I went to the clinic with high confidence because of personal recommendation. My initial reaction was favourable because those waiting were predominantly Thai . I registered and my distance vision was checked by the receptionist. Closing time at midday was approaching and I was asked to return another time to see the specialist. I was surprised to be charged "only 500 bahts" for this. No receipt was offered or given.
I returned the following day and saw the doctor. He is very pleasant and competent and told me what I already knew about my eyes. I wanted to get some new prescription spectacles but sadly the testing equipment in his consulting room was not functioning. It was agreed that I would be contacted by phone when I should return. That was over two weeks ago, since when I have heard nothing. At this visit I was charged a further 1200 bahts, not excessive but equally I was told nothing more than i already knew.(again no receipt).
A really disappointing experience. I cannot recommend because I did not get the new properly prescribed specs which was the reason I went there. Is the main problem the receptionist, who seemed pleasant but is not really reliable?
