Myanmar Plugs, outlets & travel adapters
Myanmar uses Type A, C, D, F, G and I sockets. The mains supply is 230 V at 50 Hz.
Plugbert's take 6 plug types! Myanmar collects sockets the way some people collect fridge magnets.
Do you need a travel adapter for Myanmar?
It depends on where your plugs come from.
🇺🇸 From the United States
Some plugs from the United States fit the Type A, C, D, F, G and I sockets in Myanmar and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 2 of the 6 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type D (Indian 3-pin) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
Myanmar uses 230 V, much higher than the 120 V in the United States. An input rating of "100–240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. For single-voltage devices, follow the manufacturer's guidance on conversion; using a suitable local device may be simpler.

Your plugs fit some compatible outlets in Myanmar, but not every listed socket design. An adapter may be needed for the outlet you encounter. Check the actual outlet and preserve any grounding your device requires; hybrid connections may not be grounded.
No voltage converter needed. Both countries use 230 V.

Will your devices work in Myanmar?
Sockets in Myanmar supply 230 V. Find the "input" line on each device or its charger. An input rating of "100–240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. Check that the input frequency also covers 50 Hz. An adapter changes the plug shape, not the voltage or frequency. For switchable devices, follow the manufacturer's instructions before plugging in.
Often rated 100–240 V; confirm on the charger: phone charger, laptop charger, camera battery charger.
Check the label first: electric toothbrush, electric shaver, CPAP machine, hair straightener / curler.
Usually single voltage: hair dryer, kettle / coffee maker, anything with a heating element.
