Myanmar Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Myanmar, also known as Burma, is located in Southeastern Asia. Myanmar Adapter Plug Set allows you to plug in your North America appliances to Myanmar wall outlets when traveling to this Asia country. A converter may still be necessary when traveling to Asia depending on what appliances you will be bringing.

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. This adapter may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter.

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

Myanmar operates on 230 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, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle. including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

The climate is tropical monsoon; cloudy, rainy, hot, humid summers (southwest monsoon, June to September); less cloudy, scant rainfall, mild temperatures, lower humidity during winter (northeast monsoon, December to April). The terrain consists of central lowlands ringed by steep, rugged highlands.

Currency

Currency in Myanmar is the Kyat (MMK). Credit cards not accepted in Myanmar except at a few hotels in Yangon and Mandalay; it is best to carry cash. There are no ATMs in Myanmar and travelers should plan accordingly. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, hotels and street exchanges. When exchanging money, don’t hand over your currency until you have received and counted the Kyat. When paying for things in US Dollars make sure you check your change.

Staying Connected

Myanmar’s telephone system meets minimum requirements for local and intercity service for business and government. The system is barely capable of providing basic service; mobile-cellular phone system is grossly underdeveloped. Cell phone service in Myanmar is not very good. When travelling to Myanmar you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Myanmar SIM card. You can also purchase a SIM card and phone when you get to Myanmar. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan; however, it is likely no roaming agreements exist with Myanmar. You will need an adapter to charge your phone if you are brining your phone from the US. 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.

There are over 1,033 internet hosts and over 110,000 internet users. Internet access is available at some hotels and internet cafes. Internet can be expensive, slow, and it may be difficult to access your email. When travelling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
