Great. Problem solved! Half of the electrics that I use here I brought from Japan with it's 100v rating. Thailand is 240v. In every shop specializing in travel accessories, and of course at the shops in the airports one can buy a voltage converter for under $10 for a 300 watt one the size of two packs of cigarettes. And for lights you only need low wattage. I keep a high watt converter (500 watt) in the kitchen for my food processor and blender, and a low watt converter with my tools. I also have a 1000 watt converter that I used to use with an AirStream Oven, and that one weighs a ton and is the size of a shoe box! I've used these for years, and they've saved me a lot of money (when I remember to use them... Otherwise they cost me a fortune!)
