Would strong reading glasses be a better option?  They are available at most supermarkets/stores and can be tried in store (take some fine print).  Only cost a few baht.  

 

Edit:  have found most cheap magnifying glasses sold on platforms to be less than useful for anything.

If having android phone, that probably has Google Lens, you can simply use that.

B2S stores in Robinsons mall's have magnifying glasses .

Depends on what power you need, generally reading aids run from +1.5 - +5

Is that the range you want or are you looking for stronger ?

 

I found these very good service and reasonably priced.

If you want/prefer a handheld, this one is very good in my experience.

What is a general store?  Please give 3 examples in Chiang Mai.

Nearly all the cheap plastic shops sell them.

'Fine print', I usually just take a photo on my phone and zoom it in.

The opposite of a specialist store!

Any shop that sells loads of different  stuff.  Take a walk around  there's plenty about in all cities..often near market  areas

Professional camera shops should have. Try the Photo Bug on Chang phueak just north of Chang phueak gate.
