hard to know where as electricity is down for Bangla..

I will be drinking in P bar or Offshore bar on Nanai at various times during the day.. They are botth up and running and uneffected (expect for lack of stock.. Lots of normally beach customers back on Nanai)..

Dont know if I can get over to Samui tomorrow as planned..

We were just told that power in the lower part of Bangla, towards the beach will be off for at least 3 days. The upper part of Bangla has power already. This is due to the number of bodies which still have to be removed from the flooded below ground supermarkets and hotels along the beach road. It is all on the same power grid, so no power until all this is cleared.

Since hearing this is the reason for the delay in reconnecting the power, I have no problems with this. What a sad few days indeed.

Indeed.. I was told the grim news last night (just didnt think about it.. stupid really) that they recovered 24 bodies from the basement supermarket in Ocean.. Of course as the water came in and flooded them not a hope of getting out..
