Good electrician??? Those 2 words are not compatible in Thailand. You will have to do with an electrician.

If I knew of a competent and trustworthy electrician, I would either adopt him, marry him, or --more realistically-- create a company for him and provide the initial funds for him to train new assistants. A vocational program dedicated to residential electrical installation and repair, with an extreme emphasis on safety for the worker and the dweller.

The electrician I used had undergone just that, including day release at a local college. He was worse than useless and has left my wiring in a very dangerous state.

Sorry to hear that. Seems like his instructors didn't know L from N either.

 

I don't think that classroom lecturing would work in my dream plan. Just on-the-job training.

15 years ago my neighbour was a 'qualified' electrician...At his house barbeques he would have an extension lead with all his appliances coming off ...The lead appeared to be 1mm with 4 plugs....

You could try this guy.

He installed a Safe T Cut for me a few years ago and seemed to know what he was doing. I think he was moonlighting from Numchai at the time but I could be wrong.

0895451764 - Bird

He speaks and understands some English.

People tend to keep their Thai tradesmen a secret. You could try Facebook marketplace which will be more fruitful but you'll get farang contacting you also offering help at "not the cheapest" 555

Dow 0853975300 this bloke is excellent otherwise i would n,t recommend him. Has done a few jobs for me that 2 other "Electricians" couldn,t ...he found the problem in 10 minutes as opposed to the others having no clue.

 pretty sure he lives on the Darkside as well.

Does anyone know a first class electrician in Pattaya/Nongprue?

Someone who can run a western style earth in a house..

My nephew in England is an electrician so I can send photos of what is being done to verify good work.

Hoping there is someone out there [ or here] who can recommend a good man

You are aware the electric system here is not intended to be the same as used in UK (ring circuit) so this might be an issue having it reviewed by your nephew?

As I've mentioned previously. Go to your local PEA office. Ask if any of their staff do after hours work. I did this when doing a major reno. A guy in their planning dept was an electrician. Did a whole rewire of our reno. Great work & not too expensive.
