Electric & Water Rates In Phuket, Per Unit How Much ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have been renting in Rawai for a couple years now,

My electric bill has been around 3.7bht per unit I think straight from the pole no other units or landlord involved.

Water here in this house is free.

Every low season I go around and look for better places (deals) to live as plenty of houses for rent now.

Saw one yesterday that I really liked BUT...

Agent said electric 7bht per unit...

Water 30 baht per unit..

I think shared between 4 small villa's, Mrs and I figure that would add at least 10k to monthly rent..

deal breaker for me, any of you out there have this same situation where you live?

What the going rate for water and electric per unit ?

cheers

I'm paying 7 bath/kWh and about 70 bath/m3 of water (delivered with a truck). Combined monthly bill is between 1000-2000 bath.

How did you calculate the 10.000B for electricity and water and what could you do to safe a bit of the usage side?

We now pay for electric no water bill,

BIG house between 3k-4k a month as we have OLD ac unit in master bedroom,

in use most of the time for use as my man cave,

We sometimes use extra fridgerator when needed for beer & grocery's etc.

I do follow the kids around the house turning off lights,tv and unplugging all unused chargers etc. ..

but they not understand why falong do like that they think i'm nuts....LOLcoffee1.gif

My landlord charges me 6 bht for electricity and 15 bht for water... just paid the rent and utilities today and the electric came to 1698.00 and 255 for water.

Household water consumption should be somewhere around 200L per day per person (actually a bit less, but let's be on safer side). If assumed that an household has 5 people, this would be 1m3 per day usage which equals 900 baht/month with 30 baht/m3. That should be possible when washing clothes only when the washer is full, stop etc.

Watering the garden and pool take their own shares. I have no idea how much.

I just love these unscrupulous chiselers that need to make a profit off every single thing. Why not charge a bit more monthly rent and then charge the tenants what the landlord pays for rent? Everyone saves face and landlord doesn't look like an opportunistic POS.

good post this is what got me thinking about this topic...

If electric cost 3.5bht a unit from electric company how do you pay the bill each month when landlord charges 7bht...

You pay the landlord not the electric company right? Bill is in landlords name?

he gets the small original bill...

you get the large inflated bill...hmmmm

do you ever get to see the original electric bill?

I'll bet they fudge the figures on that bill as well hmmm$$$$$$

no way jose...
