August 16, 201114 yr Normally I just go to the 7/11 shop but on my way today i lost the bill. I have got last months bill and presume I can go to the water authority office and I can pay there. Does anyone know where it is? Last time I missed a payment I had someone come round to cut me off and I had to pay a B500 penalty even though the bill was only for B85.
August 16, 201114 yr I think the water authority office is up Soi Crocodile about 1-2km from Sukhumvit, it's on the right just before the railway line.......i think that's it? JH
August 16, 201114 yr correct... easier if you come via the road paralel to the railroad.. there is a water tower there (for reference).. best take a thai speaker to avoid confusion. Edited August 16, 201114 yr by William Osborne
August 16, 201114 yr When you get to the Water Company office ask for a form to take to your bank so that you pay by debit transfer every month. Good idea tp pay for electricity that way too. I returned from a couple of weeks up country to find that the electricity had been cut off. I rushed to the office in Naklua,. lied in my teeth about a new born baby and the need for electrical power for the air-con, lighting and cooking, and threatened to sue if their were any untoward consequences of their precipitant action. I paid the bill which was for a minuscule amount and the power was back on before I had returned home. I returned to the office the following day with flowers for the boss lady whom I had really revved up, and to make out a standing payment order. Since parking anywhere near the TOT offices is problematical, I drop them 1K baht and when they send me a bill that isn't for a zero amount, I repeat the exercise. So many other things to do than run around every month paying bills.
August 17, 201114 yr Wait until next month an you will get a new bill with the total for 2 months. Yeah, I know, but the Thais do it all the time and they never lose water service.
August 18, 201114 yr go sukumvit...on th way to bamglamung police head office.... Then the 1 soi before you enter the banglamung police station you can find the electric office on the left side.
August 18, 201114 yr Author Wait until next month an you will get a new bill with the total for 2 months. Yeah, I know, but the Thais do it all the time and they never lose water service. Don't know if they have a different rule for foreigners then but even if you miss a single payment the will come and cut you off. They definitely don't mess about or simply add it to the next bill. A colleague had is disconnected this month over a missed b85 bill. Oh btw thanks to everyone for the directions. I found it and paid them.
