electric bill

Ahh...the gyst of it mate.

Yorky , how many human warm bodies reside full-time under your roof ?
You + ( how many ?)* :rolleyes:

* If more than you and your Mrs please provide their gender, age, highest degree or education obtained and whether employed full-time or not. ;)

Ha! Ha! I did better than you. Mine was 4009.01 baht. If I didn't know better I would have said Yorky hails from Scotland. I reckon he has hot wired his electricty supply to his neighbour's house and only uses his metered supply for cooling down his beer. Maybe Slumdog72 has had something to do with it. :mad::mad::mad:

There is a reason why Yorky is protective of the outside power plug that he disconnects when he is way. Because he runs a lead to his neighbors outside plug when he is away. It would be defeating the purpose if it is done back to you now.

I have previously posted an image of my next door (right) and you can probably assume that they do not have an electric supply any more. My next door (left) is a field and has been since I built in 2000. My next door left opposite is here:

and they have not had electric for some four years now.

To run a lead to my neighbour's (if I had any) outside plug when I am away would be somewhat silly as I only would then have the fridge/freezer operating. It would be financially more advantageous to run a lead to my neighbour's (if I had any) outside plug when I am home and have the aircon switched on.

How do you do it? Padlocks on every switch and socket? :)

Mine arrived today too. All 3940.60 Bht of it, and it's the lowest in 3 years at this house!

sounds like plenty air con during all 24 hours of the day,

mine are usually somewhere between 1000 and 1100,
2 people, 1 freedge/freezer, 1 freedge, TV on most of the day (unfortunately), computer a couple of hours, lights when dark, lots of fans though - day and night

Well that should explain to those that have more than two residing under the same roof as to why their electric bills are significantly higher.

When I was single I ran two loads of wash a week.
Now a minimum of two loads is run daily seven days a week.

[How many times does a friggin' blanket have to be washed by the wee-mon folk weekly ? :dizzy: They even run their washed sneakers/ (trainers) in the washing machine on spin cycle to dry. Fark!]

Lights on in unoccupied rooms and television on 16 hours a day to keep the ghosts away. It could be the middle of the day with bright sunlight :sunglasses: and voilá - lights are on. :confused:

Yup, part of the good life in Isaan. Thankfully I don't wash my car twice a week like my neighbors...nor do I run water down the driveway every other day. What a fookin' waste of a precious resource (by supposedly intelligent people.)

Well "Coffee, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.":rolleyes:
"That's exactly right, dear." :kissingheart:
I changed my pin number.:p 555
 
Good air con today - no break in the electricity. Opened the windows and the icy blast from the north sent the temperatures rocking downwards. Soon reached zero degrees!
 
I’ve got free electric and water today. Trouble is I’m paying 600 baht for it 555

Don't I know it. The tribe was not happy whent I challenged their use of electricity. "Okay" I said, "You pay the electric bill and I will never say another word." My audacity got me sent to Coventry because of it.
