My laptop charger blew up in a hostel in Chiang Mai

I was working on a deadline in a hostel common room when my charger sparked and smoked, killing my laptop battery at 11%. Had to rush to Pantip Plaza and pay 4,500 baht for a new official charger and a power bank to get back online. Anyone know a good brand for a universal travel adapter that can handle voltage spikes?

Did you check the outlet like pauljones said, or was it just a bad charger?

Honestly, check the hostel outlets themselves, some of those old buildings have sketchy wiring that kills chargers lol.
