Travel adapter from Philippines to Thailand
No Adapter Needed
You will not need a plug adapter — Philippines and Thailand share at least one common plug shape (Type A, Type B, Type C). The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
