Handyman

Definition

A versatile tradesman who performs minor repairs and routine maintenance of a dwelling: basic plumbing, standard electrical work, painting, light carpentry, furniture assembly, air conditioning servicing. In Thailand, a handyman is typically charged hourly (300–500 THB/h at local rates, 600–900 THB/h at expatriate rates) or on a daily flat rate (2,500–4,500 THB). For expatriates, using a verified service avoids common scams (phantom quotes, overcharging, poor workmanship).
