Aren't we all hydo electric power? We should be ok unless the price of Mekong water goes up.

I'm not sure how much LPG has gone up but, yes, it was to be expected.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 5:44 pmas gasoline regular has gone from 4400-5400/5800 in past 2 months
u'd expect taxi, pass app prices to increase
at least electricity of me is steady at 630/kwh
Except at PassApp though.
When I messaged them about my journey home they replied that that they "reserve the right to increase prices without notice" and then said "because this is an urgent case".
I work in transport and we have always given our customers advance notice of any increases or fuel surcharges.

Cooking gas used to be around $12 for 12kg and I heard it's gone up to $50 now. Living costs and inflation are definitely up here as well. Even the price of eggs has gone up considerably.John Bingham wrote:Gasoline has gone up about 46 cents a liter since the start of the year - from $0.92 to $1.38. That's about a 50% increase and is bound to have knock on effects on the price of other goods.

Food prices have been steadily climbing too.

There are no dams in Cambodia on the Mekong. These are the hydro electric plants operating. The Lower Sesan is a tributary of the Mekong but the others are all quite separate.

Kirirom I (12MW) in Kampong Speu
Kamchay (193MW) in Kampot, which started operating in 2011
Kirirom III (18MW), which started operating in 2013
Stung Atai (120MW) in Pursat, which started operating in 2013
Lower Russei Chrum (338MW) in Koh Kong, which started operating in 2014
Stung Tatai (246MW) in Koh Kong, which began power production in 2014
Lower Sesan II (400MW) in Stung Treng province, officially opened in 2018.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The 2020's is sure turning out to be the decade nobody will forget for a long time. If we even get to live long enough to ever forget it. From Covid, which began bang-on within the very first month of the decade, to, I was going to say a return to the Cold War, but it feels even worse than it did when I was growing up in the 80's. And now serious global food and energy shortages, I get the feeling the good times are well and truly over and won't be returning for quite some time, if they ever do.
The entire world order, be it political or economic, is going through a clunky gear change right now with a distinct feeling that the perfect storm is still forming and is yet to hit land.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

I'm still paying $25 same for the last few years not sure of the size but the bottle is about a meter high.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 7:33 pmCooking gas used to be around $12 for 12kg and I heard it's gone up to $50 now.
