To be more specific: 220-240 volts AC (Alternating Current), 50-60 hertz. The same voltage is used over the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Most electrical devices you may want to bring (e.g. hairdryer, battery charger) will usually switch automatically to 220 volts, or can be switched manually. If in doubt, consult the manual. If your equipment does not run on 220 volts, then you should buy a 110>220 volt converter suitable for small appliances up to 1500 watts.  In some hotels you often find bathroom shaver outlets with both 110 and 220 volts available.<br \/>\n<br \/><strong>Do not<\/strong> try to plug your non-switchable 110 volt appliances directly into a European socket without a transformer &#8211; you might destroy your appliance and possibly even start a fire.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\nElectricity plug shapes, plug holes, plug sizes and sockets are different in many countries. In the Netherlands the standard continental 2-pin CEE 7-17 plug and CEE 7 plugs and sockets are used (check the images). If necessary you should bring a plug adapter with you \u2013 we advise you to buy one in your home country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emdcon.org\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dutch_plugs-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6679\" src=\"https:\/\/emdcon.org\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dutch_plugs-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horizon Village Electrical Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Thai Electrical System is <strong>220-230 VAC, 50 Hz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most important factor to consider is whether your home country has the same voltage.\u00a0 If you are unsure, you can check here (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchdatacenter\/definition\/Electric-plugs-for-each-country\">Electricity &amp; plugs for each country<\/a>).
