In Indonesia, they use Type C and F plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Indonesia. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

Sockets in Indonesia
Indonesia uses Type C and F plugs and sockets.
Type C

Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type F

Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.

Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Indonesia is often combined with nearby countries like Singapore and Malaysia. Plug types and voltage might differ, so it’s worth having a look before you go.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Indonesia the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Before you power up your device abroad, glance at the voltage label. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you’re good to go without a converter, which is common for modern kit.
