are you the only one without electricity?

There's new moo baan in Baan Taling ngam, we have a transformer nearby the house, but the installation is new, although it was the nearby neighborhood that suffer the power cut.

Bill, we just moved in like a few day's ago, so a little too soon to get the bill, anyway, after many calls still nothing.

Up until this morning around 7Am, then there was shortly full power for a few seconds and then it was complete black out, so then I knew they actually just started to inspect the problem, and then took about 2 more hours, and the power was back on.

So I don't think there was anyone looking during the night as they were pretending.

I can liv with a daily power cut of about 1 or 2 hours, no problem at all, but hey 18 hours

That's pushing the limits don't you think...

Anyone else experiencing fluctuation again.

Baan Taling Ngam, again same story, no full power, only half of it...

I'm just down the road from you (Laem Sor) and okay here

Than it should come from here the problem, i'll talk to the Moo Baan builder, maybe he knows more about it.

Thx for the info

I've just been informed by someone there will be no power in certain areas of bophut from 9.00-13.00hrs this morning.

I can't guarantee this is correct but be prepared. It would hardly be unusual would it.

Power out in Plai Laem this morning - 8.30 to 12.30 for preventative maintenance (cutting down trees).

Glad to see it happening, but some warning would be nice.

Samui Times seem to have a connection to the PEA and list Power Cuts here - worth keeping an eye on!

Just found this but it was first posted on 2 July so there is advance warning if you know where to look it would seem.

Warning: My PC picked up a virus via that link a few days ago. Fortunately it was neutralized & safely removed before it could cause any problems.

Lost half power this morning 3 hours & now again. seems to be the same problem for the last year & they still can't fix it correctly.

If i hadn't read the topic i would have thought you were describing the aussie cricket team:lol:

3 times yesterday & now since 5.30 am.

Still fluctuating & intermittent power since 5.30 am.

This probably deserves a separate thread, but drivers are warned to take extreme care when approaching the traffic lights @ immigration from the direction of Naton. The lights from that direction are 'out' (not working), creating the illusion of a powercut. If you proceed to the point where you'd turn right (to Immigration/hospital) there's a chance that you'll be 'T-Boned' by someone on a Green light crossing the road from right to left in front of you, or by someone heading into Naton from Lamai who I suspect can see Green lights from that direction too.

Them there lights at Samui Immigration, turning, have not been working for months or even a year or more now~(actually April last year if memory serves... but memory is fading with age~sometimes!!!! )

Same with the lights at Soi 4 Maenam!!....

Understood Jimmy, but I didn't realise just how dangerous they were until today.

They've been back on for at least a month.

Back to the plot.

no power in my bit of Plai Laem from 4 pm to 10 pm.

Anyone else out for that time? (the reason that I ask is that I am told many problems all over the island???)

Power finally back at 8.30 pm last night, but sometime during the night lost a phase again.

With all the high winds lately, I have to say I am surprised more power has not been out... I assume the winds are island wide, and not just in Maenam area?

Oh!, so they have the Samui Immigration / Nathon Hospital lights on again, (re muimatt's comment) ... not been by there for a while, I take the back road into the hospital !

I prefer the "back roads" when possible !!

I think Plai Laem seems to have particular problems. Always seems to bare the brunt.

I think with all these problems the high winds are causing the electric the mayor should pass an emergency decree making it illegal to fart in Plai Laem untill further notice. We all have to do our bit.

Bit like a hose pipe ban for drought conditions in the UK

You guys seem to have loads of blackouts on Samui. Apart from the one that hit all of southern Thailand a while back, the only one I've had on KPG was last night, with torrential downpours and strong winds. Lasted about 2 hours or so. Greater demand on the grid on Samui or I'm just lucky? IDK.

I have just been told that they have equipment problems @ the distribution centre ( I thought that's what they said yesterday too ).Full power restored around 1 pm & pigs might fly.

Outage in Southern Chaweng this night until 10.00 AM

Power back at 11.30 .

Think it’s a fair assumption to say that my power is going to go off sometime soon (I’m fed off these same lines)...either when they turn the power off to fix this or when it all falls down and short-circuits

It’s been like this all day...now nearly 6pm...my guess is they’re waiting until it gets dark

You are on a private road by the looks of it.

No, that road is after my place...where the tree came down is a private road...power still on...any minute now I guess

Jimmy, why is there a statue of you just in front of the tree?

Don't know, you had better ask Neilly, it's his picture, near his street .... I am not the only photographer around here !
