Recommended Travel Adaptor for Indonesia
We’ve looked at everything — safety, reliability, cost, functionality and how well they actually perform in practice — and this adaptor clearly stood out.
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.
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.
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.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
The right travel gear can save you money, stress, and time. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at check-in, a power bank keeps your phone ready for maps and tickets, and packing cubes make it easy to find what you need. We recommend them because they work.
