I guess Neilly not saying what the statue is about !!!

Soi 4 and 5 areas of Maenam had no electric for most of today, here's why!

Tree pruning, but still too many branches left amongst the wires

There's a few of them Jimmy...imitation terracotta warriors...don't look like you at all LOL

The tree is still suspended off the power lines by me...concrete posts are starting to lean at some funny angles now

Bangrak has been a nightmare since about 15.00 yesterday. Power on and off every few minutes, phases dropping etc and it has started again today. So much for them having solved the problem with the new transformer station in Meanam. Scheduled power cuts would be better than this. Total incompetents. What is worrying is that they probably think they are doing a good job.

plai laem soi 8 power cut since 13h45

Those underwater cables solved all our problems. You must be imagining things.

I was only imagining the other week what a huge percentage increase in cost compared my normal bill. Perhaps that was to pay for the work that was already paid for. Its definately strange to have scheduled eight hour power cuts and at the end of the month see a sizable increase in your bill. imagine that!

Power out from Nathon to Bophut as far as I've been told.

Here in bophut near race cart and bandara no power for 20 min now

No power on NW KPG. I'd need some for work so please Zeus or Thor or whoever, have it fixed...

Maenam area went down after a horrific burst of wind around 1.30 pm... now back on, at least at my place....

Lots for branches down, a few pieces of tin roofs scattered around too

All back about 3.15.

Bangrak back on but Plai Laem Soi 4 still off.

Soi mot yim chaweng and beyond power back in an hour so say the PEA who just called me back.

You've got the new 54 kilometer cable and a new substation in Maenam, but I bet the same crew is sitting in front of the master contrl panel switching the different areas on and off at will. They probably never got the "memo" to leave the switches on!

Power went totally off at 9.05 this morning, in parts of Maenam... most seem to come back on around noon...

Guys busy working on the lines ...

By all accounts the PEA has had an aweful lot of repair work to do over the past 48 hours due to fallen trees. Credit wheres credit due they've done well to keep the power cuts to a minimum.

Are you running a fever? Take 2 tablets & lay down.

Apologies Jimmy if i find it hard to post in generally positive terms with regards the Samui electric system.

Well - after yesterday's storm - no power from 6 - 10 pm last night. Candlelight dinner with wifey again. And thanks to the storm in the night time - only partial power during the night and this morning.

2 phases on low voltage. Almost burnt out my new water pump - managed to get to it in time. Seriously overheating. Just a warning to people. If you only have partial power - electrical equipment can burn out.

Power finally back on in Plai Laem 2 pm.

Of course - TOT is down now.

Sympathy pains.

Power is back on. Just a glitch.

We keep loosing a phase or 1/2 power to a phase on a regular basis. Today one phase right down, blaming it on power down to one of the HV lines in Chaweng being repaired, now 4+ hours, not back till later.

Power was out in parts of Maenam late this afternoon for about an hour and a half.... after a heavy down pour~ !

From what I know from staff fisherman village no electric

The power was out approx 7.15 to 9.15 pm in Bangrak and Plai Laem. Back on now

Seems like it's rolling around the island, that brings back memories!

Yes and if so what a stupid and thoughtless time to cut the power. Just when people are getting home, eating, showering etc etc. Perhaps they could apply some thought and common sense to their "rolling schedule"

Do you think those underwater cables are just phantoms because to be fair, were nearly one year on now and the electric system is still as <deleted> as it ever was?
