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.

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.
