I’m taking my first international trip to the Philippines next month and I’m confused on what kind of adapter I need. I found this Site Plugs A and B look similar to those used in north america. I’m only bringing my phone, tablet, and steam deck. I read that I don’t need a transformer for those devices but I’ll still need an adapter. I was hoping someone could link me the right adapter I need. I tried looking on amazon but I don’t really trust the reviews on there anymore.

EDIT: for more context, my steam deck power adapter says. Input: 100-240v 1.2a 50-60hz. From my ubderstanfing, I won’t need a transformer for my steam deck but just an adapter. Someone posted This which seems like all I need.

Thanks!

    That’s exactly the one I used in the Philippines (and many other countries), it’s a Swiss brand with excellent built quality and overcharge protection, unlike many of the no name China things you find on Amazon. It’s compatible with all plug types from A through G, and with the 2 USB sockets you can actually charge 3 devices at once.

    For the devices you listed, no transformer is needed, correct.

    Hair dryers are btw. the most common single-voltage appliances that cause issues, so don’t bring one of those…

      Thanks for the reply! That is definitely a little pricey, but if the build quality is good then it will be worth it.

        You can definitely go for a cheaper one if it’s a single use occasion for you, I’ve just been traveling around a lot over the years - mostly for work - and had some unbranded thing before that broke after a few uses.
