sceadugenga Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 There's a number of qualified opticians in the area, the actual test should be free then the price of the glasses depend on the quality of the frames you select. I used the guy on the new clocktower corner next to the gold shop recently without complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Actually there very few qualified opticians in Thailand - and I suspect fewer upcountry. This has not been a professional field here until very recently. Opthamologists have performed this function and in many, if not most cases, continue to do so. At any rate it is best to have an exam from them in any case and the cost is not that much - even if done in a hospital setting. You might want to buy glasses at a hospital also as most chains seem to charge very high prices (suspect that is how they afford to be on very city block - with few customers).

rethaier Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 There is an optician at the top of the steps at the post office who provides good single vision glasses within about 2 hours for 300 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
