Thailand Power Plugs (2-flat-prong/C/O), 230V Voltage & Tap Water Safety Guide

Why Thai hybrid outlets accept both US flat-prong and EU round-pin plugs at 230V/50Hz, plus tap water vs. bottled water and 7-Eleven ice rules.

Power Sockets (230V / 50Hz) & Drinking Water

Thailand's hybrid wall sockets accept two-flat-prong North American two-flat-prong plugs and two-round-pin European plugs (Type C/O) directly, while UK/Singapore (Type G) and Australian (Type I) plugs need a simple adapter. Check your devices in our Thailand Plug & 230V Checker.

Do Not Drink Tap Water: Brush your teeth with tap water in major hotels or use bottled water (฿7–฿14 at any 7-Eleven). Restaurant and street-stall tube ice (with the hole in the center) is factory-purified and safe.
