Hi guys,
My boyfriend and I are going traveling to south east asia in the summer and he was thinking about getting a new pair of glasses over there for himself, and maybe prescription sunglasses, probably in Bangkok, as it's out first stop.
He was wondering if the Opticians over there would be as good as here?, and would they be able to fully test him to get new glasses, rather than just bring his current prescription with him?
Does anyone know if it would work out much cheaper, or would he just be better off getting them here in Ireland?
Also if anyone knows of a good optician in Bangkok, so share!!!
Thanks a mill!
