Do appliances have the same electrical fittings in Vietnam as they do in Taiwan? what about Cambodia, Laos, Thailand?
Oh dear 110V. Why can’t I delete this post now?
Why do you want to delete your post? I am also curious to know the answer to your question.
When I did a Google search, I found this website, which has a chart of the voltages, plugs, and outlets for every coutnry in the world:
voltagevalet.com/country/all.html
However, it says that Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos each have two different kinds of plugs and outlets. Also, it says that Vietnam and Cambodia are dual voltage (110 and 220 volts). But actually, I seriously doubt that most buildings would have two different kinds of outlets and both voltages. So maybe 220 volts is only used for air conditioners, like it is in Taiwan. Or maybe they are in the process of converting from 110 volts to 220 volts (or vice versa) so certain areas of the country would have one voltage and other parts of the country have the other voltage.
So I would be very curious to know the answer to your question. I seriously doubt that a country would have both voltages and both styles of plugs and outlets in every building. So I think either the website is wrong, or it could be that it depends on which area of the country you are in.
A friend who just travelled to Vietnam this week says the voltage there is 220V.
They seemed to have had 120V before so perhaps you still encounter it in some areas.
Well I just figured that if I had already found the answer to my question I might as well delete the post rather than taking up space and other people’s time. In any case I’m in Vietnam now and the plug fittings are the round two pronged type as opposed to the flat type in Taiwan. As stated I believe the voltage is 220V. Incidentally it’s bloody hot here.
It was nominally 220 Volts in Hanoi when I was there. It seems to be unstable and most places have voltage regulating devices (big box with dials on it).
