Went to the PEA today to apply for electricity. The wife went in alone to submit documents. Came back out to the car to ask how many amps we wanted. I told her 15/45 single phase. The official helping her said he thought we should have 3 phase. Wife called contractor and he said 3 phase also. Official said total to bring 3 phase (assuming 45/100) to the land plot (about 180 meters) would be 100,000 baht each for the 3 one rai plots. Wife owns 1 rai, friends own the other two. We were told that if all 3 applications were submitted at the same time it would be cheaper.
Now the house is going to be nothing special.
4 bedrooms ( 3 aircons)
6 bathrooms (only 3 with instant heat)
3 - 4 TVs
Stereo
Internet / Desktop computer
Main fridge and 2 small style reefers
CFL and LED lighting
Drink cooler
Various kitchen items: Toaster, Microwave, Blender
Water pump
NO workshop running saws, grinders, lathes or milling machines.
NO Pool
Small fish pond with submersible pump
I know I should really calculate and add it all up while everything is on, but that is a little impractical as the configuration does not exist yet.
Everything I have read on this forum and others says single phase is fine for a "normal" house and I understand that if I need to upgrade in the future I could change to a 45/100 meter.
What am I missing? Do you agree that single phase 15/45 is fine?
