Total electricity blackout in siem reap

[Sandman77]

During my stay in siem reap this week, was a today blackout of the electricity!

Just was in a shopping center , klack and I stand in the darkness

God bless I always have my iPhone flashlight with me !

No counter was working no aircon in the room, it happens before noon, the hotel stuff was to stupid to bring some candles !

After I talk little bit Lauder from the 3rd floor someone was able to bring me light in to the darkness with a candle but still no aircon the shower was the only cool place I move out because canot breeze in room and see one hotel near my one that have a big diesel generator so I rent to hotels with my wife, and on the next day the electricity still not here a day on a swimming pool, but also in fact that no restaurant can cook is full menu from every corner I heard every secound and every step I walk do you need tuk tuk tuk tuk sir!

I begin to ignore them, and not recognize what the driver makes more aggressive !

Then I got a deharrera infection with stomage problems include like all the time in cambodia loosing more then one liter water everyday I not eat in Khmer food restaurants , last time served me something look like dog bones instead of ordered chicken!

I eat in restaurants like every tourist prices like 40 dollar up , but I got more and more problems!

The hotel stuff told me, sorry problem in thailand light is broken generator at boarder , now I knot Siem reap not have his own backup system of generator!

Btw the arms also not working but I withdrawl before, I move out because light not come back , this never happens before after 4 time cambo visit, I happy to come back to the land of smile the light comes back the aircon was working, and nobody ask me you want tuk tuk tuk , now I have silence coming across the boarder in osmach the van transport driver told me you must pay 50 Bhat for your big bag , others not pay in the bus only me , but I was happy the light comes back,!

There are, perhaps, 3 restaurants in town where you could spend $40+ on a meal. None of them are the kind of place where you get food poisoning. In fact, to date in Cambodia - I've never had food poisoning; something I can't say for China or Thailand. I've been here 3 years too.

The power cuts were caused by a driver bringing down the electricity cabling as it comes into town - this happens every 3 years or so. On the bright side; it was fixed quickly this time. Last time round it took 5 ****ing days.

ATMs have never failed to work for me in 3 years.

It sounds like your tale of woe occured mainly in your head to me.

If you want miserable food go in that street of Seam reap guesthouse and eat in the Khmer kitchen , everywhere flys no protection on food fish in black thick souce, a coleauge eat salad with a egg last year with salmonella bacteria in it then he got a black out in the hotel room later!

Restaurant was the nest have 2 order 2 menus and one salad because size was very small with drinks I pay 40 us!

And the driver must now maybe pay the coast of the blackout ?

I stay in this city now 2 month in my life , everything I report here is real, because I see it with my own eyes and not fiction !
