How much can I expect to pay for electricity and water in a small condo in Thailand, particularly when using air conditioning?

@David ******
 Yes important point from Russell, some condos set their own rates for electric and water and it can be very expensive. You want somewhere with it's own meter, charged at the power supplier's standard rates

We run 1 AC about 8 hours, 1 fan 16 hours and 1 fan 8 hours. We cook with electric most days. Electric is about 1,000 most months, but can range from 850 to 1,400 in the hottest months

Is the 7000 baht fee standard for opening bank accounts in Thailand, or specific to Bangkok Bank?
Tim *********
no bank charges that fee. Some agents charge that fee. Most agents open accounts for clients at Bangkok Bank, but I can only speculate on the reasons 🫢

 Visa holders get fined if the host fails to complete TM30. You can ask Immigration Office.

 Plonker comes to mind. And a rude one at that. So rude, I wonder if you're suited to living in Thailand. I sincerely hope you learn both patience and humility quickly, because you're not showing enough of either so far
