Information on the Type O plug & presa
The type O socket hybrid version of this socket was designed to accommodate plug types A, B, C and O. In the long run, compatibility with American plugs is planned to be phased out, since the electrical network in Thailand operates at 230 V. For now, type O outlets only exist on paper. All sockets that are currently sold are hybrid ones, which are compatible with types plug types A, B, C, and O.
Although they look similar, type O plugs are not interchangeable with the Israeli type H or the Danish type K power plugs. Tuttavia, there is very unsafe compatibility between type O sockets and type E/F plugs, which is why in 2008, the Thai government banned the sale of appliances fitted with E/F plugs.
When used in Thailand, an E/F plug will not be grounded, and when such a plug is partially pulled out, you will be able to touch the prongs while they are still alive! Since many Thai people still have household appliances fitted with E/F plugs, a special plug adapter was introduced. It ensures that E/F plugs are earthed when plugged into a Thai hybrid outlet.
