Around a quarter of a century ago, it was common knowledge that eye tests and prescription glasses in Thailand were a fraction of the cost in, say, the UK.
Opticians were on every corner, even outnumbering 7/11s.
There still seems to be far more opticians touting their products in Thailand than I note in the UK, but I’ve been warned on a few occasions that it is no longer a more cost-effective option to have your eyes checked and purchase glasses or other treatments here and that it is, more often than not, the same cost (at best) or even more expensive to get your eyes fixed in Thailand rather than back home.
Any first-hand or other evidence-based knowledge, experience, anecdotes and/or advice from those better placed than I to know, would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all, I have a non-visa question so it falls under the category of ‘and everything else’ 😉. I might need to redo a crown during my stay in Thailand (December- April). Any suggestions for a great dental clinic in Bangkok or Nakhon Pathom, which is where I’ll be staying for most of my trip? Thanks. You guys are really helpful.
Is there a quick and easy place to get a walk in INR blood test on Koh Samui anyone can recommend? Travelling at the moment and due to upset stomach could do with checking
Where can you get ATK test results in Bangkok, if needed for travel to another country?
Do the pharmacies here not offer this service? Found a hospital that does it, but they charge $2,800 thb. Is there a cheaper place that does the ATK test for travel purposes?
