thaigerd Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Received my monthly water bill last Saturday. To our big surprise it says(in Thai): The next 6 months water will be for free until January 2009! Any one else the same??? Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 There have been two or three posts on this tg. The government will be paying the bill to help the poorer folks due to the economic difficulties going on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgjackson69 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up...I will have to tell the wife to watch for this. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much water consumption will increase in the second half of this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Just got our water bill. Yes, says no charge for water next 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetchariot Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 you have saved 173 baht. big deal. why be so happy over that?wow, I know there are some cheapos about but that takes the mick. <deleted>?? Who was making a big deal about it? I think you will find that all the posters on here were expressing their surprise, and trying to obtain more info on the logic behind it. My bill is normally double that, so I probably won't get it for free next month, but I really couldn't give a sh1t either way, we were just having a discussion as to why. Having a bad day are we? I will be relaxing with a few free beers later whilst you stress yourself out about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibutty Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I got my water bill over 500 Baht still no charge. GF says its free until 80 units a month. Same goes for Electric Bill.
