We have experts working on it @bluejets but thanks for your valuable observation. I think soon we will have, I'll let you know. Thanks

Yes it seems there is the HV available. Incoming supply is along conduits on fences.

Hi guys, thanks for your advice. We calculated load by amps and would like to be able to run up to 400 amps at once minus a cushion for safety as needed. There is no motors unless you consider aircons as. Yes 300A without a new transformer + 100A line might be the solution to avoid the transformer. Still we would need to run some thick cables up the road, which can add up to a substantial cost I believe. We do have qualified engineers helping us with this but it's great to hear your ideas. I was unaware that PEA can supply that list of qualified contractors.

This is really bad!

We need a total amp draw of 400 for the project. What type of transformer do we need? I've heard the price is 1 million THB for a transformer but I would love to shoppe around!!!!

We were also quoted 40,000 THB to by a professional contractor to put together a design/quote and interface with PEA on it. Is that reasonable?

We are doing a project that needs at most 400 amps of electrical service infrastructure in Phuket. We were quoted 30,000 THB * 70 Meters = 2.1 million THB for a cable. And another approximately 1 million THB for a transformer. Of course the PEA did not itemize the quote. My questions: Do these numbers sound kind of wild and if so, what are the more reasonable costs? Who are the alternative installers/suppliers we can contact to get this done/supplied for a reasonable rate? Doesn't the government electrical authority need to cover the cost of offsite wiring? Would it make sense to instead have an affordable 300 amp service + LPG generator for spikes + backup power?

I have been looking at importing some high value quality planting nutrients for my garden. Most of the sellers do not send them directly to Thailand, so I contacted some freight forwarders at their suggestion, and they said that it's fine to send it to them for them to send it to Thailand. However upon researching it more I could see that importing of fertilizer really is supposed to have a department of agriculture license. Here is the question: do I risk it and try to send 25 pound bags through a shipping company or freight forwarder; or just return the bags to the shop and forget this whole idea?
