redsongthaew Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 "The government has not come up with any assistance for the power tariff that rose from 4.00 to 4.72 baht per unit." That's an 18 per cent rise. When that rise is added to goods produced by factories, etc, then the cost of living faced by ordinary people is going to rise substantially. At the minute I don't see wages keeping pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the UK price for 15kg of propane - current price is £54 (2300Bt). Everything is relative. In Thailand a Man will earn 400 Baht a Day wages and pay 405 Baht for 15 Kg cooking Gas In the UK a man will earn 50 Quid a Day wages and pay 54 Quid for the same 15 Kg of cooking Gas. So ! you see, its still expensive for both people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporate energy revenues and profits should increase directly proportional to the price increases. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main Thai kitchen is outside at my place, and even then the bottle is on the other side of the wall. Most houses do that.... condos are not allowed to have gas bottles are they?
