June 7, 20179 yr Does anyone have anyone have any idea why so many long power-cuts recently? Over the last few years only one or two - over the last two weeks, four!
June 7, 20179 yr We had a half hour cut here in Kata. Cable TV is still down. Cable company say they are working on cables downstream. TV will come back when electricity back on. Read something in local news about work on lines various places.
June 7, 20179 yr No essential industry in Phuket and the majority of the resorts and hotels have their own generators They do not seem to care if us ordinary people have power or not or how long there is no power supply They could always work on the main power lines between 1AM and 6AM if they wanted to like in developed countries, but its not going to happen anytime soon

Then no power for home lights, no cooling fan or AC. Also it's harder for the technicians to work in the dark, yes they have flood lights but it's not the same as day light.
June 7, 20179 yr Author My point was that long power cuts are more frequent recently. Over the last few years only a couple, but 4 in the last 2 weeks!

Do you live near Chalong as much work on power lines moving for new underpass. Couple of years ago when new lines being installed up Patak road we had all days cuts at least 1 day every week for many months.

Yes, I live on the Chalong 'side' of Rawai (edit - although not near Chalong Circle)- but the work has been going on for the last 2 years or so, why has it suddenly become an issue when it comes to power-cuts?

So do we, I estimate over the last 2 yrs we've probably had 20+ power cuts of the expected and unexpected type.
