Why do electrical appliances in Thailand frequently display energy efficiency stickers?

Energy efficiency stickers are placed on electrical appliances in Thailand, mainly to inform consumers about the product's energy consumption and efficiency. The prevalent sticker, known as "Label No. 5," indicates the appliance's energy performance, though many appliances feature the maximum rating, leading to questions about the rating's validity. The labeling is part of a broader regulatory framework in Thailand aimed at promoting energy savings and environmental responsibility. Many users also humorously note that people often leave these stickers on products as a way to maintain a 'new' appearance.
