Make sure you are intending to plug in the adapter before you buy it, just avoid the problem and buy a three-pin version. 

Don’t buy a travel adapter at the airport: 

Just like, the people buy the food drink and internet access, almost everything you think about it. The airport is one of the expensive places to buy travel accessories. it is unusual to see that travel adapter that gives worth 5 bucks, selling over bucks in the airport gift shop.  The shopkeeper just waits for the unfortunate persons, who forgot they needed before the plane leaves.

Need only one: 

If you are travelling with the family, just use one bunch of gadgets and appliances. Buying the individual adapter is an expensive exercise. You will have to buy a travel power strip. Just pick one. As long as you don’t need a voltage converted, just plug all of your chargers into the power strip. The power strip in the travel adapter. The adapter is fixed in the wall. This approach has several advantages. It helps to save your money and gives extra space in your bag and gets around the problem. You have enough power sockets in the hotel room. 

There Might Be another Option
