Thailand Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Thailand Adapter Plug Kit has the adapters you will need for traveling to all parts of the gorgeous country of Thailand including Bankok, Chon Buri, and Si Racha. The Thailand Deluxe Travel Adapter Kit ships priority mail with tracking and includes a total of four adapters. Thailand adapter plugs allow you to plug your United States appliances and electronics into Thailand wall outlets.  

The Standard Thailand Adapter Set comes with two grounded adapters and the Basic Thailand Adapter Set comes with two non grounded adapters. If you are not certain whether you will need a grounded or a non grounded adapter plug for your trip to Thailand, you can watch Going In Style's Adapter Video featuring grounded and non-grounded adapter plugs. Buy Thailand adapter plugs before your departure. If you wait until you get to Thailand it may be difficult to find where to purchase an adapter plug.

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 make sure your hair dryer, curling iron, electric razor and other appliances are dual voltage before you leave on your trip. Non-grounded adapters may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter. Buy your adapters and converters online before you leave for your trip. It may be difficult to find quality adapters to convert your US plugs to fit in foreign country wall outlets.

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

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Thailand 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, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba 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.

Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.

About Thailand

Geography

Thailand is located Southeastern Asia, bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, southeast of Burma. The area is twice the size of Wyoming. Its climate is tropical; rainy, warm, cloudy southwest monsoon (mid-May to September); dry, cool northeast monsoon (November to mid-March); southern isthmus always hot and humid. The terrain is central plain; Khorat Plateau in the east; mountains elsewhere.

Currency

Currency in Thailand is the Baht (THB). Credit cards and travelers’ cheques are widely accepted throughout Thailand, however smaller establishments might only accept cash. Foreign currency and travelers’ cheques can be exchanged in banks and some hotels.

Thailand has a high quality system, especially in urban areas like Bangkok. There is a fixed line system provided by both a government owned and commercial provider; wireless service is expanding rapidly. When traveling to Thailand you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Thailand SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. 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.

Thailand has 3.278 million internet hosts and over 17.483 million internet users. Internet is available at some hotels and internet cafes located all over Thailand. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
