Frequently asked

What type of plug does Cambodia use?
Cambodia uses Type A and Type B and Type C and Type F and Type G outlets at 230V, 50Hz. Sockets are typically universal, which means they also accept several other plug types beyond the official standard.
What's the voltage in Cambodia?
Cambodia runs on 230V at 50Hz — that's the high-voltage standard. Dual-voltage devices (most phones, laptops, modern chargers labelled "100-240V") work as-is. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles do not without a converter.
Do I need a travel adapter for Cambodia?
Only if your home country uses a different plug type. Because sockets in Cambodia are typically universal, many travellers don't need an adapter even when their plug type differs from the national standard. Use the table above or the calculator to check your specific pair.
