Australian to Thailand Power Plug (Trying to Find One That Is Not a Universal Plug Just a Simple AU to TH Plug)

AlienC on 20/03/2024 - 09:03

Need to buy 2-3 for a friend so seeing what is the cheapest but still safest option out there.

He does not want universal adapter plug because it is too heavy/thus unsafe and sometimes so big it blocks the power outlet.

So it is Australian plug in Thailand plug out.

I believe he is going to use it for a rice cooker and possibly a charger not sure but he specifically does not want a universal adapter.

Strictly AU in TH out.. or AU female TH male power plug.. I think I got that right.

It is for use in Thailand.

Apparently Temu does not have the flat blade plug and Amazon is currently unavailable we were looking all night.

    Try Bunnings. Got one at Caloundra QLD for $5 about 8 weeks ago. Wasn't on their website but was on special in-store.

    Pretty sure Thailand uses the 2 prongs? I could be wrong

      What plug sockets are used in Thailand? For Thailand there are four associated plug types, types A, B and C. Plug type A is the plug which has two flat parallel pins, plug type B has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin and plug type C has two round pins. Thailand operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.

      I found this

      basically they use both the two flat parallel pins and two round pins but one of their types also has a grounding pin.. that is interesting having flat and round outlets

    I have used these adapters with no issues.
    For non-Heymix options (yes, I understand), there are plenty of alternatives on eBay for about $12-14 per piece example.

    Does your friend's rice cooker have detachable cable? If so, they could also just get a corresponding power cable for Thailand.

    Australian plugs squeeze into the Thai plug socket on the wall very easily

    I usually take a decent sized power board I'm just connect that to the wall and then use that to connect my appliances to the electricity supply

    I have been doing this for 13 years and never had a problem. I do carry a couple of travel plugs just in case but I've really used them over there

    This is what i do and i go to Thailand often

    WHICH Thai plug? Like China, Thailand is a mish-mash, with types B and C common, and others used.

    If using an adapter, the ones with an earth pin are more secure, even if your appliance is not grounded.
    When moving, a great idea is to take an Australian powerboard or two. (e.g. from Bunnings), and fit a proper local plug on arrival.

    Idiots like this have caused many hostel fires and probably deaths. The fact that I may have done this in my youth does not alter my opinion.

    Don't buy from AliExpress or Temu as most likely AU/NZ non certified and fire hazard. Kmart sells one at $6. If you have multiple things to be powered on, combo the plug adapter with AU power board with number of sockets depend on your situation.

    $6 EU Kmart adapter paired with either a $3 double adapter or a $15 4 to 6 outlets powerboard, depending on your travel charging needs.

    Australian plugs fit in Thai sockets, so no need for an adaptor.
    You do have to wiggle/force it in there a bit but it fits.
