Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from United Kingdom to Thailand?
Yes. Thailand uses Type A/B/C/O sockets, which United Kingdom plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

Thailand runs at 220V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
