Instead of trying to scimp on electric bills, and some ridiculous posts, does a person really belong in Thailand that cannot afford a $50 electric bill?
You could live like some folks here in rural Isaan that have NO electric at all.
Yeh you heard that right and no running water.
You could take an Isaan shower by dumping recirculated rain water on yourself with a plastic bowl. (Bathroom shown in pic)
You could cook with fire as shown.
Pray you never have a medical emergency, if $50 is such a big deal.
I have no idea, no clue, no rationale why someone would move 1,000's of miles away from their own country and have to worry about $50?
