Isaanbiker Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks for bringing this up and i hope that others can shed some light on it. Our landlord lives far away and it has to be the one who's mentioned on the electricity bill to claim any money. I've seen some other documents, but it was more about the meter installation fees. Please share your knowledge here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The letter seems to be about getting the meter deposit back...for a 5/15 AMP meter my wife says she will receive 300 baht. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted April 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2020 If the bill is in your name you have to register to claim repayment of the cost of deposit you paid on electric meter, circa 2K Baht, my wife has already applied,now have to wait. regards Worgeordie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from the home of CC Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) and if a few years down the road the meter is damaged or fails after you get your deposit back, you're on the hook plus you'll have to put another deposit on the replacement, no thanks I'll let em keep the 60 bucks..

It lead to overload at the PEA (MEA?) servers and we decided to drive to the office to pay the bill. So antiquated It took days for their IT to recover and seems still not 100% back to normal.

If you have a 5/15 amp meter and use less than 50 units of electricity per month then those units are free ( I'm not too sure but think must be below 50 for 3 months before it becomes free ? ) Edited April 1, 2020 by johng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend reclaimed our house deposit, which I asked her to do as it's about 6 times as high as any actual use, we could have half back. Well, it's anyway better only to have 3+ times monthly use in deposit, so C19 is after all good for something...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife went to the local PEA to get the deposit but was told they cannot do it, just do it online. But as you said about the IT, she could not register online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
