"a 2.4 metre local ground rod and front end RCBO in order to pass the inspection for a permanent supply." ??????????

I put 3 poles at around 75 cms. from each other and connected them together. That should be enough as earth and left the zero completely separated. I have had never problems anymore in more than 10 years!

Unfortunately, lots of these "electricians" don't know what they are doing! Sorry to hear that you have paid so much! I have everything "made" in the ceiling but I cannot reach it anymore because I don't have tiles! The circuits I could reach near the main fuses I cut and wired around the house. As my first message: I cut the 0 and earth connection and made 3 earth poles outside, I placed an earth breaker, a safety switch apart from the "normal" breakers. And I disconnected the zero and the earth!

Thank you all! In fact I only wanted to show how the Thai are working with electricity and accepting everything!

Thanks Johng! Yes, I cut a real Schuko plug already to connect it! I know that Homepro doesn't has all Schuko related things but once I found there a Schuko plug..................

YES, that's what I mean! A Schuko power plug with TWO wires! I am NOT crazy!

So, that's a Schuko plug that needs a Schuko socket to connect ground. Or, are you just trying to do a wind-up?
Yes, connect the earth with two wires?

Looking for an earthed cable I found this one: Thai (Chinese?) technics! ????

10 Years ago I discovered in my renovated house that the “electricians” were using the earth combined with the zero line. Once when I measured the zero in my house, connecting to the earth pole I made in the garden I discovered a quit big current which could be from my house but also from the neighbors as the zero isn’t real earthed on every street pole!
I redid the electricity, I made three earth poles in the garden, quit far separated, and that was it!A second discovery was that I bought an expensive Mitsubishi refrigerator and I saw that the plug didn’t had an earth! I changed it onto an earth plug.
Now 10 years later I bought a Sharp refrigerator and…….the same, unearthed, plug! The people who were bringing the fridge said only to wait 2 hours with connecting the fridge.
They, of course, didn’t say something about the earth because that’s my business!
The manual was completely in Thai, but I found in the fridge a small paper with………..a well known green/yellow, thin, wire and a ring to connect it to the fridge and the other end was a part not isolated to connect it to an earth rod or copper pipe.
I cannot imagine that all people are doing this!This is the way the Thai are still working with electricity!

It may take less time at the Spanish embassy than dealing with the Thai bureaucracy.
You are 100% right, but they said, by telephone, when you are Dutch you have to go to the Dutch Embassy! The Spanish Consulate accepted my address without problem and proof; you must see what the Dutch are asking!!!!!!

Do you need to prove Bangkok or Thailand. If Thailand, it seems a copy of your passport with current visa, notarized at the Spanish Embassy in Bangkok, should be enough for a Spanish bank.
It is "only" that I'm living that day!

Antoniuni,
why not simply go to the Dutch Embassy and they will give you a statement, most likely in English if you ask for it?
This is one of the services embassies do to all their citizens. I do it by the Norwegiab Embassy and they do this for 1500 baht. Seems to be a standard fee. You can use this statement for anything like Immigration, Thai banks and probably also for your Spanish bank
Hahaha! Than you don't know the Dutch officials! 1.They ask me to proof that I'm Dutch, 2. My address, 3. my passport and 4. my mariage certification!
Years ago I did it still with the Dutch Embassy and a man asked me very grumpy if I needed the certificate really in English! I paid a lot of money.
I went afterwards for some years to the Spanish Embassy, I showed my passport and they gave me free of charge the proof in English. But now they say when you are Dutch you have to go to the Dutch Embassy!

It satisfied the bank's request for proof of foreign address though. They haven't asked me to prove I'm not dead (yet).
No, they have been asked from the Spanish welfare (pension) if I'm living every half year like the Dutch are asking it every year from the SSO which is far easier and cost nothing!

I once had a contract to teach the staff at Unicaja and they were amiable. But the other banks in Spain are crap for sure.

Unless you have a current report slip they will not do the certificate for you.
The 2000 baht fine would pay for a lot of 90 day reports by mail. Or free by doing them online.
Thank you ubonjoe!

At Chaeng Wattana they will not ask for what he wrote about since they already have your records from 90 day reporting.
The fee is 200 baht and that includes sending it to you by EMS.
I must admit that I never report myself every 90 days! I pay the fine (2000 Baht) when I come for the yearly visa! ?

You can get a Certificate of Residency from Thai Immigration. You will need a copies of your wife's ID card, house book, your passport and a photo. Cost about 500 baht depending on what office you go too. Takes about 10 minutes.
Ohhhh, yeah! I have to report myself in the housebook! Than I let the page translate and I go to the Embassy!
-
No NanLaew, it's a "local" (Catalan) bank, so no documentation. I have (had) by the way already enough problems with them!
Your (Thai) driving license is by the way not a proof that you are "living" to-day!
Well, I think the best thing to do is go to Emigration.
-
THANK you ubonjoe and Rdrokit!
-
THANK you! I am afraid that they don't do that in English; during the first one, years ago, they grumbled already that I needed the paper in English.....................
-
No, the house is "mine", so from my wife! I am already living there 13 years and I got the proof always from the Spanish consulate but they said now I'm Dutch: go to the Dutch Embassy!
It isn't for a local bank but for a Spanish bank.
-
Can somebody inform me where I can get a paper where I am living in Bangkok? Although I am Dutch it's not for the Dutch pension, so not SSO! But for the Spanish bank!

BE CAREFUL wit Chevrolet! My wife had her car damaged badly by someone ignoring the red traffic light on September 3 2017 and she is still struggling to get her car repaired back after more than 3 months!

Thanks for your answer Crossy! But this "inspection" is 100% useless! I was living in several houses and even one house had an earth connection from the contacts but............no earth cable to outside! And when you see my photo about the manufactured earthed power plug with two cables: disgusting!
