My laptop charger died in a Chiang Mai cafe and I had to figure it out fast
It happened last Tuesday at a spot called Sticky Rice Coffee. My screen went black at 12% battery right before a client call. I asked the barista if they had a spare, but no luck. I ended up buying a universal charger from a shop down the street for about 900 baht, which got me through. What's your go-to plan when your main gear fails in a new city?

Man that's the worst feeling, especially right before a call. Did the universal charger end up working okay, or was it kind of sketchy? I always pack a portable power bank now as my emergency backup, but even that's failed me a couple times.

Ugh those universal chargers are so hit or miss, @kai602. Honestly just started carrying two cables and a tiny wall adapter, takes up no space. The power bank thing is smart but yeah, they die at the worst times too.
