n210mp Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just for info purposes My AC in the shed must be getting on a bit and despite repairing the remote control a couple of times in the past it died a few weeks ago Went to the market at the top of Soi Nernplabwan this morning (Saturday), the one in the temple grounds and there is a chap who was selling TV remotes ETC I asked him if he had an AC remote for a Panasonic AC, yes he said 350 Baht with Batteries. I offered him 300 and he agreed As I paid him he gave me a card with his name and phone number and said if I have any problem give him a ring. Couldn't wait to test the RC and it worked 100% He had remotes for all the common ACs so I think that its worth a visit to him if like me you were not wanting to pay silly money for the official ones Hope this is of interest to someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSVANPELT Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 A thought full POST, and helpful to some. I had this problem in The past and found replaceable remotes in Tuk Com in the shop across from the Tops Supermarket. Later on I found that most of the Thai, Hardware, electrical and electronic shops carry them prices range from 200 to 350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was in Amorn yesterday fixing a TV remote I dropped on the floor. It took them two minutes and the cheeky engineer tried to bill me 200 baht before dropping to 100 & then 50 baht. I did point out that they were selling the same remote new for just 120 baht.

n210mp Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I knew about the shop in Tukcom and all the others mentioned on TV F threads but I just hate going into central pattaya The reason I posted this thread was that I thought that there maybe people like me who have a similar problem and could stay on the North side of Sukhumvit to find one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Mine died a few years ago. Didn't last very long. Got a new one from the manufacturer. I think it was 800B. Can these other remotes also do the timed start/stop? I quite like that feature. Great post. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya46 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If you see your remote is about to die, you can order a new one from China for very cheap on sites like AliExpress, BangGood, ... Example for an "universal" aircon remote : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Universal-LCD-A-C-Muli-Remote-Control-Controller-for-Air-Condition-Conditioner/32276494956.html ~100 baht, port included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitawatWatawit Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks for the info - will keep that in mind as an alternative to Amorn, which I refuse to have anything to do with anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Any update on this topic? I'm looking for a remote for a Yashima aircon but cannot find it anywhere. I have been to Amorn but they don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldface Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Any update on this topic? I'm looking for a remote for a Yashima aircon but cannot find it anywhere. I have been to Amorn but they don't have it. Give that up as a lost cause. I had been looking for over 2 years. Apparently Yashima came to Thailand for a very short time with very low prices, and then disappeared. Even the ones remotes you program yourself does not work on them. The only way to get one is if you have or can find another Yashima remote and you can clone it - the cloneable remotes cost about 500 baht, and I did have a guy who had one that worked but he wanted 2000 baht for it. Well it is in a room that we don't use so decided not to bother. As for Air Remotes, I always go to a shop on Pattaya Nua - not far after 3rd road. It seems to be the place that a lot of the aircon boys around town use, and is cheaper than Amorn. They also readily will order stuff for you with little fuss - highly recommend them.

KittenKong Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 An old thread but this contains some specific information about Yashima remotes, and several suggestions: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/570048-help-please-air-conditioner-remote-not-working/ I would be very surprised if a universal or learning remote did not work (when used properly) as few aircon manufacturers seem to make their own remotes: they just buy them in and maybe get the cover design changed a bit. Moral: do not buy air-condtidioner brands that sound like a sort of raw fish dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldface Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've tried 4 different universal remotes with my dud Yashima air con, patiently going through each and every number. Digging a bit, Yashima (which makes industrial air products) was in a JV with Denki, who is now with Sanyo instead. The remote part in the aircons might either be from a commercial unit, hence the universal for household not working, or just as likely now defunct. If you know anyone with a working remote for them, find them, get a remote clone from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
