Power Plug Info for Asia

Hi I'd like to know what type of power plugs they use in Thailand/Vietnam for electrical applications?

Ie is it the European Style, Australian/NZ or American style power plug?

For Thailand it's the American style, flat blade as well as the round pin. For the other countries check this web site: http://www.exportassistance.com/expo...ric_plugs.html

Hanuman,

On the above website which letter does that correspond to?

I come from Aust with I type plugs (oblique flat blades with earth)

In Thailand is it Type B?

Is it the same in Cambodia?

Rhonda, B(without the earth) & C will both work in Thailand as most electrical plugs will accept both. Cambodia is pretty much the same.

The Aussie "I" type will not work anywhere in Asia.
