What area, part of Thailand, experiences as many electric-power outages as you have described?
I have never heard of such a thing, except maybe high up in the mountain villages, where you cannot even get to during the Raining Season without a very capable 4-wheel drive.
What area in Thailand has this level of electrical supply reliability challenge?
Let us just say it is way North of Bangkok. Two years ago the power was off from 7 am until 8 pm for "preventative maintenance" to improve the system so it did not go out during thunderstorms. Four days later we had a storm.....guess what happened.......When enquiries were made the fault was in another part not upgraded..... total bull. The only improvement is that apart from when the drunks take out the poles it is normally re connected within 2 hours of calling them. Last month, they came out, fixed it, and it lasted 15 minutes before we had to call them again. It is just a part of life here I have got used to.

Where is your area?
Thailand, or other?
Thailand,

All well and good IF you have the power in the first place. It is quite common in our area for the power to go off at the slightest provocation, a bird perching on the wire, a spattering of raindrops, a snake in the works, or a drunk Somchai taking out a power pole at 8 at night.
Last night the power went off at 10 minutes to nine, and came back on at exactly 6 this morning.
I, like most everyone else am looking forward to the rains, but that is tinged with the certainty that the power will be off daily.

raising concerns about the preservation of the area's natural landscape and the safety of beachgoers and property.
Now THAT is funny. The Average Thai could not give a rats a** about the natural landscape as long as it is good for a few Baht earnings.

There should be no government support for BEVs, charging stations, end of life of real cars, etc.
If people want to buy EVs, ok, let them buy them. And if people choose real cars, that is also fine. Up to each individual.
Greata can walk.
Agreed, nothing to do with climate control, I still believe it is all part of the future control. 15 minute cities, CBDC, etc. People may tell me to adjust the tin hat, but you only have to look towards the banks to see what is happening.

and unreasonable expectations regarding treatment.
I expect, once they find out they are being shafted on the medical bills. all backed by the racist dinosaurs in charge of the government, or legal gouging may be the saying, they demand a higher level of service. Just a thought. on the other hand it could be that most of them are loud ignorant a holes with a bigger ME,ME attitude than any high -so in a fortuner.

More likely left the Kingdom to prevent any nasty accidents happening......like slipping on a banana skin, and accidently impaling Himself on several knifes sticking out of the ground.

Exactly what my Wife says all the time when I mention the Army before being in power, yet having no clue what they were doing, except She says they have the most guns. Also the ruling elite that, quote, "Have money, so can do what they want".

The DDPM has been proactive in trying to reduce the number of road accidents during this period. Their initiatives include setting up road safety checkpoints,
Where we are the road safety checkpoints are a bigger hazard than not having them. Always set up just after a bend, or where the road already narrows. A line of cones in the road, absolutely no prior warning, and a bunch of mindless morons sitting around playing with their mobile phones while motorbikes stream past on the wrong side of the road, no helmets, no number plates, three on a bike. It is a pathetic sham by the people in power to try to show that they care, which they do not. DDPM.......What a fiasco.

If not, why do they assume that people will stop drinking alcohol if there is no marketing? The fact alcohol is on sale is incentive enough to drink. Shouldn't the anti-alcohol brigade focus instead on education and strict laws on underage drinking?
In the many years I worked in Saudi Alcohol was available if you knew how. I even had a Bedouin colleague who took me into the desert and showed me the cairns of stones, under which was the fermenting fruits in large jugs. Blew your head off.

I totally agree with bradiston,look at the houses and cars he's got on a policeman's salary. This is the man that stopped the annual income letter from consulates to support retirement visas thus making life more difficult for many law abiding retirees.
He also was quoted as saying in about 2017 that He believed the 800,000 or 65,000 per month income was too low. He also, in 2018 was involved in the instigation of the money in the bank rule of two months before, and three months after, and not to fall below 400,000 at any time.

His reputation as a crime fighter is hogwash, and just great PR on his part.
He is guilty by association. Anyone in that position has to be corrupt. The RTP is the greatest pyramid scheme in Thailand.
Where is he hiding the billions of baht?
Many people on here seem to have short memories. However, I agree with you that He is a xenophobic racist in the same mould as A-nut-in. I still remember his rhetoric about unruly Farangs, and tarring everyone with the same brush. His whistle stop tours of Thailand's provinces rocking the boat in the name of protecting Thailand. His famous rant that there are now no more overstayers in the Kingdom thanks to his efforts, yet we still see people arrested for years, and years of overstay. I believe it was all smoke and mirrors to divert attention. As you rightly say, to get anywhere in the RTP you have to be corrupt, that is just the way it is, and always will be.

Sitting in the kitchen watching YouTube on the PC , it starts raining ,well drizzle really ,then a gust of wind blows through the window ,then a Bang ! off in distance , Electric goes off,
it's not thunder I know that sound well now ,it's a transformer blowing up , well I don't actually know if the transformer blows or if they have fuses, but it's a big bang.
It's only rained 2 times this year and been windy and both times a Transformer has blown , electric off , so it's not looking good for the rainy season ,when it starts ,
It's not as though I am out of the way ,it's a Moo Bahn , and if I could stand on my roof ,two story ,I could see the Electrical plant ,maybe 3 Kilo away , so am I living in a twilight zone ,where everytime the wind blows and it rains the electric goes off, or is there anyone else that has the same problems ? over an hour later it has come back on.
The problem is just not mine, there's a wet market ,many other shops , a Tops but I see they have a big generator and it's been going on for years.
Thailand wants to be the Hub of everything ,buy Subs,Fighter jets, Space ,give everybody 10K,would be better spent on the Hub of reliable Utilities , then there's the water supply .........maybe for another time
regards worgeordie
Like you, I am waiting for the rains, and will guarantee the power will go out. About two years ago they cut the power from 7 am until about 8 pm. When I asked why, they said they were upgrading the system so that the power was not interrupted when it rained. No points for guessing what happened about four days later, when we had a thunderstorm.......no power for 4 hours. When I asked why I was told it was another part that had not been upgraded. Snakes, are a common problem, yet when I suggest the wire rat cones on the poles I am met with blank stares. Our biggest culprit though are the drunk drivers hitting the power poles, normally one a week, depending on how many weddings or funerals there are.

Good they got this piece of scum off the streets, however, what a shame they do not address the same problem with their own Nationals with the same zeal, and news exposure.
