simon43 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How enjoyable it is to sit at my hotel in the pineapple plantations, with darknest all around, save for the flicker of my solar lights and the fireflies. Beats sitting in an air-con ice-box..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLing Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm surprised how some people are surprised Several months ago we were told that due to maintenance, one of Thailands power plants will be Off-Line sometime in May or something like that. The problem was predictable, not unexpected at all. The government said there might be black-out's as Malaysia and Myanmar can only make up for a fraction of what would be needed. I believe Thai Visa mentioned about it too. So, no surprise. We had no power for about two hours in Koh Phangan but lucky for generator.We been warned about a couple of months ago, so we were prepared-ish. Next time, I'll ust need to make sure, I have petrol too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those warnings were related to a gas field in Myanmar shutting down for maintenance, and the worry what effect it may have on Thailand. And was in April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least that's what's been reported, even on Thai TV news stations. Nothing to do with that report of a few months back. No conspiracies to be had for the tin-hatters here, not that it would stop them anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Came back in southern Rawai at 11:00 - ish. Water wasn't on though. I suppose the water authority doesn't think to have backup diesel generators for the pumps? What a place. What a bunch of ****ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
