From French Polynesia to Gambia
When travelling from French Polynesia to Gambia: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Gambia. You will need a travel adapter. 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.
