Grounded electric is not yet a standard here. Most appliances only have 2 prongs, like the following example shows. This two pronged plug has a position to add a ground, and it can easily be modified by adding a round piece of metal as the ground. This isn't the only type of plug, there are many variations, from the round posts to straight posts. As of the current date most house electrical is not grounded, but that is slowly changing. To turn on the electric service now an inspector from the electric company will require grounded electric, but the inspection I observed wasn't very thorough. The inspector only asked about how the system was grounded, but did not check. There are simple voltage meters which can check voltage as well as the ground. Also, the same inspector then immediately approved a house that I know doesn't have grounded electric. Anyway, the point is that they are starting to require grounded electrical here and there really isn't any reason for new construction not to have it. As an added note to clarify: they are not requiring that all (or any) socket outlets in the house be grounded, only that there be a ground connection from the breaker.dozerSep 28, 2011

This is a large socket box with 5 grounded receptacles and a phone cable outlet. These are configurable, you can get many different face boxes and configure each one as you would like it. Further there are many styles which can be purchased. The middle sockets in the example shown here don't add much benefit, since the sockets are so close together not all can be used at the same time.dozerSep 28, 2011

Electric meter after installation. The prep work must be done by an electrician and then the electric department will come and check it. If it is OK they will hook up the meter. (21-Aug-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

With a new housing development, outside electric will need to be run into the development by the electric department, as in this example. This road was given to the county, ie. it is now a public road, but the installation must still be paid by private funds. In this example, the cost for the project (for the entire street) was 35,000 Baht. (12-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
