ExPratt Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've broken a pair of glasses , nose bridge bit thing , coming away from the lens. I've been to see several "Opticians" in Ayutthaya that only seem to employ 16 year old birds caked in make-up trying to sell you new Glasses at "Ha sip percent" discount.. I know they are fixable as I've had them repaired in Malaysia before. I also require a new pair but not from one of these optical boutiques. Any replies , including the smart arsed ones, appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitrevie Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I always go to Paris Miki located in Central World Zen department store for my glasses. Best glasses I have ever had and they fix and clean for free each time I take them back. Not sure if they can fix yours but they are a Japanese company and they appear to be very competent.

avidflyer Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Check out Zunni.com. They are amazing, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Believe you mean zenni.com (unless you own and are trying to sell that web site posted). But you need a prescription to use mail order service. If he does have that would highly recommend zenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raro Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Does anyone know a real good optician that can actually use all that high tech stuff? My last experiences left me with glasses that didn't really improve my sight, but rather caused headaches and all. A real doctor would be preferred.

ExPratt Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thats what I am worried about. I went to one in Taiwan once and all he had was some machine you looked into Further up the thread a Bangkok hospital is mentioned for tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a google for Optical 88, see if there is one in your area, imo they are better than the Thai franchises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebuzzard Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Domenic Optical, 3rd fl, Central Bangna. Older fella runs the place. Is very competent with frame repair, new prescriptions, etc. Been using the shop for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemel Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Go to to a place on soi17 intersection with 2nd road Pattaya, been mentioned before on Pattaya forum, name I think is First optical, have bought 7 pairs for me and family from here and even new with prescription lenses or sunglasses did not cost more than 1800 Baht for the same thing for sale in Central for 5200 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExPratt Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks I'm in Pattaya over Christmas and new year so I'll pop in. The Optical 88 in Ayhuttaya was worse than useless, the bird in there kept going "No ,No" , just as well I kept my trousers on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
