Do you mean current? What is it you want to know? I'm in Burma now.
It's called 220 but, after watching a guage attached to our AC unit in Mandalay for 2 days, it seemed never to reach that voltage, fluctuated wildly all the time. We've charged batteries on US devices successfully and, so far, without apparent incident.
2 pin adaptors are usual but there have also been 3 pin UK-like outlets. Some are configured to take 2 or 3 kinds in the same outlet. The one beside me now takes 2 pin, 3 (UK) and US 2 pin. All have worked for me but bring adaptors as what's available changes with the location.
What else?

Current!! Apologies and Mme. Perdu, thanks for your detailed response! We have both two-prong and three-prong adaptors and will bring both.
Kathie, after Hurricane Sandy we were without power for five nights and four days and did just fine. We were so much luckier than so many here in NYC and the tri-state area! Frequent electricity cuts won't be a problem.

THis is a good link:
http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advi...ity-guide.html
Scroll to the very bottom of the page and you'll see Burma uses Type C, D, F and G outlets (there are illustrations below the chart as well for reference)
It's the G outlets that are tricky. You'll probably need two types of adapters (2 pin for C, D, and F -- and 3 pin for G.)
