i need to buy an indian apapter to take English pins
Hi there,
I live in the UK and need to buy an adapter that I can use in India to plug into the walls and then plug in my English plugs from my ipod and other things etc but I dont know what retail stores in the UK or online in the UK sell them as I heard there are 1 or 2 different kinds you could use in India? HELP

I bought one 50 bucks. All electric shops have them...

Buy a 'World Adapter' at the airport duty free.
Theres also lots of information about adapters via the IM search engine,
This is just one link.

Buy an extension lead (4 socket one, picture attached) in the UK (they have these in places like Morrisons for £1.70 and sometimes in Poundland for £1). When you get to India take the UK plug off and put an Indian one on.
They do not take up too much space and are very light. Another advantage is that you can plug more than one device in. So you can charge your phone and your camera batteries at the same time

Either buy one there or take the 4-way with you ---as above.
The Indian socket, by the way, is the pre 1960s British round-pin system and, until very recently, the plugs could be bought here in UK. Now I think they can't.

While we are on the subject of elec plugs ... I cant find one in Australia to go from Aust to Indian plugs. I have tried the major brands of travel plugs and they dont do Indian... So can some one tell me what the plugs look like eg 2 round pin ( like they have in Thailand) so I can have a look at other plugs I have here and if I dont have one maybe I can buy one.
Thanks
Thanks

Really the most logical option is the 4 way multi-powerboard and change the plug in India, it's a 'No Brainer', will always work. If you know how to wire a plug yourself, then buy a plug and wire it up, 5 mins and it is all done, BUT BE SAFE WITH POWER !!!!!!
