Travel adapter from South Korea to Myanmar

No Adapter Needed

You will not need a plug adapter — South Korea and Myanmar share at least one common plug shape (Type C, Type F). 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 Myanmar

In Myanmar, the standard power plug is Type A and Type B and Type C and Type D and Type E and Type F and Type G and Type I. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means wall sockets in Myanmar can be one of 8 different shapes — Type A, Type B, Type C, Type D, Type E, Type F, Type G, Type I, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
