Travel adapter from Saudi Arabia to Thailand

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Saudi Arabia, you will need a travel adapter for Thailand. Saudi Arabia uses Type G plugs, and Thailand uses Type A/Type B/Type C/Type O, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. 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.

More about plugs in Thailand

In Thailand, the standard power plug is Type A and Type B and Type C and Type O. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means wall sockets in Thailand can be one of 4 different shapes — Type A, Type B, Type C, Type O, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
