When packing for Bali, most travelers think of swimsuits, sunscreen, and sandals. But there’s one small item that can make or break your trip: the right power adapter. If you don’t bring it, you might end up with uncharged devices and unnecessary stress.
Here’s a simple guide to help you prepare.
Bali uses the European standard electricity system:
If you’re traveling from Europe, your plugs may already fit. But if you’re coming from the US, UK, Japan, or other regions, you’ll definitely need an adapter.
Most modern gadgets like smartphones, laptops, and cameras are dual-voltage (100–240V). This means you only need an adapter, not a voltage converter. To check, look at your charger, it should say something like “Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz.”
However, if you’re bringing older electronics or styling tools like hair dryers that only support 120V, you’ll need a voltage converter. Without it, your device could be damaged.
Tip: Always choose a quality adapter with built-in safety features, don’t risk cheap ones that overheat.
For Bali, you’ll need:
Pack the right adapter, and you’ll stay fully charged to capture sunsets, navigate the island, and share your Bali adventures without a hitch.
