Menken Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I'm looking for a pair of glasses identical to these more or less (with hinge) in Bangkok THAT DO NOT COST 10K FOR FRAMES. Looked everywhere for years. Just happened to stumble on these a few years back. Shop had no more. Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Many people have been using Zenni mail order (ship from China) for glasses last decade as price is much lower than shops in Thailand and huge selection of frames/types. I would take a look there. https://www.zennioptical.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I have had several pair from Zenni including their rimless jobbies. Good lenses but the coating starts to come off after a year or so. You get what you pay for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need simple, black glasses. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Zenni really is your best bet, try looking there again and more extensively. Glasses are very expensive here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menken Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 The glasses I posted were sold at b1700 and I paid 1000 for the higher quality lenses. Nothing fancy just reading. Yes Sheryl, absolutely ridiculous prices for really low quality frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Name-brand frames are expensive here, but cheap glasses are available. My boy just bought a pair for 1,000 all in, ordered on Saturday and he picks them up Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) If you are in Bangkok try taking a trip to Klong Thom area near China town. In one area there are a lot of shops selling glasses and frames for very cheap (from 80 baht a pair up to 1000's) and in my opinion some of them are good quality frames of many types. You can try them on before purchase. I get my eyes tested and then go to a glasses shop and they manufacture and fit the lens.

phetphet Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) I have rimless frames from a company called Silhouette. Can't remember cost as I bought them several years ago. Might be worth a look: https://www.silhouette.com/en/optical-eyewear?rim_type=rimless https://www.silhouette.com/en/optical-eyewear/men Edited March 20, 2023 by phetphet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Need to search better, as that's what mine are, and bought here/TH, and I know I didn't pay 10k for them, or would. Due for any set soon anyway, but not that soon that I'd be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I've been in every glasses shop, every mall from Central Pohan Yotin to Terminal 21 then along Sukhumvhit heading towards Bumrungrad. Going the other direction I know there are two or three shops and some of them are quite good but also expensive around Thong Lo. Looked Siam Square, Discovery and MBK oh, and Central Ratchadamri Zen There are decent frames I find in rare moments but the price tag is 15-20k before '50% off' Edited March 20, 2023 by Menken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
