Laos to North Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from Laos to North Korea? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and North Korea is no exception.

Since Laos and North Korea both support Type C plugs, you can use your chargers and appliances without a travel adapter. One less thing to worry about.

On the voltage front, Laos (230V, 50Hz) and North Korea (220V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.

A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For North Korea specifically, look for one that supports Type C outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Both countries support Type C plugs, so your devices should fit North Korea's outlets directly.
