Nahh, I'm not writing from a lower sukhumvit internet cafe ..it's just that...I arrived 2 weeks ago in Bkk, and got problems with my adapter and laptop.

The adapter is overheating quite fast, and the PC sometimes too, especially when using heavy graphical applications or games.

The problem started here, from the first day on, so I feel like there's something wrong with the electricity or outlet ?

Is the electricity standard here maybe slightly different from France or Germany ?

Any solution to fix this ?

buy a laptop cooler http://quadcooler.com/

Mine gets seriously hot as well...so I stopped looking at asian porn.

Nah thanks JapanAmerican, I'll go for the cooler :-D

Bonjour,

the standards are the same, never had any problems with this do far as the summers in France and Germany are equal to Bangkok - up to 40 degrees.

Have a good time there - I will follow soon (in two weeks).

Cheers

Rainer
