How to Pay Household Bills in Thailand

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Sean Graham, on behalf of Expert Village, sponsored by goturnkey.com. In this segment, I want to give you an idea of what your household bills will be for your time in Thailand. We actually pay for this three bedroom house on the outskirts of Bangkok five thousand baht per month. Along with that, what you will have is your electricity bill. Our electricity bill this month was nine hundred and fifty baht. Probably what I should tell you right now is that at this present moment when I'm making this film, the dollar is 13.5 to the baht. Okay, so you get 13.5 to one dollar. Next, we have the telephone bill. We have a telephone line. I don't actually use it. I just have it for the internet. So every month, that costs a standing charge of one hundred and seven baht. Then I have my internet. My internet is high speed. That costs me one thousand two hundred baht a month. But I could take a lower powered internet, which would cost me six hundred and fifty baht. Then finally, the water bill. And this month's water bill was four hundred and fifty baht. So there's some ideas of your household bills for the month. Thank you."
