This is the device that hooks up to your HDMI port in the TV and allows you to watch various programs.
 

I’ve noticed that there are other manufacturers (xiaomi) and also Lazada may sell.

Just curious if anyone has purchased a similar device here in CM and your satisfaction.

I was thinking of small adventures to nearby cities, close to Chiang Mai. (For instance, Lamphun..) Maybe just stay for 1 to 3 days, then back to CM.

I would rather pay for luxury and safety. Maybe a seat by itself, since I’m a solo traveler in my 60’s. I’ve seen some pictures where there are double seats on one side, solo seats on the other.

I would rather take advantage of online convenience, so maybe a website suggestion.
 

Any particular experiences with specific services would also be appreciated.

Much thanks in advance! ????

My Xiaomi Air Purifier needs to be repaired.
 

Wondering if anyone knows a small machine repair shop that can take a look at it. 
 

Thank You. ????????

TWO MONTHS LATER….What a mess!  Obstacles everywhere! 

I also fear bites from rats and dogs, especially at night.

Recently I purchased a strong lumen flashlight and use it whenever walking in Nimmenhaimen and other areas.
 

It’s also helpful for warding off crazy nighttime food drivers.

Two and a half weeks later: They have done very little near me. Hardly any concrete pouring. Lots of people walking in the road, with cars whizzing by. 
 

It’s such a weird priority….very few workers. Saw only two workers a few days ago.
 

Have to wonder if Songkran will come and go, which makes walking in the road, and getting doused, a terrifying reality.

At first I thought it was for laying some pipe, but it’s now my understanding that a new sidewalk is coming. A new business (B-quik Auto) actually had a nice sidewalk prior but no longer. 
 

Now, one has to walk in the road, with your back to traffic, which makes it unnerving as motorists speed by. Cones are few and far between.
 

Few of my favorite restaurants, Salsa Kitchen and LemonTree, have to be besides themselves. See photo below.

I grin and bear it but there are a few people in my hotel who need assistance while walking. Can’t be fun for them.

Not sure how much if that number is the air quality in or at the unit itself and not the rest of the room.

 

Presumably the measurement unit should be well-separated from the filtration unit so the unit is not just measuring filtered air from its immediate vicinity?  

I put the unit right next to my bed.
 

So far, over the years, no morning sore throat, no itchy eyes, no coughing.
 

Is it the most accurate measurement? Probably not, but it seems to do the job.

Get the whole house Xiaomi, it houses two massive filters and will handle up to 75 square meters. We run that plus a smaller one for the bedroom, job done, filters last a long time

Excellent! And honestly I think they’re rather attractively designed. 
 

Not only that, but when my old filter was ready to be replaced (unit has a red light warning) , and I was awaiting my new one from Lazada,  the hotel maintenance man vacuumed the filter and it was good to go.

How much does the Power Buy one cost?  (I have bronchitis, so this might be impt.)

 

Re moving to KL etc: world travel is off for awhile. I'd enjoy KL, but finances. will not allow this. I'm lucky to know about TH!  

 

Thanks!

When it comes to my health, its never wrong to splurge a little. Also, I imagine you could sell it rather fast to someone else upon leaving area. The nice thing is the LED number. I wake up at night, look at the low number and it gives me peace of mind. How much is that worth?

The Lazada one: could you get replacement filters?  Thank you

Sold all over town. But yes, I got mine from Lazada….maybe 400 baht.

Yes. Absolutely. Bit, the good ones are expensive. Tried the Xiaomi and found it to be lacking. It requires an app, and it will not stay connected. Low end stuff. 

 

It is all about the size of the filter. Good ones have massive filters. 

Have to disagree. No app needed. (Maybe older unit in this case, 2s)  Runs fine for my studio/room. Step outside my hotel door and the air is heavy, rancid and chewy. Inside my room, light and clean.

Two coffee shops near me use the professional units from Xiaomi and the air is fine and dandy in both stores.
 

Sure, you could probably find dozens of better units, but for the price….no complaints here. Paid 4000 baht on Lazada 3 years ago. 

Sent my Form letter 7162 back to USA in August. Didn’t receive any more letters on the subject here in Thailand. Did get a letter with tax information about a week ago.

And…just now, received my February deposit in my US bank account.

Does this mean I’m in the clear?

Was this the Bivalent Vaccine Booster?

Don’t think so. My understanding is that they aren’t here yet in LOS, but monovalent mRNA still has value for lessening the severity of C19.

Given its been a full year since my last booster, and I have a little trepidation concerning influx of Chinese tourism and a potential Covid-19 surge, I decided to get the free booster vaccine at Nakornping Hospital,

which offers the vaccine on Friday and Saturday. 8am to 2pm.

Arrived at 9am, and no waiting. Out the door in 30 minutes. Only Pfizer offered.
 

Later, when I looked at my updated Mor Prom online information, some errors were made. Emailed the hospital and within one hour, everything corrected.
 

So….great customer service. ???? 

I’m not a cellphone connoisseur by any means, but I bought a rather inexpensive SamSung that has held up well. My suggestion is to visit one of the malls where they have a shop. $60 American is pretty low….I think I spent $100….but you never know. 

Food for thought but the 600 baht CM RAM quote is a half dose. 1200 for full dose.

The 20 baht buses, which were absolutely wonderful, are not running now. Shame really. 

Would love to know if there are any plans to bring them back.

Look forward to replies. While in San Francisco I caught the yearly Monarch migration. Amazing! Thousands of butterflies nesting in trees.
