\"MEAOne, two or 3 days over – it doesn’t matter once you go past your due date, you can’t pay you Electric Bill<\/strong> thru the same channels. \u00a0Normally you can pay your 7-Eleven or Tesco Lotus, but they’ll just give you blank look and a “mai Dai” if you bring it in late. \u00a0Your only option? Trek to the nearest Electricity Authority office and stand in line. \u00a0This could take you a good hour or more of waiting, if they are open and if you get there in time.<\/p>\n

The next option is your motorcycle Taxi stand. \u00a0They are used to running around doing odd jobs, but if your bill is a few thousand you might not feel so comfortable handing over the money. \u00a0Best if you have an existing relationship with them.<\/p>\n

The Best Way to Pay<\/h3>\n

Finally the secret option that so far I’ve not see any other people post. \u00a0It involves online transfer with a Thai bank. \u00a0But not any bank. \u00a0You must use SCB online<\/strong> banking. \u00a0They have a form that looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"PayaLatePowerBill\"<\/a>The key here is they manually accept your Customer\u00a0Number and Bill Reference\u00a0number. \u00a0Manually enter that data as well as a name and amount. \u00a0SCB is not using the same connection as Kbank where they look up the value you owe, present you with it and pay it.<\/p>\n

After you’re done, the money will leave you account an you’ll get a confirmation. \u00a0You’ll want to make a screen capture or print of this page incase and kind of dispute would need to take place.<\/p>\n

Let me know in the comments if you find this trick useful!<\/p>\n
