Vent: that $250 portable AC I bought in Bangkok was a total waste of money
I was working from a tiny studio in Bangkok during hot season and my room hit 38C every afternoon, so I dropped 8,500 baht on a portable AC unit. It blew warm air, leaked water on my laptop bag, and the landlord said it broke the outlet. I ended up working from cafes for two weeks and just ate the loss when I moved to Chiang Mai. Has anyone actually found a cooling setup that works in these old buildings without spending a fortune?
