With all the recent rain and the current cold spell, surely not much need for a/c I anticipate a lower bill when it comes in a few days

We used PEA for a few hours on one day this month during storm Noru and PEA gave me a ฿10 discount!
The only day we turned on PEA we got an 8 hour powercut!

Electricity charge to rise about 14%
The cost of electricity will rise about 14% to a minimum 5.37 baht per unit between January and April next year on rising fuel costs, the Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC) warned on Monday.
The ERC had three options - and the increment to 5.37 baht would cost consumers the least. The two other choices were 5.70 baht and 6.03 baht per kilowatt-hour
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand is subsidising the power charge. At the 5.37-baht rate, Egat would have 122.25 billion baht in losses by the end of April.
The 5.70 baht and 6.03 baht rates would leave Egat with a deficit of 101.88 billion baht and 81.50 billion baht respectively.

Currently (November 2022) the rates are ฿4.1827; ฿5.1561 and ฿5.3566 including the Ft rate. The lower rate is for 0 - 150 units/month and the others 151 - 400 and > 400 units/month.
Which of these rates will increase to ฿5.37 is not clear. If it is the lowest rate (minimum) then the increase will be double the 14% quoted (28%). Where the post got it's present rate of ฿4.72/unit, God knows.
Pun not intended.

No. I have one as well, but have never noticed it before!!! The '7' key on my laptop keyboard works in lower case, while '&' works in upper case. If I select Thai as the keyboard language instead of UK English, and then press the same 7 key, the baht symbol appears when the upper case key is pressed: ฿
Pressing the lower case key instead produces a Thai vowel
called 'sara uh' which always attaches itself above the previous character typed in English or in Thai (shown here above the consonant gor gai )
Or, it might be simpler just to stay with the English keyboard, and hold down the Alt Key and type 3647. When you lift the Alt Key, ฿ appears.
If your baht shortcut works on your '7' key Yorky, tell us how, please!

I have one too, but it took a while to find out how to use it.

Change the language to Thai, then press <shift> 7 then change the language back to English.
For me I find it easier to press this key:
to change to Thai and back to English.

My laptop is currently set on "US Keyboard" (I know not why) but if I "install ๊UK Keyboard" the
key still toggles between Thai and English. It actually toggles between US English and UK English and Thai (in rotation).All three keyboards that I have (bought in Thailand) do the same.
And, although I cannot confirm it now, the previous five did also.
