From Philippines to Solomon Islands
When travelling from Philippines to Solomon Islands: None of your Philippines plug types fit in Solomon Islands. 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.
