Guess you haven't visited or lived in East Pattaya (darkside.)

Pattaya is not just Pattaya city central.

Wonderful area.????????

I prefer to leave the house every now & then.   ????

 

Simply too many people there along with the type I prefer to avoid.

    Is your AC clean? If the AC indoor unit in my bedroom is not cleaned every couple of months, then it doesn't get cold anymore. After cleaning it, it feels like a new AC. P.S.: I have pe

There's a drain from the compressor that takes the excess water from the air, I don't see much water coming out, could this be blocked?

So quick to judge and with nothing to back it up. I've lived on the Darkside of Pats for 14 years, never had a problem, never had a break in. 99% of the people who live in this area are Thai, are they the kind of people you try and avoid?

I didn't mention crime.   I just can't restrict myself to not venturing out to all areas, where I live.  Thought I was self explanatory, simply too much of what I avoid in the whole amphur.

 

No daily headliners from the amphur I live in.  Only thing making the new here (On Topic of course) is the weather

I don't restrict myself either, why would I?

any pipe from the compressor would not produce much if any water,   The water is produced in the evaporator (the component that is situated mounted indoors often wall mounted)  The water is produced as condensation when the warm air comes into contact with the cooling coils as the cooler air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air,  the same as the windows misting up when you take a hot bath or shower.

If the drainpipe was blocked you would eventually either notice water running down the wall inside from the evaporator or maybe even spitting out of the cool air outlet if it came into contact with the fan

Wow, what a difference! Just had the professionals here, cleaned everything with high pressure hose, now it's downright chilly!

Is there any more water coming out of that pipe now or is it too soon to tell?

Just had a look, no water, but the room is much colder, so worth the 500 baht to have cleaned.

It's getting the darned cover back on that usually stumps me ???? 

Quite, and mine are so old the plastic has gone brittle and a bit worried the clips will break off.

All our windows are covered in mirror finished film except the bedroom as it made it too dark. But yes....something outside would be better. Maybe I could nail the mother in law spread eagle on the outside over the window but later the nail holes would need filling. Alternatively , Louvered French windows would look better . Something to consider.

Don't forget to paint her silver!!!
