Bangladesh Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

The Going In Style Deluxe Bangladesh Adapter Plug Kit comes with six adapter plugs and includes both grounded and non-grounded plugs.  As always, Going In Style Deluxe Adapter Kits ship Priority Mail with tracking so you will have your adapters to you before your trip.

The Going In Style Bangladesh Standard Adapter Plug Kit comes with three grounded adapters.  The Going In Style Basic Bangladesh Adapter Kit comes with three non-grounded adapters.

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into Bangledesh electrical power outlets. Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Check to see whether your appliance is dual voltage before leaving on your trip.

Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dua / multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Be sure to check each individual appliance to see if it is dual voltage.  You can watch Going In Style's video on how to check to see if your appliance is dual voltage.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Bangladesh operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

About Bangladesh

Geography

Bangladesh is located in Southern Asia, bordering the Bay of Bengal, between Burma and India and its area is slightly smaller than Iowa. The climate is tropical; mild winter (October to March); hot, humid summer (March to June); humid, warm rainy monsoon (June to October). The terrain is mostly flat alluvial plain; hilly in southeast. Most of the country is situated on deltas of large rivers flowing from the Himalayas.

Currency

The currency is Bangladesh Taka (BDT). Major credit cards are not widely accepted. Travelers’ checks can be exchanged at the airport and in some banks and foreign currency can be exchanged in most banks.

Staying Connected

Bangladesh has an inadequate telephone system for a modern country. Mobile coverage is limited. You will need to have an unlocked cell phone with a Bangladesh SIM card to make mobile calls You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage. To make calls to Bangladesh the international country code is +880.

Bangladesh has 69,285 internet hosts and over 617,300 internet users in Bangladesh. Internet is available at hotels and internet cafes, but the connection can be slow. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
