Based on what I have gathered from all of the comments etc, I think it would be more cost effective to have a dehumidifier.

If you already have the aircon just run it at a temperature 3-4 degrees below outside air temp and it will "naturally" de-humidifie the air in the conditioned room,  when the evaporator (inside the room) is cold then condensation forms on it (like a cold beer on a hot day) drawing water (humidity) from the air.

If it gets too cold for you then increse the temperature  on the aircon remote the humidity will stay low for quite a while  rinse and reapeat when you feel hot again.

When the evaporator is cold the compressor is running so eating electricity the longer the compressor runs the bigger your electricity bill,dry mode or a very low temperature setting will run the compressor for longer.

Myself I just set the temperature to 27 degrees not dry mode thats fine for most of the time untill the very few nights the outside temperature goes below 27 degrees which is not that many on the eastern seaboard of Thailand, up in the mountains its obviously cooler so perhaps open the windows on cool nights mosquitos,motorcycles,karaoke and barking dogs permitting.

Keeping the rodent from comming back to nrst again is a whole other problem.

You need bum guns to wash the pI$$ off the toilets seats before you can use them. I wonder if Thais do that in their own bathrooms at home?

I'm not Thai but I do that at home as does my Thai wife who always criticising  me for the pI$$ in the first place

So where will they stop Russia? Calais?

Russia wants to secure its western border  they have taken almost 20% of Ukraine in the Donbas and Crimea regions to that end, there is absolutely no sign they want to advance any further west let alone all the way to Calais.

Carbon Dioxide is greening the earth. Nothing to do with the pollution afflicting Chiang Mai.

Yes I agree C02 is greening the earth  and the particulate matter pollution across Thailand is mostly due to burning forest and fields.

I really do hope so  just for the sheer "Schadenfreude" of seeing him defeat those who amassed a witch hunt against him and his supporters.

They wouldn't even send troops or air cover to Ukraine let alone nuclear weapons.

You realise that if they sent troops that would mean a declaration of war against Russia and hence WWIII ?

Russia has said it reserves the right to use nukes if it's territory is threatened ( same as all other nuclear bomb wielding nations)

The planet *has* warmed as CO2 increases.

Methane is bad too hence the  push to kill all the livestock decimating farmers and get people eating bugs and lab meat..do you like eating bugs ?

Water vapour is also "bad" for global warming should we remove H20 ?

How about a nice big space umbrella to reflect the suns warming rays

or some stratospheric particulate matter to reflect it whilst the umbrella is built.

So again what do we do about this "unprecedented cataclysm"     second time asking you this

do we go back to living in caves own nothing and be happy ?

I'm not talking about models.

Yes you are because modelling AKA computer simulations is all you have in fact its all anyone could have  because we do not have a parallel earth to compare the other scenarios to.

Not a word about sea-floor volcanism as a major factor in ocean temperatures!

There are so many variables,interactions and cycles going on, many of which are poorly or totally not understood, all the climate alarmism is based upon computer models and hypothesis ( hunches/guesses)

But lets assume that the models are accurate  what is the solution ? and is the "solution" worse than the "problem"  for mankind as a whole

shall we all go back to living in caves  own nothing and be happy ?

There are no natural causes of the warming.

Ok lets say (or make believe) we all believe you (we don't) what can the human race do to survive, mitigate or reverse this cataclysm ?

That's the long way of saying you flunked Science.

  Did I ?   I must have flunked because I don't agree with you and the mainstream media ?

maybe I'm Elon Musk  the space entrepreneur who has friends at NASA.

I've slipped up here.  My driving licence is due for renewal in April.  I'm currently in The UK, and not back in Thailand until July.  

Even if you slip up  just present your UK licence  then all you need to do is the eyesight,reaction tests and maybe watch a video...you also always need a medical and residence certificate if using Barnglamung office.

It has been for the Banglamung office  others seem to have accepted  yellow book or work permit instead.

A yellow book and pink card are often accepted, they have been for the last 6 years for my licenses.

 At Banglamung office ?

I believe the 3 letter agencies,5 eyes countries,mossad,Bejing and the Cremlin all monitor,surveil,intercept and record whatever thay can sometimes in coperation with the "big tech" companies.

algae ponds are susceptible to pesticide run-off unfortunately.

Yes that could be a problem   perhaps rooftop "ponds" or raised beds

I don't think they need to be deep for algae ?
