February 6, 20251 yr I have a fairly inexpensive Xiaomi Humidifier but it’s causing havoc with my air purifier. Was wondering if anyone bought a better model humidifier THAT FILTERS out minerals/particulates, given that I’m currently using tap water. Also, on the subject of proper water, would bottled water make a difference? Or do you use distilled water? And if so, are there delivery services for distilled?

The local bottled water delivery truck here in Pattaya has filtered water which is basically distilled water, I'm sure this would be good for you to use. Look out for these guys in your area.
February 7, 20251 yr Popular Post You don’t need a humidifier in Thailand, even at night with air con running. It will cause mould. Thailand is a very humid country and even with air con you’re unlikely to drop the humidity lower than 40%. Contrast that with some countries who are at 0%.
February 7, 20251 yr If you need more humidity you can either (or both): turn off the dehumidification in your air con; open a window!

Humifier will help with any essential oils.

Aircon does reduce the humidity, but usually the air still remains saturated to about 40%. The kind of humidifier you are talking about is called a diffuser, I have 2 of them too for the fragrance. They smell nice but what essential oils are they helping with? The essential oils you add to the diffuser aren't present in the human body.

The essential oils you add to the diffuser aren't present in the human body. It can be confusing easily when pinpointing the causes of the allergic or sneezing/runny nose. In my experience, it is best to use your nose to sense the atmosphere instead of the instruments/devices. Me too, I have both humidifier and diffuser. I use humidifier with adjusting its saturating against aircon and I use diffuser against mosquitos with lavender oil or other similar ones.
February 9, 20251 yr You are absolutely clueless regarding humidity in Thailand. Or any tropical country. "Bangkok's humidity levels vary throughout the year. The highest levels occur in September, reaching 79% (high), while the lowest is recorded in January at 68%. Throughout the year, the average humidity in Bangkok is 73%." "Chiang Mai's humidity levels vary throughout the year. The highest levels occur in August, reaching 81% (very high), while the lowest is recorded in March at 52%. Throughout the year, the average humidity in Chiang Mai is 71%."

Stop building bloody condos and hotels and sort out the infrastructure, water management, waste disposal, parking, roads etc etc. And reduce the numbers of non-public vehicles. The opportunities of the public transports should be encouraged.
