Electricity and sockets

The electricity supply in Myanmar is erratic; power cuts and ‘surges’ are common. Electricity is supplied at 220 – 240 volts. Most hotels and many restaurants and shops are equipped with generators to provide power during blackouts. The power supplied by generators may sometimes not be sufficient to run an air conditioner. There are many different kinds of sockets in use in Myanmar. We recommend that visitors bring a universal adaptor for their electrical appliances as well as a surge protector.
