9k is just ridiculous, so is 5k for 2 weeks use. Don't they realize that word will get out & they will soon be empty. At Billabong Hotel in L.K. Metro we have monthly rooms from 16,000 but ALL the electricity, water and maid service is included. And you can get a great breakfast or a drink off friendly staff. If you are sick of being ripped off have a look http://www.billabonghotel.com

9K is not ridiculous unless they are cheating him on the readings. A few years back I rented a place at 7500 a month plus utilities. My largest electric bill was about 800 baht for the month at 8 baht a unit. Last year I know a guy who stayed at the same place and at the same 8 baht rate and he had a 7500 electirc bill. The difference is that since I'm from the Sacramento valley I'm use to temps reaching 105 while he's from San Francisco where they complain if temps get to 90 so he ran the AC all the time. Its all about useage. What you charge is competitive with what I've seen of all inclusive rates. Its a good deal for someone who needs the AC on all the time but for me it wouldn't be a good deal. Do you think you could continue with those rates if all your guests ran the AC 24 hours a day?

 

This past Dec I bought a condo and the electric rate is around 3.4 baht a unit directly from the electric company. TGF and I moved in on Dec 10th and then I left for the states on the 20th. When I came back early Jan I hadn't received my electric bill as they bill on the 1st of the month. Was surprised to hear that if my bill is under 300 baht the Thai governemnt picks up the bill, never had the US government or California pay my electric bill. Nice but what was even better is when I closed on the condo I found out that the 55K transfer fee that I expected to pay was waived by the Thai government and all I had to pay was 2,500 baht to the land office.

If you had clowns using the aircon at 16c 24/7/365 you'd be putting their rent up or asking them to leave. I could say your place is expensive at 16k compared to a condo of equivalent standard but that is down to the services, the electric being the largest. Transparency for the punters is a good policy.

Hope I don't find a dog on a tucker box.
