I've just been informed that Electric in my area of Bang Por will be off from 8.30 am until 4 pm... on June 12th (Monday)

I am not  sure how wide an area it will cover...

Fairly rare event for electric to go off around here!

If you look at the time of the post above yours, it is in fact 1 hour before your comment. Yes, the thread started a long time ago, but still active and relevant.

 

Zombie lives matter!

Bangrak Planned Power Outage Thursday 15th June

We are told the power will be out 0900 - 1200.

We have received written notice of this - so it must be true!!!!

We are between the Ghost Road and Replay

Is there any way to find out when there are planned electric outages? Live in Bang Por and power out today with planned outage.

Parts of Maenam will be off 0830-1600hrs tomorrow enabling PEA to cut back the foliage according to a 'get the seat earlier' wagon this morning.

Fortunately one of my Thai neighbours came and told me after the truck had gone by the other day,  announcing the outrage today ..

I have a sneaking suspicion it maybe out tomorrow as well (?)... makes for a long day with no water or fan!

Perhaps get to know a few of your Thai neighbours, I find they are quiet helpful often times ... Very often the announcements are only in Thai with someone driving around in a pickup.

Thanks for the warning, fortunately we weren't cut off further up the Ghost Road.

 

Off this morning though for 2 - 3 hours from about 7am.

[TheLobster]

Off again 9pm

[phetphet]

Power off in Bangrak since about 16:00 ish.

[TheLobster]

Same here, twice yesterday the other one around 6pm

[TheLobster]

Again tonight. Anyone any suggestions what I should do? this is getting ridiculous. I'm seriously thinking of moving off the Island.

My lights flickered two seconds tonight, first time in six months now in south Chaweng, it's not an island wide problem.

I would agree with the above. 

 

Outside of maintenance days, my electricity is very good. I can't quite give it 100% reliability, but I can say 98% or 99% (Mae Nam).

 

Perhaps a new neighbourhood?

 

Cheers

Here in Bangrak, off Saturday night for several hours, Sunday night about three times, and again this morning since around 8am. It's still off now at 11am.

 

As you say, it's getting ridiculous.

[TheLobster]

Plus planned downtime, power off 8:30 - 4:30 today. I sincerely hope this was to fix the issues we are having but I'm not holding my breath.

I know people that have had serious problems in that area previously and yet I've never ever seen a single post reflecting those problems from you.

 

Do you by any chance have a business interest in the area?

[phetphet]

Heard a loud bang and power went off again ten mins ago here in Bangrak. Fan running slowly, so maybe lost a phase.

 

Went off last night also with the rain.

Same here last night but a storm so more likely. Came back on within a couple of hours which was a pleasant surprise 

[Schnitzel von Crumb]

We have a Brownout in Bangpor. Big appliances don't work but lights still on but dimmed.

Not even a flicker since the last scheduled time it was down a week or so ago....... so nothing to admit!

 

But there are different grids around ..one neighbour not so far away reckons they are on the Koh Phangan grid.... that is hard to figure!

 

We don't all live on the dark side.....

Lucky they not on the Koh Tao grid.....   (sorry, all the KT nonsense in this forum got my mind polluted)

Have been told by the most reliable local source I know, no not the PEA, the local laundry shop ! that there will be a planned power outage on Tuesday - Ghost Road near Bangrak.

[TheLobster]

Yep off 08:30, looks like it will be all day. Powercut for an hour overnight as well.
