I dunno what it is about Thai's and having a ground connection installed.

 

When we built our house I literally had to stand over the electrician to ensure he pulled ground wires and a copper spike, since he just wouldn't accept why I wanted it.

 

Not sure what they teach them in trade school!

They attend trade school?

 

Could've fooled me.

  • what trade school, 

  • You are thinking of an RCD or RCBO, readily available from the big DIY places or Lazada. If you post a photo of the CU we can suggest a way forwards.   BUT   These will (probably)

Do they have plugs like this?

Yes.

I bought an extension lead set the plug was 3 pin and the sockets were 3 pin the cable had only 2 cables. ????

Yes.

Then the are earthed Schuko plugs, that you don’t have the corresponding Schuko sockets and that they can be plugged into 2 pin non earthed sockets is a completely different matter.

 

It is also completely possible that they are for double insulated items and don’t require the earth connection.

Run your own ground from the adaptor for sensitive device
