Can I Use My E-Reader (Kindle / Kobo) in Thailand?
You're good — plug right in.
Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.
The short answer
E-readers charge over USB from a dual-voltage adapter (100–240V). A plug adapter is all you need anywhere in the world.
Thailand runs 230V at 50Hz. Thailand runs 230V at 50Hz but its sockets often accept US-style Type A/B plugs — a dangerous false familiarity. The plug may fit, but a US single-voltage device will still overheat on 230V.
