Has anyone purchased a room size dehumidifier that has a drain into the sink?

forget the big box stores, check out the electronics market at fortune town on ratchada. they have a whole section of japanese surplus dehumidifiers that already come with drain hoses fitted. i picked up a panasonic f-yv50hx for 3500 baht there, half the price of homepro. just bring a picture of your sink setup so the seller can help you pick the right hose adapter. works perfectly in my bathroom on sukhumvit 71

Mitsubishi makes a couple of models that come with a drain hose kit and they're pretty common at HomePro or Power Buy. I've got the MJ-EV230HX and it runs the hose right into the sink drain pipe under the counter, no bucket to empty. Just make sure you get the right hose adapter for your sink's pipe size, the ones at HomePro on Rama 4 have a decent selection.

honestly if you're in a condo you might wanna check with the juristic office first. some buildings on sukhumvit have rules about draining into sinks cause of the plumbing setup. i got a sharp from lazada that drains fine into my kitchen sink but my friend in thong lor had to return his cause the pipe was too small. the sharp CV-80H is pretty compact and has a continuous drain option, about 4500 online. just measure your sink area first cause some of these things are bigger than you expect

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
