The juristic person buys power from MEA at a bulk rate, then resells to units with a common-area markup, so residents pay THB 6–8 per unit instead of the MEA residential tariff. A direct MEA meter is rarely available in condominiums, though some newer projects do offer it — check before signing.

AIS Fibre Gigatron reaches 2,000 Mbps at about THB 1,790 per month, and True Gigatex Pro offers 1,000 Mbps at about THB 1,499. For most expats a 500 Mbps package around THB 700–900 is ample for 4K streaming, video calls and remote work with several devices online.

Pocket WiFi or an Air Card works as a backup, but genuinely unlimited plans are rare and mobile latency runs 30–50 ms against 10–15 ms on fibre. For video conferencing or trading, keep fibre as your primary line and use 5G only as failover during outages.
