Musongman Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Do you think a mains operated clock is a wise choice given the casual nature of the electricity supply in most parts of Thailand? Hopefully you can get one with battery back-up. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have seen them everywhere here in Pattaya...at stalls just outside of Tesco, Big C, Carrefour, Central, etc. Also, at the various night markets...even cheaper there. I have not seen one with a batter backup yet....and they are expensive here anyway! I got mine for 600b or so...small one, but works great.

gregb Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I got a digital wall clock from MBK many years back. Used the 50 Hz signal on the mains to keep the time, and also has a battery backup for when the mains are off. Runs fast however when disconnected from the power due to a cheap, non temperature compensated RC oscillator circuit. The same shop had a dozen or so of the small, bedside alarm clocks, and they were cheaper. Don't remember the price as at that point in my Thailand experience I was spending money like water, but I'm sure it was under 1000 baht. I would be surprised if you couldn't find what you were looking for at MBK. If you are already in Bangkok I would start there due to convenience of access and variety of products.

alantheembalmer Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I got a mains clock radio from the Sony centre in Central Department store. It cost around 650 baht, and because it is a Sony, it is reliable and accurate, which is something that cannot be said about some of the products from MBK and the like.

mike44 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks for the helpful replies. I guess I'll start with Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
