People calling the electric expensive in Thailand 🤣🤣, when was the last time you paid a bill in Europe, esp. UK. Consider your ac as you would a heater in Europe, most 3 bed households in UK are paying 9000bt per month all year round for heating and electricity. You get a bill for 2000bt for electricity and COOLING, and say its expensive 🤦.

...and if you're sitting at home sweating like a catholic priest on a rape charge, instead of switching on the AC, you may want to reconsider your living arrangements.

Another tip, set your AC to 28c and leave it there and leave it on the entire time you are home, it switches itself on and off (its clever like that), while it's off the fan continues to blow the remaining cold air over you with its built in 60-100w fan, yes just like that stupid thing in the corner you leave on all night 🤦. 28c is a perfect temperature for making easy to leave the home, if you set it at 21 then walk out into 34c, the heat will hit you, whereas 28 to 34 is far less of a shock to your system

@Jasmine *********

even after 2 messages you are not clear, and you're opening a whole can of BS from these messages, by "then delivers it to me" does that mean she actually hands you the government bill? Or does she make up a bill on paper based on your usage?

Remember peeps she lives on an island, islands generally have more expensive electric, so most are talking through their asses

Kasikorn are still opening new accounts on a 3 month non-O, Opened mine in April, absolutely no issues, and they're all very professional and helpful at branch

Cos sometimes u b saying it wrong, add to that your accents 🤣

@George ******

it's been 800k since i moved here 23yrs ago, and just prior to that the retirement age was 55, they lowered it around 2000.

The crazy thing about the 800k is that it gotta stay above that level for 5months, but y was that rule introduced, because of corrupt officials and agents doing cash bribes, so all the people who promote "USE AN AGENT" when its unnecessary, remember it's that bs system that now makes the requirements harder, if it weren't for dodgy law breakers and dodgy dealings, it would still be 800k in a bank account on day of application. FOOK AGENTS

Kasikorn are still opening, i did it 2nd April with just blue book and chanod, letters from immigration are now equal to toilet paper cos of agents and immigration doing backhanders. Yellow books seem to require an already extended visa and 6months at the address b4 they issue them

Yes so in theory you can come in on the last day of your visa and will receive a 60 day stamp, so in theory you can still be here in November

@Stevie *******

yeah it's u who is the clown mate, hence 60% of yanks saw the greater good. He's not there to favour expats, he's there to favour those that live in America, this will bring back jobs to the US, its called protecting American people, a bit like Thailand does for its people. I'm all for protectionism, even tho it makes it hard for me as a foreigner in Thailand 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@Paul *****

when ur transferring 1000s of them, its hardly a bag of peanuts you are gaining, ive basically just paid for all my new appliances with the money I've gained

Yes i was constantly locking in on wise, then if as it did go higher I'd cancel and lock in at new rate, i got it peaked at 45.22 last night, it's made me a few thousand ££££.

The chaos in Bangkok with damaged buildings under scrutiny and the Trump tariffs have been the driving factors I think
