Some can do both and eat!!!

Some ptobably do not know and we certainly do not know how much yet but they will next month and a huge shock and excuse th pun but meant.

Lopburi3 Thanks and that was my take but we shall all see next month.

Yes the PM telling the very poor to turn to turn to Buddism to help with their bills???? No mention of the new tariffs anywhere??? So many will be struggling even more and some already hardly eat, let alone use electric for other things too and yes unless one is from a super rich family and yes us expats with our wonderful Thai families and yes having fixed incomes ie frozen state pensions, unless of course some cheating that living in the UK!!!

Someone has asked a friend of mine that he wanted to extend his tourist visa and obviously went to Immigration office and they asked him for proof of funds and as far as I know came in on a normal tourist visa. He is not married to a Thai and think no one can help him and obviously has no Thai bank account. Any advise appreciated.

Is Doofootball or anyone showing Premiership football 2022/23 and not these huge subscription sites. Thanks all

Yes KhunBenq and yes all units over 400 as 0.9 increase and yes even that can be quite a big rise and yes average over 700 units but could be much worse but those who are on fixed income as most Thais are and many ex-pats on frozen state pensions and the AC is turned on with the 2 Grandchildren.

oh ok no charges lol

AS many of you would be aware and earlier this month there was a general advert about the new prices. Not sure when this comes in to effect but believe August/September but quoting 18 per cent increase and the top tarifs up to 400 assuming domestic is going up to 4.7200 approx per unit and we can not assume but at present there are various levels of tariffs up to 400. We can not assume anything but would think the various tariffs will be the same. Not good news but many countries even worse but so many people on fixed income and also fixed frozen pensions and yes somehow have to cut down on A/c's which eat electricity. Not seen the tariff for the adjustment at the bottom of the bill and think fuel surcharge based on the units used.

Last year a kind very rich businessman bought the rights to show the whole season and was just wondering if anything in place for this year and doofootball.com or other sites. Ofcourse it is World Cup year and anyone know anything and thanks

Also distant cousins and lie through their teeth stating a loan was a gift and someone gave money back to another cousin or aunt

Yeah bragging and very rich

Own house, 2 grandchildren and Thai wife and getting throug easily 50k and this is withdrawing savings and in 5 years will have to exit on just over 40k a month. The little things soon add up though and it is very difficult and like many others have no family or property back in blighty.

Thanks so much sometimewoodworker Thanks for very informative post and yea lol figured this out eventually and managed to follow the various tariffs and we await the increase figures of ft in due course.

Crossy can understand the extra charge in my case 717 units used in June/ July 2022 at 0.2477. this can change up or down and appears this is going up in September?

Thanks so much sometimes woodworker Yes normally do not calculate my monthly bill but yes 3 ac's bump it up and yes today I asked pea on google and could work out the various tarifs to get my total usage amount and yes a sevice charge 38.22 and used 717 units up from June to July 16th and charged 717 at ft rate 0.2477 totalling 177.60 and not sure how they arrive at that figure apart from the total used and the rate. Cheers all for claiffication John West

Exactly my point frozen income but everyone just about snd the locals on fixed income too!!1

And many of us have no house or family in the UK

No everyone and including the foreigner trying as best they can their loved Thai families!!!

Yes, those not suffering but the majority are certainly struggling and many of course have wonderful Thai famillies and one other person who is married and always working. One can only do the best one can but sometimes they forget that so many on fixed income and wow how so the locals survive? A very good point about no property of family back in the UK and I know where I would prefer a no brainer and Thailand of course.

Dj 54 and others Yes families etc can be very confusing and it appears and wondered why could not find my answer but a bit surprised no relationship status with this but someone will prove me wrong. Thanks all

Yes, was wondering about younger sister married to our son in law and must be my niece and yeah known her for a while but knew her sister for several years.

Thanks it does but Thai families can be very complex but one can love ones own family and the other sides too and also friends who are regarded as brothers and sisters. Appreciate it

Thanks and indeed and yes one can love your own family and other families and well some extended ones never after cheating out of money but it happens everywhere!!!
