arithai12 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 We have a few bought from Lazada at less than 1000B, they work ok e.g. in a large room. We also have small necklace-type personal purifiers, obviously not for a room but e.g. to keep close to you when you sleep or walk outside. A couple of hundred baht, they help a little. Note that most places are not air-purified, including main shopping malls, so your battle is not only at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...any link to that rather depressing news that malls aren't pumping out good air? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celsius Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 almost any air purifier under 1000b on lazada will do. It's not a complicated tech. BTW, what happened to the old one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I have been quite happy with my Xiaomi Air Purifier Model 2. I paid about 1,800 THB. An important consideration is filter replacement, and I have had no troubles for years getting Xiaomi filters. They have cheaper models, but not sure of coverage: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/xiaomi-youpin-usb-i5043681774-s21326509670.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FolkGuitar Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 Get a box of N95 filter material at HomePro or Global House, and just cut a square to cover the back side of your fan. That's really how an air purifier works, just with a fancier filter. This will work perfectly, and is as cheap as chips! We do that with three fans in the house in rooms where we don't have the main air purifiers. You can see the effective difference after just one week's usage. 5 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post khunphil Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 Often, prevention cost less than the hospital... Xiaomi has many models, and cheap filter replacement. Also, many foreigners are living, and selling second hand purifier. Changing or cleaning the filter is not that expensive , at least on Xiaomi models. The fan trick works. You can do same for the air-cond (at least just use the fan if money is a problem), and put Filtrete inside. Works also for the cabin air filter in the car ! Good luck 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presnock Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 take the hint from one of the above - buy n95 material and put it on fans - WEAR an N95 mask as it will filter out the 2.5 micron air pollutant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Describe cheap ? Although, just buy a decent (Xiaomi fan myself, have 2), save the box, and take it back with you, if not staying in TH. You must like CM to return there. Or instead of taking with you, leave with trusted friend, and it will be here for your return.

Tape some of this over the air intake of your a/c, on the top where air goes in. Filtrete by 3M is good, from Lazada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Hello my Fellow CM Inhabitants: aa. I do not know why, but, several months ago, I posted this important link concerning how to make your own DIY cheap and effective Air Purifier from a Fan and a HEPA filter, and....I was derided here for my good efforts. bb. Here the link, once again, how to easily make your own DIY AIR PURIFIER: https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/how-to-make-diy-air-purifier/ cc. In my case, I have three small Hatari fans: dd. These Hatari fans are cheap and low cost to operate. ee. I just need to put a HEPA filter on the back (I think the FRONT will work better) of each of these fans, and then I will have plenty of air purifying power, at a ridiculously low cost. ff. I have two XiaoMi (large) air purifiers which work quite well. But, the filters are fairly expensive. gg. So, my best option is to continue to run these two XiaoMi purifiers, 24/7/365. But, also, to run the three Hatari fans, in addition, during the Smoking Season. This will help a lot. And, at the low setting, the Hatari fans draw a very small amount of power..maybe about 15 watts, each, as I recall. I just need to get to HomePro, or some place, where I can buy the HEPA filters to stick on the back of each fan. hh. The LINK that I have provided is excellent if you want to know a little, or a lot, about air purification. So.... Let it not be said that I never gave you guys on TV, nothin'..... Take care, and breathe easy, guys. Best regards, Gamma GO with HEPA, Folks! You will be glad that you did! Air Pollution is a BEACH.... ========== This particular brand and size of the Hatari fan seems to just never break down. Just my experience.

Paris333 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 In Ebay you can find cheaper price but find a seller from China or nearby countries in Thailand. Source: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=air+purifier&_sacat=0 But first wash very well your bed sheets and pillow case as well as courtains in your room furthermore scrub with soap and mop the floor in your room.

Filtrete on the aircon intake helped but not cheap and always shocked at how much grime it caught. My clothes were always filthy, screw it. And if it not raining its 12 mths a year there now. Too many toxic smokestacks and vehicles spewing out crap which settles in that valley. It gets worse every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
