As far as I was aware this type of plug was banned in Thailand a couple of years ago as the sockets into which they fit are not the norm here. However, I purchased an electrical appliance in Homepro today and sure enough it was fitted with this type of plug. I appreciate that the plug may be removed and replaced with a (non) standard 3 pin plug (they are available). However, the offending plug can be fitted with a screwed third pin quite easily. Homepro don't have any such screwed pins (and hadn't a clue what I was talking about) and neither do any other specialist electrical retailers that I know of in Surin. In the past I've asked in a multitude of electrical shops in Bangkok and a friend has also researched Pattaya but to no avail.
I shall be researching the workshops in Surin in an effort to find one that will make a suitable stainless steel screw in pin. If I am lucky, would anyone else care to purchase some?
