i got a copy of my landlords bill from PEA (was 17k) due to having a number of places but even that came with a 3% deduction. I guess if you can present the official amount then you know for sure and can let them know (that you're not the stupid farung they think you are) , and consider how the following could be relevant :

In the end I had a 900 baht discount. I think it’s less than others as I used over 800 units.

Paid mine via KBank phone app. As soon as I put bill number in, it automatically deducted the discount from the balance.
