มีแบตสำรองไหมครับ / คะ
Mi bàet sǎmrong mǎi khráp / khá

Usage
แบตสำรอง (spare battery) is the everyday Thai word for a power bank; the loanword พาวเวอร์แบงก์ also works. Rental stands are common in 7-Eleven stores, malls, and BTS stations
Grammar Note
แบต (baet) is the clipped form of แบตเตอรี่ used in speech. สำรอง (samrong) = spare/backup, as in ยางสำรอง (spare tyre). มี…ไหม is the standard "do you have …?" pattern. Women use the high-tone particle คะ in questions and the falling-tone ค่ะ in statements; RTGS spells both as kha

Châo bàet sǎmrong dâi mǎi khráp / khá

แบตหมดแล้วครับ / ค่ะ
Bàet mòt láeo khráp / khâ
My phone is out of battery
Usage
The most natural way to say your phone has died. Follow up with ชาร์จได้ไหม (may I charge it?) at a cafe or hotel

ขอใช้ปลั๊กไฟได้ไหมครับ / คะ
Khǒ chái plák fai dâi mǎi khráp / khá
May I use the power outlet?
Usage
A polite way to ask for power at a cafe or restaurant. Thailand runs on 220V/50Hz with hybrid sockets accepting both Type A and Type C plugs, so Japanese plugs fit — but check your device supports 220V
Grammar Note
ขอ + verb + ได้ไหม is the polite pattern for asking permission, softer than ขอ alone. ปลั๊ก (plak) covers both the socket and the plug; context decides which
ขอยืมสายชาร์จหน่อยได้ไหมครับ / คะ
Khǒ yuem sǎi chât nòi dâi mǎi khráp / khá
Could you lend me a charging cable?
Usage
Use at a hotel front desk or cafe. Specify the connector as หัว Type-C or หัว iPhone. Cheap cables are also sold at convenience stores
Grammar Note
สาย (sai) means line or cable, as in สายไฟ (power cord). Adding หน่อย (noi) to a request softens it to "just a little", and Thai speakers use it constantly
ชาร์จแบตได้ที่ไหนครับ / คะ
Chât bàet dâi thî nǎi khráp / khá
Where can I charge this?
Usage
Ask where you can charge up. Airports, malls, and larger cafes usually have free outlets you can use. BTS and MRT stations, by contrast, have almost no free power — what you find there are paid power bank rental stands such as ChargeSPOT
Grammar Note
verb + ได้ที่ไหน means "where can I …?". Thai keeps ที่ไหน at the end of the sentence rather than fronting it like English "where"
มีปลั๊กแปลงไหมครับ / คะ
Mi plák plaeng mǎi khráp / khá
Do you have a plug adapter?
Usage
Use at a hotel front desk. Thai hybrid sockets already accept Type A and Type C plugs, so Japanese plugs fit without an adapter; British three-pin (Type G) devices do need one
Grammar Note
แปลง (plaeng) = to convert. Do not confuse ปลั๊กแปลง (plug shape adapter) with หม้อแปลงไฟ (a voltage transformer). The loanword อะแดปเตอร์ is also understood
