Re: iPhone charger 110/220
Don't get mad at me if you fry your iPhone, but assuming it's a genuine iPhone and not a cheap copy, it should be fine. Most electronics these days support both, 110 / 220.
Re: iPhone charger 110/220
If you use a genuine Apple charger the 110/220v works for either.
If you but a copy or 'compatible charger then you may be in trouble, I know someone in London who bought a copy which caught fire overnight and not only fried the phone but also a table, sofa and necessitated a visit by the fire brigade.
You save a few pounds with a copy but is it worth the risk of losing your life?
Re: iPhone charger 110/220
Bought a Thai charger but didn't have an extra charger for a gift unless I gave him a USA charger. Certainly wouldn't want to accidentally fry his new phone after giving it to him
Re: iPhone charger 110/220
Read the label on the back of the adapter. They are almost always marked with the range of input voltages allowed, ie "100-220v". The attached imaged has the relevant part in a red box. Most all "switching adapters" (ones that can take most any voltage you throw at them) have markings like this.

This thread reminds me: Will regular US-style two-prong plugs fit in Thailand? I simply do not remember.
Re: iPhone charger 110/220
Your prongs will fit in Thailand, to be honest almost anything will fit somewhere but flat pin US plugs are not a ploblem.
Cheers

All depends where you end up. :-) I have both in my house, all depending on what it's powering. My office is standard 2 prong... washing maching is 3 prong Thai version, for example.
For places that don't fit the standard US 2 prong, just grab a power bar from any mom & pop shop, and it'll work fine. Again, vast majority of electronics these days have converters built-in to support both 110 / 220.

In Thailand, power bars are MY LIFE!
I even carry a 4-banger on-the-road as many Thai-style cheapo hotel rooms ~ which we frequently use ~ have one socket per room. And even that one is placed perfectly in a spot where almost nothing can reach it, or one has to get down on all-fours to find it . . . and even then, the prong holes are so old and stretched and rounded out that no plug will stay seated for more than 10 seconds.
