From Bangladesh to Myanmar
When travelling from Bangladesh to Myanmar: Some of your Bangladesh plug types fit in Myanmar (A, C, G). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Myanmar
Myanmar uses 230V/50Hz, with an unusually wide variety of socket types (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I), outlets vary by building era and origin.
Grid & history
Myanmar’s grid is hydropower-heavy with growing gas, but capacity falls short of demand. Outages are frequent, especially since the 2021 political crisis.
Availability
Unreliable. Most accommodation has generator or battery backup. Outside Yangon and Mandalay, expect long outages.
Sockets & hotels
Because of mixed colonial, regional, and modern influences, eight different plug types are in use. A genuinely universal adapter is essential.
Energy mix
Hydro-dominated; capacity short of demand.
Practical tips
- A high-quality universal adapter is essential.
- Bring a high-capacity power bank, outages are routine.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
