Jdietz Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 1 Unit is 1 kWh. Government rate is ~4THB per unit. Everything over that goes straight to the landlord (which isn't too bad if you have public elevators etc., but THB 8 / Unit is taking the piss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The normal PEA/MEA consumption rate is around 4 baht/kwh. It does not matter what size meter you have, 5/15, 15/45 or 30/100. In order to qualify for that rate your house has to be finished and a blue book issued. During the construction you can get a temporary meter but the rate is higher. I don't know what that rate is. If you are renting, the landlord is paying the 4 baht rate but can charge you whatever he/she wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
