Bangladesh uses Types A, C, D and G plugs, 220V at 50Hz. Travelling from the UK you do not need an adapter. Phone and laptop chargers are usually rated 100-240V, so they only need the right plug.
| Plug type | Types A, C, D and G |
| Type A | two flat parallel pins |
| Type C | two round pins (Europlug) |
| Type D | three large round pins in a triangle |
| Type G | three rectangular pins (UK type) |
| Voltage | 220V |
| Frequency | 50Hz |
| Travelling from | Home plug | Adapter | Voltage converter |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Type G, 230V | Not needed for Type G | Not needed |
| United States | Types A and B, 120V | Not needed for Type A | Needed for single-voltage appliances |
| India | Types C, D and M, 230V | Not needed for Type C and D | Not needed |
| United Arab Emirates | Type G, 230V | Not needed for Type G | Not needed |
| Australia | Type I, 230V | Needed | Not needed |
| Canada | Types A and B, 120V | Not needed for Type A | Needed for single-voltage appliances |

220V at 50Hz.
Not always. Both use Type G, so United Kingdom plugs of that type fit.
Not always. Both use Type A, so United States plugs of that type fit. The voltage differs (120V vs 220V), so single-voltage appliances need a converter.
Not always. Both use Types C and D, so India plugs of that type fit.
Not always. Both use Type G, so United Arab Emirates plugs of that type fit.
Yes. Australia uses Type I and Bangladesh uses Types A, C, D and G, so you need an adapter.
Not always. Both use Type A, so Canada plugs of that type fit. The voltage differs (120V vs 220V), so single-voltage appliances need a converter.
