Schuko outlet strips are scarcer than hens teeth in LOS but lazada is your friend.

Unfortunately there are devices sold in Thailand with "Euro" plugs.

Do you have these?

They are indeed a mess with the usual sockets here.

It might work better using (cheap) adapters from Euro to flat pins.

Be aware that there are adapters looking similar for Schuko pins to flat pin. Choose the correct type.

2 years ago I found one but forgotten where. Brand name DATA. Data stands for slim pins. It's for 3 plugs only. Prefect plug number. Perfect fit. 3rd pin irrelevant. My post was misleading.
Perhaps the name & photo rings a bell

Electrical supply store on Wualai Road has them.

Now I am totally confused

The "DATA" thing is one of the countless plug sockets that you get about any place.

It's the standard socket layout in Thailand.

I see such at Tesco, Makro, BigC, Tukcom. Name it.

 

Do you want to say that specific "brand" has a better fit than others?

I doubt that it is a "brand" and multiple products come with "DATA" label.

In the first place "DATA" can mean "don't connect high power devices"

 

And be aware: if you plug/unplug often on these sockets they will wear out.

The contact tongues are made from cheap material with low springiness.

After some time you can decide to throw them to the bin or open and "bend" the tongues which will last another while (unplug first of course).

 

Also remarkable: most of these cheapish things come with a 2(!) pin plug attached and so the 3rd pin(hole) (protective earth) is not connected.

Selling such in a nanny state could bring you to prison

One of the countless "DATA" sockets on the market.

You get this virtually everywhere.

They typically have a fuse (next to the cable inlet) to protect from overload and the illuminated switch.

And as written, 2 pin plug, 3 pin sockets

You're right, they're plentiful on offer. May be pure luck that the 3 plug fitted our European pins perfectly. Don't understand given that 80% of Thai plugs are mobile related the market for snuggly pins is huge.

Unfortunately 90%  are fakes. See post #6

The op is making an absurd difficult game about an easy to solve problem.
