Do I Need An Adapter For My Electronics in Cambodia?
Cambodia uses Type A, C, and G electrical outlets with a standard voltage of 230V at 50Hz. Most North American travelers will need a plug adapter, though not necessarily a voltage converter for modern electronics.
Type A outlets (two flat parallel pins) are commonly found in hotels and will work with standard North American plugs. Type C (European two-pin) and Type G (British three-pin) outlets are also used, particularly in newer and luxury hotels.
Most modern electronics—laptops, phone chargers, camera chargers, tablets—are designed for 100-240V and will work with just a plug adapter. Check the label on your charger; if it says "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz," you only need an adapter, not a converter. Hair dryers and curling irons that run on fixed voltage (typically 120V) will require a voltage converter.
A universal travel adapter that covers Types A, C, and G is the most versatile choice. Quality adapters are available at airports and travel stores before departure. Hotels can often lend adapters, but having your own ensures convenience.
