What kind of electrical plug adapter for Myanmar and Thailand?

Will be traveling through Burma and Thailand and started wondering what adapters I will need to plug into the outlets? I have a assorted adapters used in other countries and would like to be confident that I'm bringing the right one with the right prongs. Thanks

Most hotels will have electrical adaptors you can borrow. You will find a number of different kinds of outlets in Burma. We always carry a couple of universal adaptors like this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...+e%2Caps%2C333

Take a plug board (maybe with surge protector incorporated?)
and an International adapter
These are the sockets you are liable to see-in some hotels there are even two varieties adjacent.

Myanmar is a country with a, let's say, interesting power system. Four (!) different power sockets are in use so you will be needing a power plug adapter. Best to get a universal one. Make sure it has power surge protection as power surges are quite common in Myanmar. This website serves as a great guide to find out if (and what) adapter you need: https://world-power-plugs.com/myanmar
