Can I use my devices in Cambodia?
The local supply in Cambodia is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Cambodia is home to the magnificent temple complex of Angkor Wat, one of the world's great archaeological sites, alongside the Mekong River, coastal beaches and a history that demands reflection.
There, the main plug types A, C and G are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Cambodia uses type A, C and G sockets, and the type you encounter depends on the age and style of the accommodation. In some guesthouses sockets are loosely mounted, so avoid heavy or bulky adapter blocks and use a lighter universal adapter instead.
