Conduit: wide angle bend336 viewsAlthough Thai electricians will rarely use conduit in the roof space, they will if you insist. Conduit is made of PVC pipe similar to the blue water pipe. To make the diference clear, electrical conduit id coloured YELLOW. It is available in the same sizes as PVC water pipe from 3/8" (sam hun) up. All the normal connectors, T, elbows, and WIDE RADIUS BENDS are produced.

Conduit is so cheap it's not worth cuting corners on.
