ebay? I know the Apple store has them but they were kind of expensive.

I found this site…http://international-electrical-supplies.com/thailand-plug-adapters.html It looks like a crappy site, but it uses Yahoo shopping, so your purchase is safe.

Sometimes you can find stuff like this at an office store like Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, etc…or an electronics store Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, etc…

There are 2 separate issues: wattage and plug type. If you have the right type of wattage on the device you need to use, you probably only need a plug converter. If your appliance has a different shaped-plug and different voltage than the standard in the country you are going to than you need a voltage adapter and a plug converter. Here’s a website that gives the voltage, frequency, and plug outlet type for Thailand: http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/en/voltage/Thailand

That should help you know what to buy depending on where you’re going and what devices you plan to use.
