Cambodia uses 230V/50Hz with Type A, C, and G outlets — bring a universal adapter
Cambodia's electrical system uses 230V at 50Hz, but outlet types vary widely. You may encounter Type A (two flat prongs, US-style), Type C (two round prongs, European), and Type G (three rectangular prongs, UK-style) — sometimes all in the same building. A universal adapter is essential. Electricity supply has improved enormously but outages still occur in rural areas. Much power is imported from Vietnam and Thailand, supplemented by hydroelectric dams.
