Comment on Can someone help me determine what power outlet adapter I need in the Philippines?

  Most USB chargers convert the voltage automatically. You only need an adapter. But for things like a hairdryer for example, you might need the converter.

  That’s exactly the one I used in the Philippines (and many other countries), it’s a Swiss brand with excellent built quality and overcharge protection, unlike many of the no name China things you find on Amazon. It’s compatible with all plug types from A through G, and with the 2 USB sockets you can actually charge 3 devices at once.

    Thanks for the reply! That is definitely a little pricey, but if the build quality is good then it will be worth it.

      You can definitely go for a cheaper one if it’s a single use occasion for you, I’ve just been traveling around a lot over the years - mostly for work - and had some unbranded thing before that broke after a few uses.

        I do plan on travelingore in the future. So I might as well get a good quality one.
