Time to leave TVF or whatever called now.

Like I said it WORKED for ME .

Ear plugs hurt me too much sleeping with them in for hours. Chickens would definitely keep me awake. The white noise I used was a continual shhhhhhhhh and it worked for me. A few times I went to bed and could not sleep and then I realised I could hear outside noises because I forgot to turn my white noise on. Not for everyone I guess but worked for me for many years.

I used to work shift work and needed to sleep a lot in the day. I just bought a stand alone whitenoise generator. Buy one on Lazada fro 300 or less. I think you would pay a lot more than that on an AC if you can find one.

I had a Fujitsu General installed in my bedroom i Australia and it was there 19 Years and never needed a regas as it was installed properly in the first place. In fact I moved it to my workshop and used there a couple more years before I moved. I installed ACs as a sideline business in Australia. The new refrigerants there to replace R22 was R410a which operated at a much higher pressure so I Nitrogen pressure tested each install I did at a higher pressure than the units normally ran at to test for leaks. Never had a call back due to low refrigerant. Do the job correctly and can operate great, other than filter and coil cleans for years. But, hey, TiT.

Inverter AC does NOT mean its reverse cycle, although some reverse cycle Acs can be inverter type. Inverter means lots of electronics are used to allow the compressor to run at varying speeds. Reverse cycle is exactly as the name suggests and using extra components as you say the refrigerant flow is reversed and the indoor unit can be used as a heater. I have never seen a reverse cycle AC in Thailand, as you say, not needed. Plenty of inverter types though.
