I'm convinced by that official-looking bill.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Cost of Living in Phnom Penh
Even a brand new energy efficient fridge will use a little under 1 per day, maybe kWh.5kWh/day, and will draw power 12 hours out of every 24 depending on your thermostat. So the fridge alone would cost around $5. It's impossible, unless you switch off the mains power as you leave, and you're only home 17 minutes a month, or if you're fridge thermostat is set to ambient temperature..Jamie_Lambo wrote:i pay 1500/kwhphuketrichard wrote: Jamie; i cant believe u only spend thiselectric is 1,000 riel/kwh (if ur lucky) so ur only using 8 kwh/month Impossible unless ur NEVER there."Elec + Water = $2.50"

I would also say that 8kw a month for electricity to run all that and a fridge can't be right.
That's just impossible, so the maths is wrong somewhere.
