Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in South Korea and Myanmar, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

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.
