As the sun rises over the stunning coastline of Phuket, a different kind of surge is about to sweep through the Bang Tao area—not of the tides, but of silence as the hum of electricity fades away. On Friday, July 4, hundreds of homes, hotels, and businesses are bracing themselves for a planned power outage, all in the name of progress. From 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the area will witness an unusual tranquility as the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) Thalang Branch rolls out high-voltage upgrades and sets up new poles along Srisoonthorn Road, carving a path towards the magnificent Surin Beach. This blackout represents a significant infrastructural facelift, affecting a strip starting from the Thalang Power Station 3, stretching all the way to Laem Singh Viewpoint. Nestled within this zone are Moo Baan 2, 3, and 5 in Cherng Talay, each preparing for a day off the grid. Soi…

A MOTHER has been slammed by trolls because she drives a Range Rover but lives in a council house.
The first-time mum, who posts online under the username ‘Life With RM’, has been accused of being “selfish” and “entitled”.
A mother has been accused of being “selfish” by trolls after admitting she lives in a council house, but drives a Range Rovertiktok/@life.with.rmBut the first-time mum was eager to clap back at haterstiktok/@life.with.rmShe shared a response to the “jealous” keyboard warriorstiktok/@life.with.rm
But the content creator, who is on a mission to increase her followers, isn’t bothered by what the haters say and believes that keyboard warriors are just “jealous”.
Posting on social media, the mother responded to a rude remark from a hater that read: “You have a council house and a Range Rover. Something is wrong here.”
But eager to clap back and set the record straight, the young woman mimed along to Billy Joel’s 1978 song ‘My Life’.
Looking at the camera, she carefreely sang: “I don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life.”
The mother then pointed to the comment, shook her head and wrote: “That sounds like a you problem mate.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @life.with.rm, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 21,700 views.
Not only this, but it’s also amassed 357 likes and 155 comments.
Big divide
But social media users were left totally divided by the woman’s clip – while some were eager to support her and questioned the unjust response from trolls, others didn’t agree and called her “selfish”.
One person said: “This is why council houses should be means tested, if you’re earning that much you don’t need a council house like those who don’t work or or a low income.”
Another added: “The fact is you wouldn’t be able to buy the Range Rover if you were renting on the open market.
“Social rent allows you to do this. After you earn a certain amount you should give the property back.”
A third commented: “This is exactly the entitled culture nowadays. Subsidised rent and keeping the true poor out.

“Selfish but to be honest I’d expect nothing less.”
But at the same time, one woman wrote: “Some people are so jealous, they lack common sense, live your life darling.”
The reality of living in a council house
LEANNE Hall, Digital Writer at Fabulous, has discussed what it was like growing up in a council house, and why those living in such properties are often judged...
When I was a child I grew up in a council house, and was blissfully unaware of the discrimination that came with that, until I became an adult. My younger years were spent running up and down the stairs of my flat, meeting with other friends who lived there and making the most of the communal garden. But now, it seems no matter your circumstance, everyone has something to say about why you shouldn’t be there. Living just outside of London like I did, rent prices are still high, and as my mum was at home raising three kids at the time, it wasn’t easy to find a job that fit around that. People in council houses are often labelled as ‘scroungers’ or ‘lazy’ but it’s nothing of the sort. Most families in council homes experience overcrowding, and let’s not even mention the horrendous amount of damp and mould that comes from living in old social housing that hasn’t had work done to them in 50 or so years. It’s not ideal for many, but it does provide a secure home without the fear your rent will shoot up every single year, which I would argue is vital to children growing up on the poverty line.
A second chimed in: “It’s just jealousy! You can have both! Enjoy it and shove your fingers up to the haters.”
Whilst someone else questioned: “What’s the problem with having a council house and the car you want?”
To this, the TikTok creator wrote back and alongside a crying emoji, replied: “Apparently we’re not allowed to.”

PRINCESS Andre quickly shut down suggestions she’s followed in her mum, Katie Price’s footsteps and had cosmetic enhacements.
Princess who just turned 18 this week, shared a series of selfies to Instagram and was quickly inundated with negative comments.

GettyHer mum, Katie Price, on the other hand has said she would never stop getting cosmetic surgery[/caption]
A person wrote in the comments section: “Oh noooooo the lips have been done.”
The teen replied: “No they haven’t? x”
Plenty of her other followers rushed in to defend Princess and told her she looked gorgeous.
“Actually they haven’t been touched with anything other than a lip liner and a good gloss!” wrote one person.
And another added: “Ignore it hunny. Some people have nothing better to be doing than putting comments like that up. Hope you had a lovely birthday.”
Princess is the daughter of singer Peter Andre and Katie Price, the latter of which has undergone countless procedures over the years including veneers, filler, Botox, BBL, facelifts and boob jobs.
But Princess has insisted she will stay natural, but did not judge anyone for the choices they made for their own body.
“I feel like everyone is entitled to do what they want to their body. But I personally don’t look at [cosmetic surgery] and think: ”Oh, yeah, I want to do that’,” she previously told The Sun.
“I think it’s important, especially for the younger generation on social media, to embrace natural beauty. My sisters are 10, and I want to set an example to them that they’re amazing how they are.”
Katie sparked an uproar when she posted a birthday tribute to Princess two days before her actual 18th on June 29 and then posted another tribute on the wrong date.
Getting her dates mixed up two days previously, Katie wished her daughter and “best friend” happy birthday before swiftly deleting the post.
