And where does the water go?  12sm is extremely small and suspect a 9,000 btu split unit would not have any issue keeping it cool

So extra work to keep that from overfilling.  As he seems able to use fixed but believes needs way more btu that should be required (even for his reported 23c igloo temperature) so expense was the deciding factor.

The problem with the portable air conditioners is that they are not very efficient. A normal AC cools the circulated inside air. The portable ones blow the hot air to the outside via the duct tube. This air has to be replaced with air from outside which is warm to hot.

When was the last time you saw an air-con hung out a window in Thailand?

They have a 2" drill for the pipes and wires.

too elaborate a bit.   The A/C  unit is hung on the wall.    The hole is drilled and pipes and wires

go outside to the compressor ( which can be hung on outside wall or sit on footpath outside.)

My experience is that, a lot of  company (e.g Home Pro)  includes installation for free (hanging rack needs to pay extra tho)

But don't be surprised if the fitting 'contractor' arrives and asks for an extra 2,000 - 5,000Baht. Been there done that with HP in Chiang Mai. My adult Thai son called HP and complained. Response: do you want the products installed or not?

I used HomePro Mae Hia in Chiang Mai. Only extra charge was for wall bracket for outside unit, 500baht.
