Apartments in pattaya or bangkok with government rate for electricity (about 4 baht per unit)

[Everyman]

I’m casually shopping for an apartment and would like to know of places in Pattaya or Bangkok that charge the government rate for electric instead of 8+ like i’ve seen. 

 

thank you

Condos will charge govt rate, apartments 8-10 baht

OP, not clear if you are looking to buy or rent. If you buy a condo, its the government rate, your meter, your account direct with the electricity supplier.

If you rent its up to the landlord. Most condos (individually owned) the bill will turn up in your mailbox and you pay the government rate.

Its usually only apartment buildings, hotels etc, where an owner owns the whole building where they add on top for the electricity bill.

 

Most places are Condos nowadays, once you move away from apartment blocks, guest hoses etc, the bill goes to you, not via a landlord. Just remember to check and ask when you are viewing.

I've never seen an apartment charging the government rate.i

I guess you are looking for a condo, not an apartment, at a condo you usally pay the bill directly to the supplier (MEA/PEA) and thus it's the government rate.

Since I’ve posted I’ve found that hongpak.in.th lists the electricity rate. Plenty of places charge 5 baht per unit. This place is too basic for me but it charges 5 baht per unit, for example. https://www.hongpak.in.th/rooms/25820-หอพักสินทวี-นครชัย?rf=hp
