Excellent choice; so now go for it and proudly report back when you receive and have tested it.
Good luck

Suggestion; remove your aircon filter(s), soak in a mild solution of bleach and water for at least 20 minutes. Rinse, dry, replace. Repeat every 2 to 3 weeks.
Carry a little bottle oh bleach (haiter) when travelling and do the above by placing aircon filters in the sink; while having a shower. Do not be frightened by the puple, green, and multi-colored gunge adhering to said filters, but do use plastic gloves or whatever.
Does wonders for your health.

Thanks for that MoonRiverOasis; good work as usual.
Appreciate your time.

I understand that Thai educational institutes themselves as opposed to their staffs, such as universities, technical schools, private schools, down to nurseries pay no tax .Is this correct?  If so,it may be why they are awash in money, as a poster suggested.

Out of curiosity what are the official salaries for Heads of Department, professors, and lecturers at Rajabhat Chiangmai and others.
Possibly the heads of department and owners/directors pay themselves extremely well. I have searched their 'web' sites, if you can call them that, to no avail. Google the sites yourselves to witness web-based chaos.

A Thai lawyer friend of mind was wondering too, as a Head of Department at Rajabhat CMai (doctorate) has just completed a new house at probably no less than 8-9 million Baht, including 120 Taland Wah of land, off Thapae Road. The lawyer was thinking of trying to get a teaching gig there, as opposed to slaving at the central court near City Hall for apparently a lot less salary.

I recall anecdotally that ex-PM Taksin has a home in Green Valley. He or his extended family might be interested. Good luck.
