2 Liter pitcher and a timer LOL. I love my shower - it's like a fire hydrant.

not a big enough volume over not enough period of time to be accurate.

I just checked my flow rate. 456L per hour at the bathroom faucet. 977L per hour at shower, 804L per hour at low shower faucet, 219L per hour at kitchen faucet.

 

That averages out at 614L per hour, so 1.5 hours of garden watering would use maybe 900L.

 

It's a condo. Maybe they've altered the meter, but it's OK, I can handle 450 to 700 baht per month.

How?

How many litres do you consume a week, do you actually know?

I use between 7-10,000 litres per week.

Just now, tropo said:

Maybe for you, but it's what I've been using for 3 years where I live. btw, I said that's a minimum - my lowest bill. Last month averaged 645L per day.

My water is free, i don't care how much i use.

There's no way you're going through that amount of water for only showers / flushing the toilet and laundry etc.

I live in a condo. When I heard how little people are using here I actually went to check my meter to see if there wasn't some leaching going on. There isn't. 

500 litres a day for 2 people is not right.

I have a well, water a massive garden for at least 1.5 hours a day and don't use 1000litres.

I would be having your meter calibrated, or check there are no leaches on it.

 

That's a lot of showers, flushes, laundry, and cups of tea, for 2 people. 

Totally agree.

I use between 15 and 20 m3 per month for 2 people, no garden, and I feel I'm taking it easy. That's a bare minimum of 500L per day.

500 litres per days is too much for 2 people.

What a better computer system to handle the problems that come with a global pandemic?

Were you prepared for it?

yes,i mean my wiring is a bit dodgy but i have never had this before.

Yeah likewise, dodgy wiring but same, never seen this, it's usually on or off, never flickers..

i have experienced the same, about 2 or 3 times in the last week.

Many of the things you mention would be a positive, but what about all the closed up buildings?  It certainly will not be as vibrant.  I will miss the variety of different cuisines available here.

 

You are right, one thing that will never happen is more respect from the locals.  ????

Closed up buildings, you know Thai people i'm sure someone would have money to 'wash' and come up with something.

Different cuisines may not have the volume but i'm sure the variety will still be there.

Who knows what the future holds, i live in another part of thailand but still own a condo there that i like to visit for a week or so every month....

1 minute ago, Leaver said:

That's possible, but for sure there will not be the variety and choice in bars, restaurants, nightclubs, gogo's, activities, transport, shopping etc that we had in the past.  Even if one was not into the nightlife here, what would be or could be better about that?

Less people / cleaner environment / safer environment / more respect from locals ( maybe? ), who knows what the future may bring but you certainly appear to be of the glass 1/2 full ilk?

It may never happen sunshine!

I suspect there will be many more condo's on the market in about 6 weeks time. 

 

Sit back and wait, and then take another look at it.

 

What's your motivation for wanting to buy in at this time?  Pattaya will be different when all this has finished.  It may never get back to what we have all become accustom to here. 

It may be better?

Yes, it can simply be viewed as a 1 year tourist visa. 

 

Someone on a 1 year retirement visa has no more rights here than someone on a 2 month tourist visa.

Not true, can stay 90 days ( with 60 day extension )

Or get a 1 year extension ( i think ).

What kind of moron packs up a young family, moves to a foreign county hoping for a dead end job, has no rainy day funds to protect his family and then cries “woe is me” when things predictably go to hell. No sympathy from me on this self induced misery but feel badly for the children of this irresponsible couple.

You'd be surprised by the amount of people that have no 'rainy day funds', for most normal working class people very unlikely.
