You might try talking to one of the local charities like WVS Thailand. they have a place near the night safari. their primary purpose is saving animals and I have notified them of animals in distress previously who they have saved and rehabilitated. I am sure they would be sympathetic.

Try the silversmiths down Wua Lai road. Some of the larger ones might help.

Thanks for the input, Mike. Hopefully I will avoid this!

I have stage 3 haemorrhoids, those similarly afflicted will understand. Does anyone have any feedback on treatment in Chiang Mai? I have read that the Rafaelo technique is effective. Does anyone have any experience of this or alternatives?

I would like to do some wood turning and would be keen to find a facility with woodworking equipment, wood lathe, band saw, etc., which could be used at an hourly/daily rate. I am aware of the Makerspace near Thapei Gate, but it's lathe is currently non-op. Alternatively are there any other like minded people that would be interested in getting together and starting a co-operative?

I used to use 3M filter material on the aircon, but aircon fans are quite expensive to run and the filcrete does impede airflow. I found it best to buy 2 standalone Sharp filters. put one in the lounge and one in the master bedroom and leave them running on low 24/7. Change the filters every 6 months or so (approx. 200 THB from Lazada) and give the intake side a run over with the vacuum cleaner now and again. Works for us!

Has anyone had any experience of having laser surgery for haemorrhoids in Chiang Mai?
