What type of plug adapter do I need for US devices in Thailand?

Duncan *******

This is a standard Thai powerpoint. Older places may not support Type B - US three-pin then you need a three-pin to two-pin converter. As long as your device can accept 220 volts which most modern electronics will (things like hairdryers won't), you will be fine.

The whole point of COVID extensions was for people who were having trouble returning home - it was never meant as a way to stay here long term when you can get on a plane and leave. Be grateful that you were able to get one.
