george Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 We get reports of fai dap (no electricity) in many areas of Hua Hin. Are you affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentfx Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've lived in Hua Hin for five years and have learned to accept the power failures (though not the truly horrible broken roads). We used to lose the lights more frequently, though just within the last week this whole area was blacked out for most of the night. What I find interesting is that the tourist area -- the center of town between Petchkasem Road and the sea -- never loses its power. When the electricity goes off I jump on the motorbike and roar off toward the beach and all those bright lights and Swedes and 200 baht beer place, where I enjoy a bottle of soda water and read my book.

darrendsd Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I have lived in 4 different houses in Hua Hin over the last 8 years and wouldn't say it was a major problem at all Sure it goes off now and again but usually back on within a hour Edited October 31, 2013 by darrendsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer666 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Our lights flickered a few times, but nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloggie Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Just part of life here, no problem as long as my beer stays cold in the fridge. When I look at TV I think a lot of people have bigger problems in life compared to a few minutes 'fai dap' in Hua Hin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 There were two outages in the Khao Tao area last month, one mid afternoon to early evening - about 3 hours - and the other early morning 3 am to around 7:15 am, The longest in eight years and seem to be associated with heavy rain.
