Maybe terminology but the fan in the indoor unit is a barrel or axial fan (and probably other terminology as well) with a lot of closely spaced fans which do get dirty. The out door fan is a large, usually a four bladed fan which collects a little dust. Its the condenser fins in the outdoor unit that get very dirty and degrades performance as can be seen in the video I posted. So many posts on threads on here I read people neglect the outdoor unit cleaning and if my video doesn't convince people then nothing will.

The outdoor unit often gets neglected. This video shows how dirty the outdoor unit fins get here in Chiang Mai. It was professionally cleaned one year prior. AC clean.mp4

Which fan? There are 2, a barrel fan in the indoor unit and a standard bladed fan in the outdoor unit. The outside fins (condenser) can get very dirty especially here in Chiang Mai and needs cleaning yearly. See my next post.

If done properly you should never need a gas up. And if you do you should have leak located and repaired. I had AC in my bedroom for 19 years back in Oz and NEVER needed a gas up. I changed it for an inverter type and the old one went into shed and worked ok, although rarely, without a top up.

Be careful on here, you will have other members saying things like "Who cares if you're saving money but missing out on the most important thing in life?"😉

Never heard the saying that silver is the poor mans gold? Silver is used in industry far more than gold. I had 100kg pool allocated in Oz. most of purchases doubled in price. I am happy with 100% ROI. Some people just not happy.

Ever heard a thing called a joke? I guess not. People who can't take a joke are certainly not important in my life.

I had a T shirt made.

When I came to Thailand one of my investments was 4 x 100 ounce silver bars bought from a Singapore company. Later on I tried to sell one bar in Chiang Mai. Took a Thai friend and visited many silver shops, no luck. Contacted company I purchased from and they would buy back. Then came the problem of shipping it back, no one wanted to do it. The only company I found wanted an enormous insurance premium. In the end I booked a flight to Singapore, sold them back and flew back.

I have already said maybe I am wrong but please explain what it is then so dumb people like can learn from the experts.

But apparently you are the expert. Always one on here.

Maybe tidal was a bad comment but I knew some expert would definitely correct me. Thank you. Where tidal or not the law of physics states that water, and other things such as heat and pressure, etc, flows from high to low. If the Mekong had no water the Tonje Sap would flow according to that law from high to low. Obviously at times the Mekong get high levels and thus a "back flow" up the Tonje Sap.

That is basically tidal.

It may run North but not uphill.

Once drove a Thai lady from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. We crossed a bridge over one of the larger rivers and she said that that river flowed UP to CR. I said dont you mean down to CR. She replied no, this is the only river in Thailand that flows uphill. Sadly she believed it and no amount of explaining could convince her.

I have the X rated ones. XRP, XLM and XDC, Good or bad? Only future will tell.

Are we not past that date already? Its a pity proof reading not carried out in a lot of these stories.

Different Ways to Unclog Drain Lines in Your AC Plunger Method. ... Use a Wet/Dry Vacuum. ... Pour One Cup of Vinegar Down the Drain Line. ... Pour One Cup of Bleach Down the Drain Line. ... Blow Air Through the Line. ... Flush Clean Water Through It. ... Use Chemical Drain Cleaners. ... Use an Electric Snake. Obviously some of these really would not work or be difficult. There are also YouTube videos on how to do it. I would use 5 or 6. I have use a water hose to push water back up through drain but you have to be careful not too much pressure or flow to blast it into indoor unit. If it clears water just in catch tray and flows back out when you remove water hose.

Photo he posted showed where water dripping from.

I believe it does, coming from bottom of ducting on left hand side of unit.

Yes, looks like many people here think should be a drain line from the outdoor unit, wrong, as you say should come from indoor unit. In reverse cycle units, which I have never seen in Thailand there is also a drain line on the outdoor unit as it does produce condensation when in the heating mode. I have also found if the unit is short on refrigerant icing can occur on the service valves and piping on the outdoor unit and hence more condensation. Looking at the picture the refrigerant piping is on the right side and the internal drain line comes out the bottom of the ducting on the left.

I had to get a new passport in May 2021. The original visa sticker stays in the old passport but a few stamps are added to the new one. I travelled out of the country first time since in May this year. I was pulled aside and asked extra questions by IO but not sure if in relation to old PP or not. I have not needed old PP in more than 3 years since renewed but did keep in just in case. I have heard that some countries keep your old PP when you get a new one. As far as carrying PP all the same I never do as not needed. Even when I air travel within Thailand I carry PP but don't show it I use my Thai DL and never been asked for PP.

A friend had a 42,000 baht Apple MacBook pro that stopped working. She took it to Apple and they discovered these little ants had gotten into it and apparently they love eating the insulation inside. Also talked to another guy who had same issue.

I use this iPhone app from the Thai app store. Translated means "Today's gold price"
