From Bonaire to Suriname
When travelling from Bonaire to Suriname: Some of your Bonaire plug types fit in Suriname (A, B). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 110V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 110V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
