Give us more power
It has been raining in Cha-Am this morning and the weather is a bit cooler. Yet the week-end has been busy, so busy in fact that all the townhouses in my soi were occupied. Some of them are rented in the long term, but most of them are rented by weekenders. There is also a new guesthouse which has just opened near my soi, with more than 20 rooms, and they were all occupied too.
I would have rejoiced if I was in the tourism industry, but that’s not the case, and in my case I hate those week-ends, because all I get is power cuts! Most time it’s not real blackouts, but just a drop of voltage. Just enough to cut the Internet connection, switch off the neons and dimmer the lights. My computer stays on but I can’t use the speakers. The TV stays on too, which is a pity because if the TV was cut off you would see demonstrations in the streets that would make the PAD look like a small private party, and then something would really be done to solve the problem!
