Competent Electrician needed in Ubon Ratchathani

Featured Replies

 

Looking for a competent sparky in Ubon Ratchathani.

I am getting sick and tired of the ones Mrs Tong hires who turn up with a rudimentary set of tools and an obvious lack of knowledge.

The what are to my mind seemingly small repairs apparentlly grow like topsy and appear to have no relevant connection to the problem at hand.

Mrs Tong translates and of course takes the thai side and of course it is thai electricity which is different to any other system in the world and of course I am the know nothing alien.

I do not want the thai version of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels plying their idiocy into my wiring.

It is not a big ask.  WANTED.

                                  Electrician with the relevant certification and a good work ethic.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Suggest you expand on what job you want done by someone, as a building contractor isn't going to pull his 'sparky' off a job to fit a light socket.
Good luck.

Hi.

Started with the bedroom aircon dripping water inside a day or so ago.

They have pulled not only the aircon apart but also the switchboard or where the breaker switches are because there was "no power getting to the aircon" The aircon was working before they pulled it apart apart from the drip. They have now gone and will apparently return tomorrow to reassemble aircon with some part or something that is unexplainable.

I think I will go and live in a mud hut in Africa.

 

This may not work for you, but it did for us. Went to local PEA office, we are in the sticks. Asked if they had an electrician that did "after hours work", yep, sure did. He was working in their planning dept, not on the tools anymore. But, very qualified & his work is as good as I've seen anywhere. Naturally he only works after hours, so emergency call out jobs, he's not the guy. But for rewiring & book ahead work, he's the best.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Malt, That is thinking outside the box. Wonderful suggestion. I will get Mrs. Tong onto that.

Air cons dripping water are a common occurance. Mostly due to very fine dust building up in the pipes. Nothing at all to do with electricity. All that needs doing is for an air-con specialist to come in and suck or blow out all this dust. Give the air-con a thorough cleaning. Then your problem of a dripping air-con will be solved. We now get the air-con company to do a once yearly maintenance check on all our air-cons. Costs range from 500 baht to 1000 baht.
