Blackouts Again On Samui Starting Midnite Tuesday?

[thesweetsoul]

Looking to see if anyone has heard or can confirm if Samui will be doing rolling blackouts again for 3 days starting tonite (tuesday) at midnite.

Apparently a Thai dj announced it and some Locals discussing. Power company says no plans to do.

Anyone hear more news?

[thesweetsoul]

Only rumours according to Thai Hotel Association, as stated by Power Companies to the THA.

Only rumours. When & If cofirmed, check on Samui forum.

Depends on how many beers you drink and your ability to breakdown alcohol.

A 2 inch piece of string is exactly that.

If people only have 2 hours of power a day then it would be handy to have some idea when those 2 hours are.

There have been 3 orange trucks between Maenam and Bang Por sitting and waiting for the last few days.

Wow. You know this is going to last approx 4-5 days longer than any official will admit to.

Gutted.

So that make it 7-8 days, 3 plus the bonus days.

Well at least the weather is good, better to get it sorted out sooner rather than later.

If anybody can get hold of the schedule (where/when) please post.

My wifes friend just called the electric company, they are still saying there will be no black outs.

Getting all the LED emergency lights on charge just in case.

All power on KPG comes from Samui, so yes.

Good food in NST but this is more appealing IMHO
