Recommended Travel Adaptor for Palau
We’ve researched widely and tried this adaptor ourselves while travelling, weighing up value, quality, safety and performance — here’s the one we recommend.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Palau is often visited alongside nearby spots like Guam and the Philippines. It’s smart to double-check the adaptor info — they might not use the same plugs.
Sockets in Palau
The plug types you’ll find in Palau are Type A and B 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 B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You might run into problems plugging straight in Panama, as the voltage isn’t the same as the UK’s 230 V. A converter will sort that.
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
Sometimes the simplest bits of kit are the most useful. A luggage scale saves your wallet, a power bank saves your battery, and packing cubes save your sanity when you’re digging through your bag. We’ve tested them, and they’ve quickly become our travel staples.
