Signboard on Thepprasit causes lights out in Pattaya

If, like most people in town, you were wondering just what happened on Saturday, March 31 to cause the lengthy power outage, we received the following explanation from Manoo Dulyanai, chief of the operations and maintenance section at the Provincial Electricity Authority in Banglamung district:

At approximately 2 p.m., during installation of a signboard above a village project sales office in Pattaya, in an area near the Grand Condo T junction on Thepprasit Road, strong winds caused the aluminum signboard to fall onto 115 KV high voltage power lines. This triggered a breaker switch at the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand South Pattaya Branch, and electricity was cut throughout Pattaya City and in some parts of Banglamung. The outage lasted nearly 6 hours.
