@Vitico *******

Thanks for the detailed and easily digestible advice. I'm already "in country" so cannot get a prescription from back home in the UK. I think I'll see if I can go down the Big-C testing route and (as you advise) get a couple or so tests performed at different franchises (I'm assuming they will likely all be franchises). 🙏

Sounds a bit Lee Majors aka Steve Austin.

Message to Edward Winn (the coward who picks a fight but, when it becomes clear he is losing the argument he initiated, comments whilst blocking a response - like that means he "won" something)..... But you DID respond, nonetheless. Incidentally though, who said I'm big (not me) and when did I profess to be tough (apart from never)? Painting your own ignorantly erroneous scenarios again? For someone who claims to be chilled out and not looking for conflict, you sure do enact the opposite in seeking to escalate discord through introduction of personal ad-hominem attacks. Try playing the ball, not the man, sometime.

@Edward *****

STILL don't get it, do you? If you HAD TO choose a side (which you didn't as YOU could simply have scrolled on by) you chose the wrong one.

@Mary *******

Thanks. Happy to not have watched TV, since 1979. PS. Would you happen to know who shot JR, by any chance?

@Edward *****

How so? I'm not bitter and I'm not an ex-pat. Stop painting your own (erroneous) scenarios with zero information. If you can't understand that referring people, who are asking for costs of products in Thailand, to Taiwan, is just plain dumb and ignorant... I can't help you (nobody can).

@Edward *****

I'll look out for you on the Taiwan Facebook pages so as to address any Taiwan related queries you may have and refer you back to Thailand. You don't seem to "get it" any more than

@Janelle ****

does.

@Janelle ****

STILL don't get it, do you?

@Edward *****

Why can't people not only read but also digest the subject matter of a query posed and respond, if qualified, or simply scroll past, if ignorant, rather than offering up an entirely useless and/or unrelated mere opinion? It's akin to asking for a grilled steak recipe and being offered up duck a la orange... FFS. What makes people this way? 🤔

@Janelle ****

Still don't get it, eh? NOBODY is interested in going to Taiwan for a pair of prescription spectacles. Where next? North Korea? Cuba? The Ukraine? Somalia? We are discussing the costs of spectacles in THAILAND. You ARE familiar with a country which goes by the name of "Thailand", I assume.
