Plugs in Thailand - info please

can I use Australian plugs in Thailand?
I want to put my iPod on charge and need a wall charger/USB port to do that.
Thank you.

I haven't thought of an original one yet and I will not use one from a famous person. I consider that restricting. :))

You can, but you will need a converter that clips onto the end of the plug to allow it to fit the socket.

You can get them in the travel goods section of most department stores or even cheaper in Thailand itself.

Thailand uses a plug with two round prongs sometimes three round prongs.

Wait for it - Rudd's Labour party will straighten out those slanty-eyed prongs (or yeah use a readily-available adaptor) :-)
US-style twin-flat prongs work everywhere in Thailand. The rounded Euro-style ones seem to slip out and have loose connectivity.
