Travel adapter from Thailand to Saudi Arabia
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Thailand, you will need a travel adapter for Saudi Arabia. Thailand uses Type A/Type B/Type C/Type O plugs, and Saudi Arabia uses Type G, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
