Which electrical plugs are used in Thailand?
I'm living in the Netherlands. I'm going on a holiday to Thailand. I need to know which electrical plug is used over there?
A European one? or like the one in the States? or something else?
Best Answer
Wikipedia has an article on all plugs used in all countries, with a table for comparison.
Or for a picture version (albeit comparing them to Australian plugs, but at least it shows you) - this will show you what they look like.
Basically, international outlet/plug types A and C, and they run at 220V/50Hz.
Coming from the Netherlands, you will need an adaptor.

Do I need to bring an adapter to Thailand?
Voltage converter needed in Thailand? In Thailand the standard voltage is 220 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You cannot use your electric appliances in Thailand without a voltage converter, because the standard voltage in Thailand (220 V) is higher than in the United States of America (120 V).Is Thailand a US or EU plug?
Your power plugs are similar to the ones used in Thailand. European two rounded pins can fit in most of the electrical outlets in Thailand. You don't also need a voltage converter because most countries in Europe operate at 220-240 Volts, similar to Thailand.Is Thailand plug same as UK?
No, UK plugs with three flat prongs won't work in Thailand. You will need a uk to thailand power adaptor to use your UK appliances. On the bright side, your appliances will work without the need for a power converter, as they use almost the same voltage (240v) as Thailand (220v).Thailand Tips: Electrical mains power AC sockets
