Plugged in on Thai soil
 
Does anyone know if I can use my French blow dryer in Thailand? I know the American dryer won't work. Leaving on Sunday, so I hope to hear from you soon.

I see from another post that you are staying at the Royal Orchid Sheraton in Bangkok. This hotel and others similar to it would have a blow dryer in the bath so you wouldn't have to bring one at all.

Hi craig,
I wasn't asking for Bangkok, but I have rented a house on an island for a week and I don't know if they have a blow dryer. I hope I don't sound too vain and yes, I can live without a dryer if I have to!

Can't help on the voltage side but electrical sockets are 2 pin ( no earthing pin ) so an adaptor should suffice.

You still haven't let us into the secret island name?

most dryers in france are 220 which is the same in thaland...the plug adapter is all you might need a conversion for

The island is off of Phuket called Koh naka Yai. As of recenly there was only a small fishing village and the villa, but there are 3 new resorts in the midst of built. I just hope the weather will be nice the first week of May.
