Aircoolers

[bppree]

Any recommendations for aircoolers, (the ones with fans) ? Where to buy them in Chiang Mai ?

Hi BPpree,

Do you mean Fans or A.C. units?

Hi BPpree,

Do you mean Fans or A.C. units?

I did edit my first post after reading your question, so yes indeed : the ones with fans.

You can find a good selection in Carreforre supermarket, Central carries them as well. Most all the electrical shops carry a good supply, so you should be able to get yourself sorted out fairly quickly.

Don't most air coolers have fans?

If you're just after the type where you put cool water or ice inside, I wouldn't bother as they're pretty crap. They're ok if you have em loaded with ice and about 2 nanometres away from your leg, but they're also pretty good at elevating the humidity, plus after a while it becomes a pain to fill them up and empty them. Best off getting yourself a really good fan for about 1k (and throwing a bucket of ice in front of it when it gets really hot) as opposed to a dodgy cooler for around 3k. Better still, you could plum for a portable aircon unit for around 17k. Central have them. If you get the latter, don't forget to pop the exhaust out the window

Buy REAL air-con. Anything else is a waste of time in Thailand.

I went years without it, but I LOVE it now!
