Considerations

Voltage

The voltages found in Bangladesh (220V) and Myanmar/Burma (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.

Good to know

Frequency of Electrical Current

The frequency found in Bangladesh and Myanmar/Burma is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
