Electricity, Adapters & Charging in Bangkok

Updated 2026 · Totally Bangkok

Thailand uses 220V/50Hz — what you need to bring and what you can buy locally.

Voltage

Thailand is 220V/50Hz — the same as UK, Europe, and Australia; different from the US (110V); most modern electronics (phones, laptops) are auto-switching 100–240V.

Plug types

Thailand uses Type A (two flat pins, US-style) and Type C (two round pins, European-style); most Thai sockets accept both; UK visitors need a basic adapter.

Buying adapters

Multi-plug travel adapters available at airports (150–300 THB) and 7-Eleven stores (80–150 THB) — much cheaper than airport shops.

Power banks

Essential in Bangkok heat — phone battery drains fast with maps, GPS, translation apps; 10,000 mAh power bank covers 1–2 full charges; bring or buy locally (300–600 THB).
