    Yes! The bathroom drain cover is an essential. Best $1 I ever spent.

    I would go with DRINKING WATER, that is definitely the very 1st thing I was literally forced to buy every week/month.

      I lived in San Diego Ca and everyone I know, even the poor bought water. Some had it delivered and others used water refilling vending machines. Used to be 10 cents 15 yrs ago, it was up to 45 cents when we moved this year.

      You can only buy it in these bogus little packets that have two crushed aspirin in a powder. Ask the local pharmacy. See what they say.

    Drain covers also help keep the snakes out. Also, every time you re enter Thailand you must report to immigration.

    When you apply for the Non-Immigrant O-A Retirement Visa, there's a box you need to check for multiple entries. You can then leave and re-enter as much as you like during the Visa's validity without having to reapply.

    You make a really good point concerning the drain cover. Many condos and flats in Thailand lack a U-shaped P-trap in the drains unless the owner installed one, which allow for direct access to sewer drains and foul-smelling bathrooms. Building codes in Thailand do not require the installation of these traps. Thus, before renting or purchasing, enquire about it.

    Very uncommon with power surges in the citys same with needing draincovers ...your tips are mainly about someone that owns a house.
    Bad AIR is a problem, and i go for kn95 masks worst days ..a white mask is gray after walking around in chang mai couple of hours under hat season
    As for most things u buy they are about 40-60% cheaper than in the west..
    Love people that come with 2 full suitcases and discover that the ost they have is A LOT cheaper and often better or same quality here in Thailand.(love the American lady that did bring toiletpaper and shampoo and soap in one suitcase =) )
