From Papua New Guinea to Bangladesh
When travelling from Papua New Guinea to Bangladesh: None of your Papua New Guinea plug types fit in Bangladesh. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (240V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is 230V/50Hz with Type A, C, G, and M sockets, outlet types vary widely by building.
Grid & history
Bangladesh’s grid expanded rapidly in the 2010s, reaching most of the population. Natural gas dominates generation; coal and growing solar make up most of the rest. Outages still occur during peak summer demand.
Availability
Reliable in Dhaka and Chittagong; rural and small-town outages common during peak load.
Sockets & hotels
Bring a universal adapter, outlets of all four types coexist depending on building era.
Energy mix
Gas-dominated; solar growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering A, C, G, and M is the safest choice.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
