Recommended Travel Adaptor for Galle
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
Galle is commonly visited together with destinations like the Maldives and India. Plug systems may vary, so it’s worth checking before you go.
Sockets in Galle
Galle uses Type D and G plugs and sockets.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Galle it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Before charging abroad, glance at the mains label: ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ confirms it’ll run safely without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the small things that make the biggest difference on a trip. A luggage scale gives you peace of mind at the airport, a power bank means you’re never left with a dead phone, and packing cubes keep everything in order. We’ve tried them ourselves, and they’ve proved their worth again and again.
