Thailand in-houses wiring to sockets is standard #16 dual
wire. Only recently have they put 3-wire in homes.
The other day, I saw a welder being run via a 60 ft.
length of #16 zip cord. I left before seeing if it melted.
Why not buy some of that $100 per foot MONSTER WIRE
sold for speaker runs to uninformed people.....
