Welcome to Hua Hin, one dainty land where the beachy paradise serenely awaits you in the sun. Yes, we know, as soon as you get here, the ecstasy tends to take over. And, for all you care, you just want to throw away that tanktop/ vest, change into your funky swimming suit, and head out for a wholesome sunbathing.

But, hold up. Please hold up. We care. We’ve been there so, please take it from us. Westerners’ eyes are likely to be more sensitive to the sun, and consequently risk getting easily burnt in the glare here. The next thing you know is that it starts to feel painful inside your eyes and those tears begin to run down. The burned eyes take a couple of days to heal, and in the process, your sight temporarily lose the ability to focus without that pain getting into your way.

One of the ways to keep the whole duration of your visit a joy ride, do your eyes a favor by giving them a good protection from the sun. High quality sunglasses are expected to 100% shield away the harmful UV-A and UV-B—the rays that could cause visual abnormalities or even eyesight loss in a long run.

Sunglasses available in optical stores in Hua Hin are name-branded items imported from Europe. So, you are assured to get the world-standard protection and designs. The gears are identical to purchases made in Europe or in the US, and they are sold at a similar price range (5,000-6,000 baht/ USD150-200).

The best thing about shopping for glasses in Hua Hin is that eyeglass stores are available in quite a high number. Moreover, given the size of this small town, all optical retailers are very conveniently accessible by motorbikes, Hua Hin’s usual transportation. Given to you in return is the chance to browse for the designs and prices that best match your styles and budget.

Those with eyesight problems may also have their optical glasses made with designers’ frames at a price range fairly lower than in Europe or in the US. Besides, there are extensive choices that are even less costly offered by reliable Japanese brands (2,000-4,000 baht/ USD60-120).
