Types of outlets in hotels tourist countries (UAE, Cyprus, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy others)

Being abroad, tourists sometimes face the problem of the inconsistency of the fork and the local electrical outlet. Most often it happens when charging gadgets, while trying to use a hairdryer or an electric shaver.

In most hotels, there are no problems in order to take the desired adapter for the symbolic amount. Often the necessary adapter can be bought at the nearest store. But if you are often traveling, you prefer to stop not at the hotel, or do not want to rely in case you will be useful for you.

Two types use two types to connect to the household appliances in the world electric voltage and two flight frequencies:

• european Current in 220-240 V with a frequency of 50 Hz
• american-Japanese at 100-127 V with a frequency of 60 Hz.

At the same time, various types of electrical forks at household appliances and standards of sockets are no longer 2 or 3, but as many as 15. They differ not only in the form, but the size of the plugs, the absence or the presence of grounding.

The scheme presents all 15 types of sockets, they are located in the order of numbering adopted by ITA - the US Department of Commerce, in 1998. (In the figure, some models are similar, but they have differences in the size of the nests and plugs).

It is not worth frightening because of this number of different types of outlets. If you wish, you can buy an adapter in advance and travel with him. There are several types of adapters that will allow you to connect your device to another type outlet and there are universal adapters.

If there is no desire to spend money on the adapter, it can be rented at the hotel's reception, leaving a small deposit. Money will be returned when leaving. Some Russian narrow plugs are inserted into such sockets, so it is worth trying to start (without the use of physical strength).

Sockets in Thailand

Thai sockets have either two holes, or two pins or two pins with a hole. Accordingly, this is a type C (Euror dress), and B (American grounding sockets and without). In the socket type with without problems, Russian and Ukrainian electrical appliances are included. There are universal versions of holes (in the photo). In the sockets for forks with flat pins, refrigerators are usually included, because in hotels they are less thinned. If you need to recharge the phone or laptop, it is better to find an adapter and use such "refrigerator sockets" type A, and when you need to include several devices at once, it is useful to have an extension with multiple sockets, they are in Thailand inexpensive. What kind of sockets in Thailand - you can look at the photo (universal version). However, if you have a dear technique, it is better to have a ground adapter.

Transformer-transformers are sold, they cost about $ 16, although they do not possess high power.

Charger and others appliances Turn on without problems, even the old Soviet sample.

Outlets in the UAE

The fact is that there are three standard there - a widespread type G of a British rosette with three flat pins, where the adapter is needed, a type with a conventional European, which will not need an adapter, and the type D, which came here from the old England. In Britain, they no longer use them, but in India it is found. In this type, many narrow European forks are stuck, and with forks of the old Soviet sample, you can connect through an adapter. The problem is easily solvable in place - in hotels adapters in stock. The voltage and frequency in the UAE network are the same as we.

France

Outlets in France - ordinary European types with and type E (in the photo), voltage and current frequency standard.

Security

Dominican is a fairly safe country for tourists by challenges Central America and caribbies; Robber attacks and robbery, which have long become the norm in countries such as Venezuela, or Peru - an extremely rare phenomenon in Dominican. Nevertheless, one must not forget that more than a million illegal migrants from neighboring Haiti live in the country, which account for the lion's share of crime. In the capital of the country, Santo Domingo a lot of pockets, plus the autopsy of cars (do not leave any things inside the car). In low-cost urban hotels, thefts happen from numbers.

The country is allowed free storage and wearing short-barreled firearms, so you can meet on the street well armed people everywhere. But it is rather an external attribute - the use of weapons on the streets is extremely rare (the exception is the areas of the slums where refugees from Haiti live).

Clothing and appearance

There is practically no requirements for clothing, the only exception is in the church, casino and some restaurants and discos are not allowed visitors in short shorts and sleeveless blouses. In other cases appearanceNor nor the guests are surprised.

Measurement system

Multiple measurement systems still use in the country, for example, an ounces, livra and pound, gasoline, machine oil and most liquids are measured in American gallones, distances are used in kilometers - in yard, and the area is measured in " Tareas "(624 square meters. m.), so no wonder to get confused. In the markets, sellers often use their weight weight and length, so carefully perform the recalculation, otherwise excesses are possible. Fruits are sold individually, the price depends on the size, not weight.

Electricity

Voltage in the network 110 V., 60 Hz. Flat sockets, American standard forks. An adapter is needed to connect electrical appliances (usually sold in hotel shops). Quite often interruptions in the supply of electricity, but most hotels high-class have their own generators.
