That's it I think.

Mine off again this morning, best I can gather from PEA manager, is its going to be about two more weeks.... before finishing stringing the lines and connection to the new sub station!

I am not going to hold my breath!

Two weeks of power cuts - oh joy coffee1.gif

Then we are into the April - no more gas. Deep joy.blink.png

Time to get your genset fired up thumbsup.gif

OK guys, this may be totally inaccurate, so apologies if it is, but heads up from my wife who tells me the electric will be off here (around Bangrak/Plai Laem) tomorrow , Saturday from 8 am 'till 4pm.

There was a government truck between Bophut and BangRak - announcing something. the announcment was too quiet for me to hear in my noisy old truck.

Just heard from my neighbour as well as the girl that runs the laundry - no power 8 - 4 Bophut, Plai Laem, BangRak and Choengmon (not sure about all of those places!)

Rumours really going around now - Sunday as well if they do not finish tomorrow!

Temp on my deck has just hit 40C the sun is on the thermometer now.

My wife was right! Off at 8.10.clap2.gif

Still just managed a shower and cup of tea anyway. smile.png

Electric back on earlier than promised at 1.30 pm, also internet working as well....bonussmile.png

I am not going to hold my breath!

New sub station? Is this the gigantic concrete building they put up last year near the police station?

Damn! ( - if it is).

I was hoping I could go there to pay late bills instead of Lipa Noi . . .

Of course your wife was right. Show me a wife that isn't always right!

Seriously - well done to Mrs Yorkie. Please keep us informed! (I have heard tomorrow as well???)

Good lord Robbie, blink.pngw00t.gif have you been sleeping these last couple of years?.... what did you think that building was, a new 7-11?tongue.png

Why do you think the are bring the underwater cable up the water end of your Soi? whistling.gifblink.pngbiggrin.png

Other than not being forgetful about paying your electric bills on time, why not go to the PEA office in Nathon, just beyond Immigration office? closer than Lipa Noi thumbsup.gifwink.png

Sorry guys, I thought the underwater cable (pipe) was to bring Tonic back to Samui.clap2.gifburp.gifdrunk.gifpartytime2.gif

and I only go cos my landlady has a habit of bringing my bill the day after it's non-7-11-able.

Same here. Given I'm disabled and don't have my own transport it really is an issue for me. If I'm lucky a friend will be heading over to Nathon during the following couple of days so they do it for me but if not I have contact a motor-taxi friend who only charges me 200 Baht for the job which is a good price. He workes evenings/ nights and sleeps all day (office opening hours) so I don't like asking him unless I have no choice.

There was quite a loud explosion down at Bangrak beach and at the same moment the power was gone....

Let's hope they will restore it soon

Oh joy.

A spot of rain this morning and BOOM. Power off in Plai Laem 8.40 am

Spot of rain?

There was flooding at Caltex, Chaweng same time.
