There are a lot of people who wouldn’t mind paying just 6 Baht a untit. 5 & 6 Baht a unit is reminisce of the 1990’s whereas the norm toady is more around the 7 and 8 baht a pop.

This is where it pays to rent a condo if you use a lot of power. Almost all privately owned condos are billed straight from the national grid. I don’t think it’s much more than 1.5 to 2 baht a unit depending on the time of day, but don’t quote me on that.

I have a large AC unit in the lounge, and a small but adequate until in the bedroom. Last month I had the bedroom unit on all night every night, and my total elec bill didn’t top 850 Baht. PC on all day, TV sounding off in the background, fan on continuously, fridge, hot water and so on…. And to think I’m at home all day long tapping at the keyboard, you can see the savings of a condo.
