPer]

Still no power in Santi Thani (Bang Por) but DTAC works this means the tower near the main road has got power at last.

Dtac have there own back up when power is down.

Might be, DTAC has back-up power, but But DTAC was down yesterday afternoon and last night,- so was AIS.

[angryfarang]

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.

[Rooo]

Power on in Bophut for 2 hours last night, still out .TOT ok.
