The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) clarified that the power outage in the Saphan Kwai area on Tuesday was due to technical issues, not terrorism or cyber threats.

Saphan Kwai may not be one of Bangkok’s hip hangout areas, but many travellers do stop over here. Unlike its upmarket Ari neigbourhood, Saphan Kwai is known as a transit junction for both local and international travellers, a kind of gateway to the North and Northeastern regions of Thailand.
