I do not like the idea of young Turks with no morals knowing what I am up to and stealing/owning my data. Anyway - the power is OK today. so far........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like someone forgot to tell EGAT Power has just gone out and it looks like the whole island from here (Plai Laem) but that could just be the rain!

notmyself Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Still sweet in Lamai.I can however hear a storm and it sounds like it getting closer.Had a PM from someone not far from you, .... P-ing down west of you, so on it's way... Coming down good in Maenam too, but no power problems tonight... Can't hear the thunder now so spared again by the looks of it. When I came to Samui in '99 I'd done a bit of research for a change and found the Lamai area within the confines of the hills which surround it had the lowest annual rainfall on the island. I don't know how large the data set was but it seems to me over the years that it's true. Not good if there is a heavy rain as the water rushes down toot sweet from the same hills which reeks havoc. After the floods island wide in 2011? there was quite a number of trucks here jetting out the klongs and that's done a fine job in Lamai. Not much building here really and given a few serious downpours since the floods I can see no reason why the water drainage system should be sufficient for another good 5 years, perhaps up to 10. Question is, will the system be maintained at all? Should be being done now I would have thought but what do I know. This is where much but not all of the corruption is going y'know. Even if, despite the odds, something was built to standard which is below the specifications given but still up to a good standard, not one single Baht will go toward its upkeep.

GuyF Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Baan Taling ngam, already 9 hours without power I really wonder what they would say if I would pay my bill the same way they deliver their electricity, only 50%! My wife has been calling over and over, in Samui no one seems to pick the phone, and when she call the main number, oh well, you could just say they don't even give a <deleted> about it... But in the meantime our fridge reaches almost room temperature, so I kinda start worrying about our food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lom Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Did you pay your electricity bill? They are very quick to disconnect your meter when the bill due date has passed and they haven't got any payment, 3-4 days and you are off the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
