pochinda Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Anyone who can recommend a good place to buy a pair of glasses in Chiang Mai? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobl Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Prescription or reading? Prescription there's opticians everywhere... Charoen(?) seem to be on every street... You can also get cheap-ish reading glasses in there of reasonable quality, or (what I like to use as 'disposables') 50-100 baht reading glasses from the vendor stalls that set up in the malls/supermarkets... I mostly buy mine when I go to Mae Sai... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hellodolly Posted May 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2013 I copied this from the above pinned list of topics. I have been there several times with my wife. the last time I went he told me glasses for just walking around would be a waste of money as my eyes were still good in that respect. He has been highly recommended by many people. OPTOMETRY (vision care, frames and lenses) Vision Center Rajvitthi Rd. (near to the UN Irish Pub) (not strictly in the medical arena but very highly rated for all aspects of eye exams and sensible costs of glasses and lenses) That is on the same side of the street as the UN Irish Pup heading towards the moat. I believe they are closed on Monday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighlander Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Is he an Ophthalmologist, or just an eyeglass maker? I get my glasses online for about 350 thb, it's nice to know a good eye doctor, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nivram4491 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 for those of us that don't know where the UN Iris Pub is at, the Google map coordinates would be....? The Google map coordinates of the UN Irish Pub are 18.790562,98.991537. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 for those of us that don't know where the UN Iris Pub is at, the Google map coordinates would be....? I can't do the coordinate thing. But I can give some instructions that might help. On the east side of the old city there is a Mikes Burgers on the corner of the outside of the moat cross the moat and go down about a 1/4 of a mile down the road on the right hand side of the street. If you do not cross the moat and go the other way you will be right in Warorot (china town) Market, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
