Utilities
- Electricity is billed by PEA in houses, often by the building in condos. Ask which rate you pay.
- Water is cheap; bills of a few hundred baht are normal.
- Internet: AIS, True and 3BB all install within days. Bring your passport and lease.
- Pay at 7-Eleven, by bank app or by direct debit.
Repairs in a rental
Your landlord pays for wear and breakdowns; you pay for damage. Report problems in writing, with photos, the day they happen. In condos, the building's juristic office handles common areas and can recommend tradespeople.
