From French Polynesia to Bangladesh
When travelling from French Polynesia to Bangladesh: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Bangladesh (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is 230V/50Hz with Type A, C, G, and M sockets, outlet types vary widely by building.
Grid & history
Bangladesh’s grid expanded rapidly in the 2010s, reaching most of the population. Natural gas dominates generation; coal and growing solar make up most of the rest. Outages still occur during peak summer demand.
Availability
Reliable in Dhaka and Chittagong; rural and small-town outages common during peak load.
Sockets & hotels
Bring a universal adapter, outlets of all four types coexist depending on building era.
Energy mix
Gas-dominated; solar growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering A, C, G, and M is the safest choice.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
