I heard somewhere that a law had been passed to prohibit a landlord from profiting on adding a markup on utility prices. Does anyone know if that is correct and have a link to something to verify it? Or was the person that told me just passing on bar talk as fact...

Thailand has many good laws. But if nobody enforces them they are just useless phrases. It doesn't make much sense to inform the public of great laws if nothing changes. But somehow it could make sense if the people are questioning why they are not enforced. But I am only an expat. Up to the Thais. In the end I am only a tourist.

My gf lives in a shoebox local place but pays double the govt rate.

My condo is 76sqm and I'm paying govt rate = 4 baht/kWh. A friend of mine stays in a 37sqm condo and he also pays 4 baht/kWh.
