khunPer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm told that Samui Cable TV has announced (in Thai) a power cut in Maenam Area tomorrow Friday June 26th. No times given, so seems like it can be for whole day - reason gives is, that they shall cut trees disturbing the power distribution cables.

phetphet Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 18:50. Typical. Just settled down to watch the 2015 Silverstone Grand Prix, and the power goes out in Bangrak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfsailor Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 18:50. Typical. Just settled down to watch the 2015 Silverstone Grand Prix, and the power goes out in Bangrak. I feel you. I switched over to 3G to keep watching on BBC.co.uk but after 20 minutes the 3G tower switched to battery saving low speed. So that ended the live feed.

HTH Thanks for useful info, but »by tannoy waggon« – just wonder how many non British who understand that expression...? (I was exclusive Tannoy-agent for more than 15 years in my home country, so I know the story – and many more anecdotes about Tannoy) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one of these (didn't quite look as cool but had PEA on the side) driving down the ghost road this morning saying something about "Prung Nee bla bla bla in Thai, couldn't understand the rest" Has anyone heard if the electric is going to be off in Bangrak area tomorrow, Tuesday 29th Sept?

vinzsamui Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 yes indeed, from 8am to 4pm i guess. they will chop down trees on the ghost road apparently, so electric will be off.

Well it was good to know to turn off the computer before 8 am.... as it turned out it did not go off until until 8.25 And then it turned out it depended which side of the street one's house was.... Gai Pharmacy on Soi 4 was on all day, she said other side of the street was off.... I guess I live on the wrong side of the tracks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I only reached to read the Samui Forum this evening and that I've been without power all day. I'm really happy that some of the posters care to inform us, sincerely thanks to Evadgib, and I'm also really happy I didn't read it before, so I manage to avoid the power outrage. - Or maybe not so supernormal, perhaps I'm just on the same line as Gai - the transformer behind the Chinese temple - even I'm on the opposite side of the soi... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
