Laos - power plug and socket
In Laos , electrical sockets and plugs are type A, B, C, E or
F. Type
A has two flat
parallel pins, type
B has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin, type
C has two round pins, type
E has two round
pins and a hole for the socket's male earthing pin and type
F has two round
pins with two earth clips on the side.
In country Laos is voltage 230 V and the voltage frequency is 50 Hz.
If the voltage in your country is between 220V - 250V (as is in the Europe, Australia and most of
Asia) you can use your equipment. If your devices are only made for 100V - 127V (as is in the US,
Canada and most South American countries) you cannot use them and you will need a voltage converter
or a voltage converter with a type A, B,
C, E or F
adapter. If the voltage frequency in your country is different from Laos (230 V), some devices may
not work properly.
Check the markings on the device before traveling. Each electrical device has a label (often on the
charger) stating at which volt range and frequency it works - example “INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz”.
If this range is also in the target country, you do not need a voltage converter, just check the
type of socket / plug. More information about
the voltage converter can be found here.
