Jomtien opticians

Yes. Stand at the door to Agate. Look left; it's on the other side of soi, twenty metres away. It's name is in Thai so I can't provide it. I think it's aaht we call in the UK "a pop-up", self-contained office outside the old car-park.

Progressive lens can have far sight, near sight and an in between for reading a computer screen without traditional bi or tri focal lines on the lenses.  In today’s world, the lens for seeing screens is quite useful. 

I actually find progressive lenses great for daytime wear but quite quite difficult if I am looking at a fixed object, like a movie. Then it really depends where I am seated as I found that when I started wearing them sometimes I'd have to keep my head raised or lowered to see properly. Same with working on a computer screen for more than a few minutes. Good for a quick scan but not longer term working. When I had all my lenses changed some years ago I had an extra pair made that is effectively the distance between my eyes and the computer screen. If you work on a laptop, I thoroughly recommend that small extra expense.

I too find the computer troublesome in this regard. My partner, however, lives only for his phone and so far has found the new lenses infinitely preferable.

Actually, no. Money is the currency of a lawyer's business. Lots of it. Those suites at the Le Meridien don't come cheap you know. 🤣😂😅

Walking around Jomtien Complex this afternoon I took a couple of photos.  I believe this is the shop you are talking about.

Blood sucking lawyers 🧛‍♂️🧛‍♂️

I had one last year who I used when I was selling my city apartment in Australia, I decided half way through not to sell to the buyer , actually I pulled the plug on the sale on the very last day ... The lawyer still wanted to charge me half of his conveyancing fee !!

I am sure we all have stories like that. Many years ago I drafted a will for my UK assets which I asked a lawyer to complete in legal terms. I was quite happy to pay his fee. When I then wanted very minor alterations to certain clauses, I rewrote them exactly as he would have written them and sent them to the lawyer. He then sent me an invoice as though he had rewritten the entire will himself. I told him I'd pay 25% and not a penny more. It was accepted.
