Guest Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, seems to be island wide. Does anyone know how the island is divided to different electricity zones? I can see Koh Naka in front of my home, at least they have electricity there, but it might come from the generators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfsailor Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just heard reports that power plant in Khanom (NST) has an explosion, but at the same time rumours that something did boom in Songkhla and Trang as well!!! Weird stuff. Either domino effect of one plant failing, organised attack, or CME hitting earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
