Can samui Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Went off yesterday and still off as of 0800 this morning. Have a couple of large rain pots plumbed in with a pump as emergency water but not sure how long that will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I know a few people in the north end that have had virtually no water too, for several weeks now .. a few days of good rain would be very good! I saw this the other day in the area of the reservoir, on the south end... I did not have time to check out the reservoir... so not sure how full/ empty that is... But this is one huge pipe... !

johnarno Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Plenty of water here in Pattaya, thunderstorm at the moment, soi's will soon be flooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Jimmy, I think that pipe is to be used to distribute water that is supposed to be piped in from the mainland. I kidd you not ? No idea when or if it will arrive on our shores. Meanwhile, the big reservoir near the tiger show is still pretty much full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did stick me as being a lot larger than the pipes they put around the island a few years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidream Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Remember Songkran when 10 days of water throwing in the Pattaya area wasted millions of litres of water and no one stopped the waste and no one cared. The price of vegetables are now skyrocketing due to drought and crops cannt be grown. Can't stop having 'fun' . Som Nam Na!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I moved from Plain Laem & Choeng Mon due to water lottery. Thankfully there has been no such problem in Maenam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Same thing in Pai up north.There's also a water shortage due to the drought. Hopefully it will be over once the rainy season begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
