Sockets in Myanmar
Myanmar uses Type C, D, F, and G 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 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 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.
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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Myanmar
Choosing the wrong adaptor can leave you powerless. For this country there isn’t one adaptor that covers everything — you’ll need a couple. We’ve researched and tested thoroughly, and these are the ones to bring.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Myanmar is often combined with trips to Thailand and India. It’s smart to check plug types — standards aren’t always consistent across borders.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You won’t need a converter in Myanmar, as the mains voltage is basically the same as at home in the UK.
Double-check your device’s voltage label when travelling. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you won’t need a converter, which is the case for most up-to-date electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
If you’re looking to travel smarter, these are the items to bring. A luggage scale makes sure your bag isn’t tipping the limits, a power bank gives your gadgets a second life, and packing cubes make living out of a suitcase easy. They’re small, affordable, and seriously handy.
