Plug in Electric Alarm clock or Alarm Radio

I already bought 2 battery operated ones and they are junk. I need to find an electric one with battery back up.
Thanks,
John

All sorts of Alarm clocks in the stalls at Bobay (spelling?) beside the Global House on the east side of Ring road. Can't say if they are electric, but well worth the look. Also, plenty at the Indo-China Market on the riverside in Nong Khai.

Hope this helps

Tesco, Big C and Makro have a Philips alarm clock similar to the one in the photo...

Ty all for the replies. I tried central, tesco on RR, and a bunch of small shops. I will give big c and makro a try.

A year or so ago I bought 3 of the Philips alarm clocks at Makro. One for each bedroom. About once a week I reset them by adding three minutes as that is how much time they lose. Not a huge issue but a bit of a nuisance. It was probably just that production run and perhaps the ones from Makro are fine now. I just wish I'd bought one to try out before purchasing the other two.

I'd give a couple of them away if someone wants them.
