Bit hard to follow the wiring on the photo. So something to try. First go have a look at your meter and should see something spinning/moving.
Switch off your main incomer circuit breaker at your switchboard, then check the meter. If meter is still spinning/moving you have a freeloader between the meter and your switchboard. If this is the case it is something you can report to the supplier and they should understand if told in Thai.
Cheers
If you have a water pump make sure you shut that breaker off too...if the pump is losing prime it can run longer and it will show on your bill but be a hidden source of electrical draw that might be unheard/not noticed.....
Okay, but we don't have a water pump. However, the 2 air cons and the hot water heater have large black switches.
Could they be on different breakers?

Here is a more obvious example of theft. Follow your meter's output wires up and if those added lines are connected to that run going to your house, someone is tapping in. Theft like this is quite common. In our case, it was a nice and very poor hill tribe family and they only used it for lights so very minimal. When another neighbor did the same thing to start welding a new roof, we called the power company and they put a quick end to that.
When we first moved in, there was a non-working street light connected in the same manner as the above.

"give it a whirl", "see if the meter is spinning",
The freudian slip is maybe an omen.

If you have a total of 4 wires attached to the meter it is single phase, if 8 wires it is 3 phase.
Do not think any problem with the bill it is printed on the spot by the MEA reader from the actual reading on a hand held unit. Price per unit seems ok. (Ft is a fuel tariff add on and was 0.69/unit last month.
For a single phase meter the left two wires are usually the input from the power lines and the right two normally go off to your house. Nothing extra should be connected to the wires going to your property. Cannot see enough from your photo.
Suggest at night turn off your main breaker in the house and go and check your meter, if it is still turning then there is a 'leakage'. If not still does not prove that electricity is not being purloined as may be only intermittent load.
Yeah, the unit charge is just a bit over 3 baht, so that's the norm from the government.
I'll check out the wires tomorrow, when I flick off the breaker and check if the wheel is still turning, though from recollection there were only 2 in and 2 out.

Thanks, that sounds logical. Tomorrow, I'll give it a whirl and then post an update.

Seems a little high for that sort of usage, we tend to be about 1,000 a month, that's for two people home all day, PC, flat screen, fans, hot water etc., can be 1,500 if we run the aircon in the hot season.
Exactly, I may have to send an email to the MEA.

If that pole is before your meter, then if they are syphoning off, then it wouldn't effect your usage.
(I doubt you would have 3 phase into your place)
What is your usage, what gear do you run and what price per unit / KWH do you pay?
The meter is at the bottom of the pole, however the both the cable entering and leaving the meter go back up towards the top of the pole.
The bill is 1755 baht for the last period at 395 units used. It's only one of the small printout types and I can't seem to locate the actual unit rate- says something about an FT of 0.6900 (I don't know what that means). We are only home at nights and the weekend. Just use the usual, I guess - iron, fans, lights, hot water shower, TVs, PC, gas is used for cooking and there's no usage of the ACs. The bill is from the MEA, not EGAT, as I initially thought.
How can I tell if we have a 3-phase input as opposed to the regular?

For the last 6 months or more, the electricity bill has consistently been quite high.
It crossed my mind that we could be the victim of a electricity theft. So, I took a look around the electric meter and nothing seems out of place there. However, when I took a look at where the 2 cables leave the power pole and enter our property, I noticed some unusual looking wires. I've attached a pic and drawn around both sets of suspicious looking wires..
If this is electricity theft, could it possibly be affecting our usage? If I can locate a telephone number and report this to EGAT, do you think, in your experience, that they would respond positively, if at all? -

As it was mentioned, the phone is pretty new so there may be no workable root that covers all the variations (if there's many) yet. It's the same with pretty much any new model so you need to sit tight and wait until more rooting methods appear. It's also wrong to think that if folks on XDA don't have a very good luck rooting this phone, that some guy in the Pantip basement will be able to root it.
If there are a few root methods on XDA and if you have an XDA account, take your issues over there, you'd more likely get some useful help on that forum than here.
Actually I already have joined XDA and a poster has guaranteed me that the main root works, so I can only assume it must be something that I'm doing wrong in the application of the root method.
That's why I'd like a shop to give rooting my phone a fly. Maybe they can get it to stick.

Reminds me of he young Thai in Oz who went to town on the 69-year old in the holding cell,
"On the trial's opening day on Friday, the jury in the NSW Supreme Court saw footage of Kaewklom in a white, hooded jumper pacing back and forth before throwing his cellmate to the ground and stomping and kicking him in the head about 20 times.
"The last action ... was to then step back and forcefully kick the deceased's head area as if his head was a soccer ball,'' crown prosecutor Gina O'Rourke told the jury on Friday.
McGregor died at Liverpool Hospital 10 days after the February 25 attack, when his life support was switched off.
The 69-year-old had been taken into custody the day before, after breaching his bail conditions."

The Opp had trouble being clear about anything, so it would be best to forget about the whole thread.

I like 7's toasted sandwiches - chicken pizza or ham and cheese. They're convenient and cheaply priced at 25 baht each, especially living in an area where not too many shops or restaurants make them.

555, thanks for looking, but ALL of those 4 root methods are exactly the same as the previous one you pasted.

how about this one :http://forum.droidsans.com/view/778095 ?
I must have tried that one at least a dozen times. When the system update starts the phone diplays 'error' and after rebooting it displays 'system upadte failed'.

I was led to believe that TV now had its own.

I'm in the same boat. Bought a Zenfone 4 a few days ago and still trying to root it. Apparently Asus has done a great job of locking it down.
I'm starting to think that the roots on the net, for this phone, are a just some kind of advertising ploy or practical jokes, as only a small percentage of the replies confirm that the 2 roots actually work. There's even a code to enter after the demo mode root doesn't work and it hijacks your phone.
If you manage to find a solution, let me know.

Your biggest mistake is to think Somchai here has more knowledge than the people in XDA.
Perhaps in Vietnam you can find some Android masters but Thailand is not the place.
Check vietnam custom roms in needrom.com, there are so many.
Maybe the experts, at the mobile shop can get the XDA roots working, for me.
