From Thailand to Sweden
When travelling from Thailand to Sweden: Some of your Thailand plug types fit in Sweden (C). 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 Sweden
Sweden uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F sockets across the country.
Grid & history
Sweden’s grid evolved with strong hydro and nuclear generation, later expanding wind. The system is highly reliable and well interconnected with the Nordic grid.
Availability
Urban areas have excellent reliability. In cabins and remote north, brief outages can occur during storms.
Sockets & hotels
Most homes and hotels have recessed Schuko (Type F). Type C works in Type F outlets.
Energy mix

Practical tips
- Carry a compact Type C/F adapter if you’re coming from outside Europe.
- Winter trips to remote areas: a small power bank is useful.
