The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Afghanistan and Laos.
| Afghanistan | Laos | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, D, F | A, B, C, E, F |
| Voltage | 240V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Afghanistan there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Laos there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type A
(Laos)
Socket Type C
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type B
(Laos)
Socket Type C
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type E
(Laos)
Socket Type C
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type F
(Laos)
Laos also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Afghanistan. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Laos, you will not need an adaptor.
In Laos there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type A
(Laos)
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type B
(Laos)
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type C
(Laos)
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type E
(Laos)
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type F
(Laos)
In Laos there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type A
(Laos)
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type B
(Laos)
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type C
(Laos)
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type E
(Laos)
Laos also uses Socket Type F, which is used in Afghanistan. If using an appliance that has a Type F Plug in the Type F Sockets of Laos, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Afghanistan (240V) and Laos (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Afghanistan and Laos is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
