happyfish88 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hi Everyone, I just bought a new cupboard but the aircon switch is mounted onto the wall, i need an electrician to relocate the switch to the side of this cupboard so i can push it all the way against the wall. Any good electrician to recommend? How much would it cost? Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Good electrician is definitely an oxymoron in Thailand. I suggest you use the Gazette guide to find one. Usual more expensive but it's guaranteed to be less somchaish than most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LivinginKata Posted June 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2013 Jobbing electricians will not be interested in such a small job. They have bigger fish to fry. Talk to your landlord and see if they have a handyman who could do that easy job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought a cupboard and the switch on the wall needs moved as he wants to put the cupboard in that location.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansgruber Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 "Good electrician is definitely an oxymoron in Thailand." I marvel at some of the places power points get placed. I've seen some crazy ones in my time here. Some half way up a wall or 3 right next to each other, about 3 foot apart. The exposed wiring for switches is another. Can't they lay it in the walls when building or do they forget and say oops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there you have it in a nutshell Be aware that it is most likely part of your rent agreement that you have to have any modifications approved (or not) by your landlord. You will have to tempt the handyman with enough cash notes to get him out of his corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankBlunt Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Carpenters are easier to find than electricians..............get one to cut a hole in the back panel of the cupboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
