I'm Done For! Sorayut Raises His Hands in Surrender Over Ten-Thousand-Baht Electricity Bill, Pleads for Meter Check
A Bangkok resident living alone received an electricity bill exceeding 10,000 baht and is pleading with authorities to investigate whether his meter is faulty, citing suspiciously high charges despite minimal usage.
I'm done for! Sorayut Sutasaneejinda is raising his hands in surrender over an electricity bill exceeding ten thousand baht despite living alone, urging the Bangkok Metropolitan Electricity Authority to investigate whether his meter is faulty.
While high electricity bills have been widespread lately, some households appear to be experiencing suspiciously excessive charges. In the program 'Kammakan News Chat Off-Screen,' Sorayut announced to the Bangkok Metropolitan Electricity Authority's Bang Khen branch that he's financially ruined, living alone yet receiving a bill for over ten thousand baht.
"Could you please check my house? I live alone. Even though I have several air conditioning units, I only turn them on when I'm around. Why is my bill over ten thousand baht?" Sorayut pleaded with the electricity authority to investigate the possibility of a faulty meter.
"I'm done for! This is really suspicious. The water pump sometimes runs even when the water isn't being used. This is it—Bangkok Metropolitan Electricity Authority, Bang Khen branch, I'm begging you, please come check. It must be a jumbled meter reading from another house. I never had problems before, but now I'm suffering."
Sorayut also noted that "Look at the billing yourself. If anyone's bill is lower than 2,300 baht, their electricity rate is cheaper. If it exceeds 2,300 baht, the rate becomes more expensive in June's billing cycle." The post has drawn various comments from other users.
