Maybe you could get your Thai mrs to phone the city water office in Naklua, & ask them why they are cutting off our water & when it will be back to normal??..  

I don't have a Thai mrs. They were kind enough to put my monthly water bill in my letter box yesterday though. If the water stays off it'll end up costing me about 2000 a week.

I also got my water bill yesterday which i paid @ 7-11 this morning, i have already had 2 water trucks over the last 2 days as well, i'm sorry but i have no idea what the answer is, we & all the other residents Thai & Farang are in the same boat in this area i guess?


I was speaking to some freinds in Naklua this morning, there neighbour is the "Mayor of Pattaya", they were saying there water never gets cut of?!!

There were water trucks all over Cosy Beach today. Still no mains water going into the 3rd day.

I also live in the cozy beach area, city water was on overnight but they turned it of @ about 8am this morning while i was out for breakfast, the maid was watering the garden for 90 minutes not realizing & emptied the tank again. There building all these new condos up here, but there is NO water to fuel the current situation, let alone more high rise condos with 100's of rooms

The local infacstructure of this area cannot cope with all these new condo developments, but the planning office keep giving planning permits, the developers are only intrested in there own greed

We had no water coming in overnight. Our tank was almost empty and had to pay 250 again to have it filled.

What is this "current situation" you talk of. Do you have any idea of why we don't have water today? This has nothing to do with sudden condo development and the tourist numbers in the area are low right now.

I have no idea why we don't have city water today, as you say water trucks running about all over the place?

Maybe you could get your Thai mrs to phone the city water office in Naklua, & ask them why they are cutting off our water & when it will be back to normal??.. My Thai gf is working in Bkk & wont be here again until the weekend.

Maybe people watering their gardens for 90 minutes, presumably a few times a week, is part of the problem. Why not try Googling "xeriscaping."


How about the amount of water a 20 floor condo or hotel might use, i think that is somewhat more than i wil ever use?

window cleaner in thailand you might just as well get a monkey and train it to do the job.my mrs is the only one on our mooban that cleans em.last week we had 4people cutting the grass and tidying up the garden and watched my mrs cleaning the windows they had never seen this before.


My maid cleans the dowstairs windows inside & out, she also cleans the inside of the upstais windows, but i don't expect her to climb up a ladder & clean the outside of the upstairs windows.
I don't have a long ladder & personally i'm not into climbing ladders, bit scared of heights.

I would be willing to pay someone a 1000bht to do a decent job for me, as i say no reason why it couldn't be done in a couple of hours, but a long ladder would be needed.

My taps have been dry for 3 days now.

Is there a major water shortage at the moment, there seems to be loads of water trucks whizzing round town at the moment.

Anyone got a view of the reservoir to guage if there's a problem?
