iuytrede Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Little plastic container filled with some hygroscopic stuff, sucks up the water, so it fills with water and you throw it away. Quite popular in some places in Asia, but I am not sure whether I have ever seen them here. I tried to buy one at Lotus and nobody had the slightest idea what I wanted. Does this stuff exist in Thailand and if so, where can I get it (and even better what's the Thai word for it)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJsushi Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Do those things actually work to the point that you notice a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Says jjsushi: Do those things actually work to the point that you notice a difference? They are very efficient and bring the level of humidity considerably down. I used them for many years in China. I don't know whether they are available in Thailand but in Shanghai and Hongkong they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
