PEA improves power distribution system to Khao Lak

Phanumat Limsuwan, director of PEA Area 2 and overseeing the southern provinces, said the new distribution system would be ready for use on April 1, in time for the hottest month of the year when the power usage by hotels and resorts was expected to peak.
The improvement of power distribution to the popular tourist destination was carried out in response to a request by Thawat Niranathawarodom, the president of the Phang Nga Tourism Industrial Chamber.
In the request, Thawat said the destination had been suffering from power shortages and interruptions.
Thawat said the accommodation capacity in the area had expanded from 11,000 rooms to 13,000 rooms and hotels and resorts there often suffered power issues.
