Report Thai Electricity Bills to Remain High Despite Lower Fuel Costs
Efficiency, it is called EFFICIENCY! If all these power generating institutions, private or governmental, would inch towards the 21st century, the generation costs would be substantially lower. See Makro having covered car parks and roofs with solar panels; a huge display behind the cashiers show in green the solar power and in orange the power they buy from third parties. In private households the calculation always goes off as the solar energy equipment is still too expensive. We went through this subject with a study and even wanted to participate in the government's programme whereby the EGAT, PEA, MEA and God only knows who else would buy kw/h from private panel operators. While this programme exists, the boys in Nong Khai were poking noses and "cannot" was the answer. A private user also cannot install a TOU meter, a digital measuring device which allows the separation of high and low tariff usage. While this is in place for decades in other places, here it does not work. Literally nobody looks at power consumption of white goods, be it fridges or - my favorite - rice cookers. Latter cooks rice with upto 800 watts. Decades ago they introduced those colourful stickers from A to E - red to green - on how power efficient a device is. Nobody today cares about that either. Unless there is a real motivation token for the consumer/user, they will not switch habits. Likewise some professionalism in the power generation of the 21st century might help the Thai producers; it is a joke if a country with 250+ sunshine days still heavily depends on thermo- and hydro-generated power.- 1

USA California Upheaval: Immigration Raids Trigger Chaos
To sum it up... Criminals avoiding the authorities are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. The criminals and the bleeding heart leftists who support them are annoyed. The End. -

Economy SCB Braces for Economic Storm, Plans Digital Expansion
No biggie with closing of bank branches. I rarely go to any branch and haven't used them for years. If I need to make an international transfer, it's easily done with the very convenient phone app. And I never carry cash, it's just not necessary to carry cash in Thailand. -

BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
I believe it's due to Bangkok Bank in particular being investigated for 'mule' accounts and money laundering accounts opened by these call centre scammers in Myanmar and Cambodia. The change is policy prevents new accounts being opened then closed within a set period. That makes sense, unfortunately this message has been misinterpreted and branches are applying the new requirement across the board to those with long-standing existing accounts. I also use a FTD account for Immigration purposes for the past 12 years, and recently applied for a new extension based on Thai spouse. When updating my passbook, requesting a 3-month statement and a letter, there was no mention of signing any other form. Maybe common sense prevailed, as in principle you've already agreed to keep the funds in the account for a fixed term.
