4mm is OK, 6mm is better if the run is a bit longer.

Yeah ^^^, for a dryer that's likely running for long periods I'd go 6mm².

 

At 6.6kW are we looking at an industrial dryer?

Thanks for the answer

Just a caution from someone who had a dryer for 20 years with less than 20 uses - if air drying is an option most Thai will prefer.  With your name and new house want to be sure you know it might not be needed.  

 

Is dryer 50Hz?

Seems like

Just looked through whirlpool dryers sold in Thailand. All I see is 4400 to 4700 W.

(10.5 kg capacity)

 

Do I feel the need to have one? No. For the few completely wet and dark days?

I'm on my second electric dryer in 22 years and would not be without one. Wife loves it. 

 

We also put a washer and dryer in the women's bathroom at the plant, they ran pretty much every moment the plant was open.
