I've heard the elec cost has recently gone up by 12 baht per unit? Seems a lot and my bill this month was higher than normal. May have to turn the heating down ...

It's actually the FT (fuel tax) that has increased from -.3329 to -.2477. No other changes AFAIK.
[That's an increase overall of around 8.5 Satang per unit]

Sounds like the usual Thai smoke and mirrors malarkey. Must stop listening to my teerak. Stop press, did that 8 years ago

Mine went up from Bht 1,525.00 to Bht 1,680.00 due to the increase in fuel tax plus I drifted into the 400+ units category (aircon no doubt).

Cheapy Charlies - 4,800 baht last month but we do enjoy our aircon 24/7!
Not as bad as it sounds as I reckon the baseline for a family of 4, including 3 pui yings, is the best part of 2,750 baht/month without aircon. Hot water showers twice a day and washing machine every 2 days certainly adds to the bill. And the frequent use of the electric kettle for a cuppa tea must also be considered.
Maybe Yorky doesn't drink too much tea.

None whatsoever. One mug of coffee first thing (06:00) and maybe another later. I also try to boil only enough water for one mug at a time.

The most expensive appliance in the house for power usage is the electric kettle. I could never get it through my stupid ex wife's head in NZ that only boil what is needed.

Just looking at them does nothing to cool you down. My bill too was down last month - 4,300 (ish) baht - sure sign that winter is on the way!
