Sockets in Hoi An
Hoi An uses Type A, C, and D plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
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 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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Hoi An
We researched widely and tested on real journeys. In this destination, multiple adaptors are necessary, as one alone won’t fit every socket. Here are the best options for safety and performance.
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.
Hoi An is usually part of a trip that also includes Cambodia and Thailand. It’s worth checking the adaptor info — not every country in the region uses the same setup.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Hoi An; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
Do check the voltage label on your kit before you travel. If it states ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re safe to use it without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
