Do I Need a Plug Adapter for Bali from the UK?

Yes, you'll need an adapter.

UK and Irish plugs (Type G) don’t fit the sockets in Bali (Indonesia) (Type C, F). The voltage is similar (230 V at home, 230 V there), so you won’t need a voltage converter for devices rated for your home voltage.

Voltage check

The voltage is similar (230 V at home, 230 V there), so you won’t need a voltage converter for devices rated for your home voltage. Most phone, tablet and laptop chargers say 100–240 V on the label; treat that as something to check, not a guarantee. Read plug adapter vs voltage converter for how to read a label.

Socket details for Bali

A two-pin Type C plug fits the sockets in Bali, according to the plug-fit rules in our voltage checker (Type C fits Type C, E, F and L sockets).
Bali and the rest of Indonesia use Type C and F sockets (two round pins), at 230 V, 50 Hz.
In the voltage-checker dataset, 33 other countries have the same socket types and voltage group as Bali: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Egypt and more. An adapter for Type C/F sockets bought for Bali also fits sockets there.
Your plugs from the UK and Ireland are Type G (three rectangular); in our plug-fit rules they fit Type G sockets, which the voltage checker lists for places such as UK, Ireland, HK, Singapore, Malaysia.

What to pack

A plug adapter for Type C sockets (one per device you’ll charge at the same time)
Check the label on each charger: look for “100–240V” or “INPUT: 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz”
A power board or multi-port USB charger from home means you only need one adapter
