I work in Seattle, but live in Bangkok and commute back and forth. I'm a partner at a small property developer and management firm. We're emerging from the mom-and-pop style of doing business into a larger, more professional firm. Our websites are a total mess.

I'm looking for a Bangkok based web designer/web design firm familiar with AppFolio integration to:

• Help overhaul an awful, outdated tenant portal/property management website
• Overhaul our (separate) corporate private equity website, which is currently a WordPress based hack job
• Redirect/update/procure a series of other online properties that will ultimately point to subdomains and pages under those two master websites.

I've gotten quotes from specialty property management companies and they aren't flexible enough to do the job (and are a fortune).

If you haven't done work with AppFolio (or Yardi) before, this probably isn't the job for you. I have a decent set of current state/desired state specs/reference sites, but I don't want to start from Property Management 101 with a designer.

Please message me here with links to work samples if you are (or know someone/a firm) who is:

• Local to Bangkok and willing/able to consult in person
• Experienced with designing property management websites
• Able to help in short order (both availability and speed of work)
• A responsible, professional person/company

Thanks for your help!

Floor drains are normally inverted cup type and for bath easily dry out if not in shower area - make sure there is water in the outer ring area and that top in on securely and level.

Bump. This was exactly my problem in our brand new expensive highrise condo. My wife and I just moved to BKK from the States and were unfamiliar with this type of drain. The sewer gas was awful until I found this post. Thank you!

Just to put a little color on the comment above, you have to fill the outside of the "donut" around the drain hole with water, and then put the cap back on. The center of the cap is like a little umbrella and the edges dip below the water line in the "donut" to keep the gasses at bay. The drain in your shower works the same way but because you use it all the time, it stays full by itself - but your floor drain doesn't - you'll have to refill the "donut" about every week.

Thank you for the replies! It is the Aetna Personal Care plan - I'm glad that you concur the limits are ridiculously low.

Just to clarify, my wife and I are both Americans with no Thai heritage/citizenship. She will be covered by (Thai) Social Security - we've been advised of that. Does that apply to me, as the accompanying spouse, as well? We have no children. Both upper 30's age (I'll be 40 soon).

I'll reach out to your insurance recommendation.

I'm hoping someone can clarify a gap in my knowledge of the Thai health system. My wife is considering accepting a job offer with her current employer in Bangkok, which includes an Aetna "personal care plan". By US standards, that coverage is quite paltry, with fairly low maximum benefits (but you can't beat the price). I don't see coverage for "catastrophic" coverage, for pre-existing conditions, congenital conditions, cancer, or other long-term, expensive, chronic conditions. Do most people go to Thai public hospitals for treatments of these conditions? Is there such a thing as "catastrophic" insurance for private hospitals?

Tangentially related, is there disability coverage available? In the US, if my wife were to get hurt while working, she would get something like 70% of her salary paid to her through private insurance on top of social security. If she got hurt while working in Thailand, is there a similar private insurance available or is it also covered under the Thai Social Security plan?

Thanks!
