Will my US laptop work in Phuket, Thailand?

by Travel Guru on April 27, 2009

I know the hotel in Thailand has 220V 50A but I don't know if the plug will fit in the socket. My computer power supply says 110-240V 50-60Hz. Does anyone know if this will work properly?

You can compare hotel rates on Ooaha

The computer will be fine, the converter part is all built in there.
What you will likely need is a wall plug adapter. The kind where you put the end of you plug into another small plug with 2 round prongs.
For Phuket, I advise that you get a surge protector. They're at Radio Shack for about $20. There are a lot of thunderstorms, and sometimes the powers supply does go out unceremoniously.
Better safe than sorry, I never charge my computer without one.
I hope you enjoy your trip!
