I've not seen one like that here, but Safe-T-Cut make an RCD plug that you could fit to a regular power strip:-

Looking at that page the beast has a Shuko plug, somewhat odd if it's actually available here, it's worth having a look at one of their stands in the malls or superstores.

They also do two types of RCD outlet that you could make into a traily using a back box:-

I have the top two devices. The first one I connected to a short pigtail receptacle to use with any plug strip. I used a 3 core cable so it has a earth output as I mated a Schuko earth adapter to the input side.

The second receptacle I have 4 of these installed in outdoor locations as well as in one bathroom area.

Both devices have been installed and used for at least 1 year.

Worth the money I think

Oh, definatly worth the money mate. I forget, for these to work, they have to be grounded to allow somewhere for the dodgy charge to go correct ?

The place in particular I am thinking of is in a condo (hotel) that appears to have no grounding what so ever and only 2 prong felmale plugs aviable.

But, the first one crossy linked to only has 2 prongs in the side pics.

(Come to think of it, I may be thinking of a surge protector thats needs to be ground to work, a saftey switch is just in the line to flik an internal breaker corrct ?)

These devices do NOT need a ground to work correctly.

The plug device has a Schuko type connector, this needs an adaptor to correctly fit in a grounded Thai outlet (and carry the ground through), adaptors look like this:-

They're made by Wonpro and are available in HomePro and other places that distribute Wonpro products.
