I do not really understand ;
it's their job to do that;
why need volunteers?
and come to advertise badly by giving almost nothing.

No, it's not.

 

They aren't the one you pay for electricity. 

PEA (or similar) retail the electricity they get from EGAT.

It's the same company ..

EGAT is the national one ( Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand )

 

while PEA is the official representative of this company in each province.

 

Provincial Electricity Authority 

 

and if anyone could explain to me why these acronyms are the abbreviation of English words when it seems to me that the national language of Thailand is Thai ...?

EGAT generates the electricity (or buys it somewhere), while PEA is the retail seller.

 

Try calling EGAT when you have a problem and see how that goes.
