Free Water!

Wow! I can't believe it.. the Thai government is really doing their service to the people. Aside from the 30 Baht Hospital Bill scheme they are giving to their people, they've got a new benefit now. It's Free Water!

From this month onwards, if anyone's water bill is less than 500 Baht, then the government will be the one to pay for it. But if it reaches more that 500 Baht then the house owner will have to pay for everything. I think this is also a move from the government to make people more aware to 'conserve water'.

We didn't know this earlier and we received our water bill which was 380 Baht, my HUbby went to pay at 7-11 Store ( yes, we can pay our bills there too). But the cashier told him that it has already been paid. Hahah! My Hubby got shocked and only then he realized that there was a thai writing that says " Already Paid by the Government".

That's great news huh? Once again we were impressed with the Thai government which is really making a lot of programs to help their people. I wonder when can my beloved country Philippines have this kind of 'real' programs to lift the financial burdens of the people. I'm sure a lot of our countrymen are in financial distress now and would regularly need fast cash loan or payday loans to make ends meet at the middle of the month.
