PHOTO COMPILATION: Thai Rath

The Thai media are claiming there’s an electricity crisis on the holiday islands – Samui and Koh Phangan. Thai Rath reports that electricity authorities in the south of Thailand are residing to the recent articles and complaints. There have been so many power cuts recently that things are desperate, according to Thai Rath.

Authorities say that the problem lies in the undersea cables from Khanom on the mainland. But there was no explanation what the actual problem was and it remained a mystery.

Panumas Limsuwan was inspecting one of the sub-stations in Mae Nam yesterday trying to get to the root of the problem.
