An update on the electricity situation on Koh Samui

The Facebook page of Nathon City just published this announcement regarding electricity management on the island;


The fourth underwater transmission line from mainland to Maenam has been finished for almost 40 km. from 54 km. in total, and will be tested on 27-28 Feb. After completed on March 13, electric transmission capacity to Samui and Phangan will be adequate for the next 10 years. 

The new transmission line from mainland to Phangan is now on the procurement process.


This will mean that the electricity building in Maenam near Angela's bakery will be in use at last! We'll see if it really will last for another 10 years, I'm a little skeptic about these kind of announcements by Thai official institutions, since unfortunately they are more often wrong then right in their announcements.

Don't forget to use my Camille's Samui hotel recommendation blog and my Camille's Thailand hotel recommendation blog for all your hotel bookings on Koh Samui and around Thailand. By doing so, you will support my blog. Thanks folks!
