Considerations for Hong Kong
It is likely you will only find plugs-type "G" in Hong Kong. Plug types "D" and "M" are considered very old and they are not common. We keep the old-plugs in our database as we don't know your exact destination. As a rule of thumb, you will probably be fine with the type "G" in hotels.
... and in Sri Lanka you will use: (includes Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Jaffna, Nuwara Eliya.)
Plug Type D | Plug Type M | Plug Type G |
Outlet Type D | Outlet Type M | Outlet Type G |

Similar voltage
The voltage is not exact, but the difference is usually tolerable by electrical devices. Its mostly safe to plug your electrical apparatus from Hong Kong in Sri Lanka without a voltage adapter. If you have any concerns with a special device i.e. a medical device, you probably want to seek further professional help.

Same connectors
Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Hong Kong are also used in Sri Lanka. You will not need any adapter (but please check voltages and the other sections of this report). Congratulations!!!!
Adapters
Lists of adapters you can use in your travel:
Adapter: generic
Front | Back |
This adapter allows you to use plugs type: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N into outlets type: M.
This adapter is extremely generic without loose terminal and finger protection, it does have earth pass-though which is a good thing; but it will not have a good grip because it support so many different plug types in only three generic slots; we don't recommend this adapter unless no better alternative can be found. i.e. a more expensive one.
