Do I need a plug adapter when going to Thailand?

You need to bring a plug adapter.

The rated voltage in Thailand is 220V, and the socket type is as shown below

The domestic socket type is as shown below

As you can see from the picture, the two flat plugs can be inserted directly Into the socket in Thailand. However, electrical appliances with three flat plugs cannot be used directly in Thailand, and a plug converter must be used.

So it is still necessary to prepare a travel adapter. Directly push out the two flat prongs, insert the conversion plug into the Thai socket, and then insert the three-flat plug of the domestic electrical appliance into the national standard three-phase socket of the conversion socket, so that you can use the three-flat plug.

Plug converter is called conversion socket in electricians. The plug on one side is called the male, and the socket on the other side is called the female. It is an electrical product that needs to be used when traveling abroad. Since each country has different socket standards, it serves as a connection conversion between plugs and sockets in different countries or regions, allowing electrical appliances to smoothly obtain power. Therefore, people usually refer to this type of conversion socket as a plug adapter. Currently popular plug converters generally do not have the function of changing voltage.
