Do i need a plug adaptor?
Hi There,
Do i need to bring a plug adaptor with me or the indian one with three holes (type D) will work for my type C (just two) plugs? If so, alas, i'll invest another 13 bucks on the only one i could find over here... Thank a lot! |

for what it`s worth : I found that my Swedish plugs worked in the Indian wall outlets, albeit with a loose fit. I did bring a surge protector to protect my camera & harddrive.
A tried, tested & cheap method , not by me but other members here , is otherwise just to bring an extension cord from home and just have the plug switched in a electric shop. |

I like the Rs.15 option much better than the 14 euros option.
Thanks! |
