What kindof power converter do I need for thailand? |
Travel Info What kindof power converter do I need for thailand? Travel Tips Thailand uses 220volts at 50 cycles. You likely will need an adaptor for wall outlet as well. You should be able to get this in most travel bag stores. *In Thailand, most outlets take round, two prong terminals but some will take flat two-bladed terminals and some other will take both. Others Depends what power requirement your equipment has that you want to use here. Thailand has 220 VAC 50 Hz It may drop to 180 VAC at times depending where you are. thailand uses 220 volts. if you're staying in a hotel, you can request a converter through their housekeeping Answers provided, especially by The_Mouse, just to add, most of the major hotels do have 110VAC outlet for shaver and low load appliances. I spent 5 months in Thailand this winter and had no need for a converter the entire time. Everything I brought with me (laptop, cell phone, pda, router, and other misc items) were rated to take up to 220 volts. Every outlet I saw took their round and our flat style plugs so everything plugged right in and worked. The biggest group of items that won't work on 220 are bathroom items such as shavers, blow dryers, and curling irons. If you do decide to buy one anyway make sure it is an actual power converter and not just an adapter. An adapter will allow you to plug in your item but will still give it 220 volts. A converter has an internal transformer to lower the voltage down to 110v. |
