Column: Smiling at the dentist in Thailand
Are the Dutch stingy? No, we hate paying too much. We like to cycle around the street for a net of squeezed oranges that are a quarter cheaper elsewhere. That is why Thailand is such a pleasant country for us. This is how you go to the dentist smiling, especially when you are presented with the bill.
The annual MOT for my teeth should only take place in Thailand, so I had decided in my wisdom. Because in the Netherlands you have to take out a second mortgage on your house for a visit to the dentist. In Thailand you can pay the dental bill from the deposit on a case of beer. So the choice was made quickly.
Although I planned to go to the dentist in Pattaya (both Joseph and Gringo were able to provide a good address) I was a bit late making an appointment. So in Hua Hin, after having eaten a tasty Phad Thai across the street, I went to the first dentist I saw to make an appointment.
It is immediately noticeable that this Siamese dental practice had already stated the rates on the outside facade. In the Netherlands, many dentists are rather secretive about this, probably to prevent you from having a heart attack on the spot.
A few days later we were able to go for a first visit. I say 'we' because my girlfriend decided to go for a check-up as well. For the first time in her life, by the way. Now she has beautiful teeth and therefore little to fear. In my case, that's a different story. Despite faithfully brushing my teeth all my life followed by the biennial check-ups, having visited an army of dental hygienists and dental surgeons, this does not have much effect on the end result. My teeth and molars are made of amalgam and composite.
Because of the almost certain probability that every dental visit will cost me money, I am happy with my wintering in Thailand: I can also do some 'Old Dutch money saving'.
A nice anecdote in this context is that our minister Schippers started a trial a while ago to release dental rates in the Netherlands. This should lower them. This is called 'market forces' according to unwritten economic laws. Well, she knew! What she hadn't counted on was that apparently the majority of dentists in our little country have Sicilian ancestors. The legalized extortion could begin. The rates had not even been released for a day or they had already risen by 666%.
During a family meeting in the Tandarts house, the champagne bottles were uncorked with a hearty toast to the health of Minister Schippers. That same evening, Mrs. Dentist's wife picked out a new kitchen with Miele appliances and a third shopping van, because the three-metre-high five-door American fridge also needs to be filled.
Pa dentist did not go unpunished either and immediately ordered the latest dental chair model from a 'glossy folder' that was included as an appendix to the dental association magazine: 'Don't break my mouth'. He went for the Dental Turbo3400XXL with the additional option of a mother-of-pearl spittoon and armrests inlaid with walnut. As a dentist you want to look a bit smart and the patients pay anyway.
The test was therefore short-lived. When even the bank managers in the Netherlands started to complain that their annual bonus was almost entirely spent on dental bills, Minister Schippers decided that the test had failed and the party was reversed.
Because the kitchen of the dentist's wife could no longer be ordered, the dentist now advises his patients between the ages of six and ten to start with crowns and bridges. 'If it doesn't work to the left, then to the right' is a saying that adorns every tile above the desk of the typist who sends the dental invoices. So much for the practices of Dutch dentists.
The first visit to the dentist in Hua Hin went entirely according to plan. For the check-up, extensive dental cleaning (including polishing) and X-rays of the entire teeth, I lost 1.200 baht (about 30 euros). In the Netherlands, the same joke costs at least 120 euros. Just sayin. And now the result: two holes. My girlfriend: zero. It's not fair in the world!
I've made a new appointment for next Sunday. Yes, you read that right: dentists work here on Sundays. The same day that my Dutch dentist is choosing a new jacuzzi with his wife at home on the couch…

Superb column! Written from the heart with humor!
“What she hadn't counted on was that apparently the majority of dentists in our little country have Sicilian ancestors.”
Brilliant! I'll remember that one!
Well, laughing? That's a bit too much to ask for me! I do go every six months, but await the date of the appointment with real terror. Fortunately, there is hardly ever anything serious going on, but man fears most because of the suffering he fears.
The day then ends smiling, everything is possible and there is nothing that day that can disturb my peace of mind.
My address might be a little easier.

The dentist I have been coming to for years to my complete satisfaction is Dr. Chanya Kulpiya of the Dental Art Center in Soi Buakhow, tel 038 720990.
The practice is located between Soi 19 and 21, right next to a 7-Eleven.
Highly recommended!
Speaking of which, I need to make another appointment myself!
Brilliant story Khun Peter, I'm going to try it in Pattaya next January or February, do you also have to make an appointment for a regular check-up?
By the way, in Rotterdam you can now also go on Saturdays and Sundays without any form of surcharge.
My experience is that you also have to make an appointment for a check-up.
It will depend on where you are, but my father-in-law has a dental practice in Udonthani (open 7 days a week), but you can go there for a check-up without an appointment. If it is busy you can still make an appointment.
Today of all days I had a tooth pulled at the back of my teeth. Expertly and painlessly performed for 7 euros! Been in the waiting room for 3 hours.
Great story! My jaw hurts, but now from laughing.
Personally, I always postpone my dental visits to the holiday period (Thailand).
Visited a dentist in Khon Kaen last year:
Thoroughly clean teeth, remove tartar, repair broken tooth and fill a cavity, plus dental check of the spouse (almost 2,5 hours in the chair in total. Damage: 3.000 baht.
This is how you go out smiling again!
We go to Thailand for a few months every year,
And also to the dentist,,4 years ago with implants,
Started and some other repairs, costs in Thailand,
4400 euros, I received 1100 euros from my insurance every year, you have to pay it in advance,
And take out the high dental insurance, ask your insurance how much you can declare per year for Thailand, I always go. In pattaya to the dentist, if necessary mail me, and you will get the address,
And I am also available for questions
reachable by email,
Gr. Han
Hi Henk, I've also tried it, haven't been for 4 or 5 years, but I have to pay the expensive insurance constantly. Contacted FBTO last year and asked if I can declare the costs incurred abroad, so I can't. Just canceled the insurance. By the way does anyone know a good bite nail smith in Pattaya/Jomtien??? Is it time to look at it again…
Dear Han, my question is what insurance do you have, my insurer Menzis says dental costs abroad are not reimbursed only if it is an emergency treatment and cannot wait.
Also interested in a good dentist in pattaya .
Greetings Evert
I have been going to the dentist in Takhli for a whole year. Perhaps not the most modern technique when you compare it with the US, but I recently paid 3600 THB for a 'root canal treatment' (what's that called in Dutch?) in 3 sessions. The last time I had to pay something like this was for 5 years in Princeton and it cost me 1200 USD (about 200 was reimbursed by insurance). I could follow the whole thing there on the screen, which was not the case now, but for the difference in price I would like to omit the screening 😉

Open daily from 09.00 a.m. to 20.00 p.m., you must make an appointment.
I too went to a dentist in the Rayong-Bangkok hospital to my complete satisfaction for a cleaning and polishing of my teeth. My blood pressure was taken and I was also weighed, what was all this good for?????
The price 1500 baht, I found it cheap.
My friend went to another hospital and paid 800 baht for the same treatment, but she was not weighed and her blood pressure was not measured. So next time I will also go to that other hospital here in Rayong.
Well I also went to the dentist in Hua Hin, a piece of my tooth had broken off. There really had to be a crown and the most expensive one, so I didn't do that back in Holland to the dentist who built up the tooth properly insurance paid the costs.
The insurance does not pay the costs, you pay them yourself, because that is the premium you pay monthly. Or is the dental insurance free?
Watch out with declaring your bill, if you are insured in NL.
Experienced myself, admittedly for an outpatient treatment in Bumrungrad:
With the referral letter from my GP in hand, I asked and received permission from my VGZ health insurance:
Health insurer VGZ [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday 12 July 2010 12:57
” If there is no urgent care, you must advance the costs. You can declare your fully itemized bill to us upon your return to the Netherlands. Make a copy of the invoice for your own records”.
Until, of course, the declaration came in: people could not read the invoices, because they were in Thai (no, NL hospitals write in only one language, Bumrungrad in two: Thai and English)
Also a lot of other reasons such as: no medical report of the treatments (well), not specified enough (up to needles of 120 THB was still broken down).
In the end: "ineffective care" (so.. imagine charlatans, quacks of ALL treatments in BRR, even for the MRI scans, which were used afterwards for double back surgery in VGZ-kontraktzhs in Brasschaat.)
The most important treating medical specialist for me, Dr Verapan Kuansongtham ) can be seen on many links (see google): demonstrating new techniques, also in St Anna Zhs Herne – Germany and Chicago (page 3). Clearly not the first-of-its-kind.
In short: the only certainty you have with an insurance policy is that you will certainly have lost your premium money.
@ Harry I have been treated twice in Bangkok Hospital, have claimed the costs, provided a medical report, written in a fairly illegible handwriting (English), and have been properly reimbursed for the costs. And I hadn't even asked permission for the treatments. Be sure to include a cover letter with it. Maybe that helped.
I have been going to the dentist in Pattaya for years with complete satisfaction.
(Chulakorn on second road)
Pay 1000-1200 baht for check-up, tartar removal and polishing.
You rarely need to make an appointment, you can usually sit right away.
Oh, you just ate? Here you have a toothbrush set including Listerine.
Moreover, they take the time for you.
There is a lot of competition, so the dentists in Thailand know that they can make a difference with good service and quality.
Greetz, Dirk
Ironic of course, but of course not far from the truth.
Continue in this way.
Ron (Mijdrecht Netherlands) (also acquainted with Rik van Heijningen, oodyrentals Thailand)
I go for a checkup twice a year. Costs 2 bath for tartar and polishing. Once a year I go to NongKhai and in recent years 500x to Chiangmai. The reason for this, I just want 1 different dentists to check my teeth.
In NongKhaim I had a number of fillings put in. Wear and tear due to brushing too hard. No drilling involved. Everything is done with the help of lasers. Costs 500 baht per filling and are still there after 6 years.
Had a tooth problem 5 years ago. Would need a crown, which my dentist couldn't make. Finally I went to a dentist in Udon Thani, who assured me that a crown was not necessary. He was able to fill the tooth and gave a 2-year warranty. Now after 5 years still fine and without complaint. Costs, instead of a crown also 500 baht.
In the Netherlands I had a dentist who had so much work on my ex's prayer. that it became unaffordable. There were so many complaints about him that he was suspended as a dentist. Turned out to put fillings without cavities, etc. I met that dentist later in Benidorm (Spain), where he just had a practice again.
Henk, at the Clock Tower there are maybe 20 close together. Most dentists in Thailand are women, but this was a man, quite tall (I believe) and then about 40 years old I guess. He was in a side street in a fairly long clinic. If you want to know more precisely, tomorrow I will be in Udon and I will look for you.
I live in Udonthani and should go to the dentist soon too. Could you give me that address?
Dank U
Hi Joe,
that is as follows:
56/27 Udondudsadee
Markkeang, Muang
That's at the roundabout with the big clock and picture of the king, the Clock Tower,
You will see a red mailbox at the roundabout, enter the courtyard there and after approx. 30-40 meters is the practice on the left.
Ask for Koy, my wife, she can speak to you in Dutch.
Good luck,
Henk
Dear Henk, maybe you can give a more detailed address in Udonthani, the city is quite big so not easy to find without further description.
Have been looking for a good and affordable dentist in Udonthani for a while.
I have already been to the military hospital where there is also a dentist's practice on site, but Dutch prices are maintained for some operations.
The female dentist there has obtained all diplomas in the USA and tries to charge them to the Farang. so i'm still looking.
Sincerely, Joe
We have also been going to the dentists in Thailand for many years, especially my husband. He has had his entire teeth fixed, old fillings removed and new ones put in. Had several crowns placed and root canal treatments and without a penny after pain. Everything is done very meticulously and hygenic. I took a new set of dentures with porcelain teeth 2 years ago, which is the most expensive but beautiful and had to pay approx. 700 euros, but I have a click system that is much more expensive. My dental technician told us that he is in the Netherlands approx. 1500 would cost. We always go to elite smile in cangmai to our full satisfaction. Maybe a little more expensive than elsewhere, but we are very satisfied there and that is also important.
Several dentists in the Netherlands advertise that under dentures cost 3000 euros, so the story is correct
The under click dentures in the Netherlands are fully reimbursed from the basic insurance, subject to a personal contribution of € 250, and for the story above the self, even if this is a lot more expensive, permission is first requested from the insurance for both.
It is not that bad in the Netherlands and the price list is generally known and can be picked from the internet.
Have had lower implants for 2 years. 2 pieces. works fine, and is still in the basic package in the Netherlands. Costs about € 4500, had to pay € 250 yourself. This only applies to lower dentures, above
request special permission from the insurer for my teeth. I was at VGZ at the time
Last year, in Pattaya, I dropped off my girlfriend at the hairdresser and would pick her up an hour later. On the way to the hairdresser I passed a few dental practices and it occurred to me that my teeth needed some maintenance. So I had an hour for that and went to the first dentist I saw. Just indicated that I wanted to know what it was going to cost me before the treatment. After a short examination, it turned out that I had 1 hole and I had broken off a piece of my tooth (a year earlier). Also, pictures had to be taken. The total cost would be 1500 Bath, about 38 Euro. Well, I didn't have to think about that for a second. Everything was neatly repaired and after paying I went to pick up my girlfriend at the hairdresser with a big smile. She immediately saw that I was no longer missing a piece of my front tooth. But when I told what I paid she said that was too much. I should have taken her with me, she said, then it would have cost at least 500 baht less.
Well I was very satisfied and I got it nicely reimbursed from my insurance. But here too, the Thai pay even less than the average farang.
@KhunPeter…
Hallo,
This is a wonderfully written column, with wonderful humour.
What I am interested in is an address of a good dental practice in Pattaya.
My room is on soi buakhao, and I went to the Pattaya memorial hospital a few hundred meters away for a consultation a few weeks ago and paid 2000 Bth, and my Thai girlfriend was with me anyway.
Best regards.
Rudy.
A new hygienic and well-equipped clinic has been opened since February 24, 2015
on Soi Khao Talo, a side street of Sukhumvit, diagonally opposite Thepprasit road.
Across the railway line, on the right in a new building nr.113/261
Inspection and cleaning 600 B
Filling average 500 B
x-ray 120 B,etc.
Appointments are kept on time!
Wonderful story and full of humour.
The Dutch Dentist Mafia finally put in the spotlight .
I also know the whole story from the past when I still lived in Holland.
And just pay the health insurance, they don't check anything.
Here in Thailand, from my experience, good work and certainly not expensive.
But the most beautiful dentist treatment can be seen on Youtube.
I think the best dentist in the world Inspector Clouseau pulls a tooth at Dreyfuss
Jan Beute.
It's still a good piece @Khun Peter, but unfortunately I never go to the dentist smiling, ... but that's just me 🙂
but my wallet feels a lot better in Thailand, and that makes me a lot happier afterwards,… An example,… a molar on an implant in the Netherlands 2.300 Euro / Thailand 1.100 Euro
semi-annual check-up at a dentist in the Netherlands 60.= Euro at the other 120.= Euro, but in Thailand 20.= Euro
And they make and CAN make something that they don't start in the Netherlands with the words,..that can't be done, don't keep etc etc,...it is possible in Thailand and it has been for 6 years to full satisfaction
Wishing everyone a happy dentist holiday, because here the sun is shining and you can show your teeth 🙂
My dentist in the Netherlands charges €23 for a half-yearly or annual check-up, if there is not a lot of tartar, he will do this for free. Maybe it's because he is also Asian (Vietnamese), works very accurately, does everything alone and therefore has no expensive and unnecessary dental hygienists in my opinion.
If I read all this carefully, I must conclude that dental care in Bangkok is much more expensive than in the rest of Thailand.
Last week I toured around Bangkok (Thong Lo area) and visited several dental practices (10) to gather information, more specifically thorough dental cleaning, placement of a crown on molar, an implant, removal of a tooth, etc..
Average prices were:
– Removal of a tooth (pulling a tooth): 800-2000 THB, depending on the degree of difficulty and any complications.
– Implant (lower jaw), including crown: 55.000 – 70.000 THB (American or Swedish made).
– Total thorough dental cleaning (deep-cleaning, 2x one hour of work): 4.000 – 8.000 THB.
– Crown on molar (tooth no. 27) porcelain on ziconium or on 56% gold substructure: 15.000 – 20.000 THB.
It must be said that this does not concern services provided by ordinary general dentists, but by specialist doctors in dentistry.
The rates in Bangkok Hospital Dental division are in the same order but on the upper side of the prices mentioned.
However, there are big differences with what I read about dental visits in the rest of Thailand.
Almost all dental practices of significance (in Bangkok) also have a webpage on which, among other things, most rates can be consulted, also with the names (with photo) of the doctors and dentists who work there, also with their curriculum of their studies.

Am an anxiety patient, had to go to the dentist last year due to direct pain. Choice for bankok hospital cleaning of teeth, photos and 5 cavities costs 695 €. So walked in. First conversation then photos separate department. Cleaning of teeth was done by dentist. Then second appointment filled 2 cavities, next appointment was scheduled later than flight home after consultation, other dentist the 3 other cavities. At the second appointment I was given breathing techniques to stay calm. All in all, the total treatment took 5 hours. Go back next March 31. recommended, was just happy no more fear. Good luck with your teeth.
The dentists in Thailand are great, nothing but compliments for the dentist I went to at the Hilton complex in Pattaya. In complicated implants above and below a normal denture., Never have I been able to chew so well, For about 450 000 baht, it seems a lot, but in your older age, you should not cut back on your enjoyment of life and I enjoy this every day.
Can I also write my reader question here?
Did I read it right? 450.000THB?
That must have been a very complicated implant, right?
It would be a great pity that you couldn't chew properly for that price.
Wouldn't the word "Hilton" also be part of the price tag.
Anyway for that price you don't necessarily have to come to Thailand.
In my humble opinion, your treatment is indeed very expensive, all things considered.
Not only does it look expensive, it IS also very expensive.
But oh yes, if you have the money available and you are happy with it, there is nothing to worry about.
Hi Mitch,
First of all, it's nice that I now know the origin of the dentists.
Thank you kuhn Peter.
But ancestors is too far away from our dentist.
His parents are from there.
Do not write with a fork, but with a comb.
I must also admit that he does a perfect job.
That may also be said.
We also pay 420.- baht for a kilo of Edam cheese or Gouda cheese.
Our 1st class insurance, Toyota Fortuner, 3 liter diesel, 238.99/year.(Euro)
I don't remember the diesel price with the Netherlands, but it will definitely be much cheaper here.
What makes car insurance cheaper is that they don't force you to go to a Toyota garage with damage.
I thought that saved us 8 or 9000 baht and unfortunately we had to experience it, but they repair beautifully.
Many people don't know this.
I hope I was able to help a few tb-ers with this.
You better buy a nut for it.
You don't have to accept those shopping bags of medicines.
See what they want to give you first.
Real good olive oil is also very expensive in the Netherlands.
Peanut butter, yes. 170 baht I believe. Is expensive.
But, now I'm going to make it myself.
If it comes out nice, I'll give a roar to TB.
I make 2 types.
One with sambal oelek and one plain.
I can't say electricity and water, because a nice garden in which the necessary equipment also needs some electricity, that also cuts into it.
And fanatical users of air conditioning in the bedroom.
No, what you can do here in terms of living and living, that is really not possible in the Netherlands.
LOUISE
Dear Louise,
After reading your response, I was a bit lost. I'm wondering what:
the price of Edam cheese and Gouda cheese
a first class insurance for the car
repairing a car
good olive oil
peanut butter, homemade with sambal or regular
electricity and water in a large garden
fanatic use of air conditioning in the bedroom
related to dental visits?
For some items I find a connection:
a properly repaired car gives less chance of accidents where you can lose a few molars
good olive oil: yes good oil for healthy and lubricated teeth
Peanut butter: I once heard the Dutch slogan: “Eat peanut butter because peanut butter promotes sex” on the radio, but I was unaware that it was also good for the teeth, especially the homemade one.
I also see a connection somewhere with fanatical use of air conditioning: due to the cold air currents and the ever-present bacteria in the air conditioner, a risk of gum inflammation may be greater…
High prices: are of course not good for the teeth because the dissatisfaction with this leads to gnashing of teeth.
Was this a “lost” response to another posting or are the connections I found correct after all?
LS Lung addie
Eddie,
Everything can be reduced to the second and third sentences of the article.
When Dutch people read a text that contains words such as paying too much or a quarter cheaper, they can no longer be held back.
At some prices you can of course also bite your teeth…. 🙂
Can you give me the address of this dentist, I have not come across him yet. I live in Hua Hin.
My first holiday in Thailand was all about dental renovation for me and my wife at the time, 4 weeks in Chiang Mai (Fortune dentists) and still very satisfied, always checking in advance what we were going to do and 20% of the price I would have paid in the Netherlands at that time.
True, and the strange thing is; an anesthesia costs nothing, [is not calculated] and a photo costs almost nothing other than here, there also, I have been hibernating like this for 4 years, and set the heating at home to 8 degrees, bark my car v / d call / comp. and, do not fill up with expensive petrol in the winter months, do not use expensive December, etc.etc.etc. and rent my apartment in Thailand per month for around 300 euros per month, in short, fine right…..
Only you will notice that the euro is now sinking, so that you are currently very 30% more expensive than compared to a good year ago.
I go to the dentist every year for a cleaning in Thailand, here in the Netherlands every 3 months. At my last checkup where X-rays were taken, it turned out that I had 4 holes in various places. Under bridges and crowns. I have now had 2 crowns replaced for 1200 euros. For the rest I have not asked for a price, now I want to find a good dentist in Thailand, preferably in the area of Rayong. Does anyone have experience with a dentist. In Rayong you have several dental clinics so far I have been to the Bangkok hospital but they seem to be more expensive than other clinics.
Opposite Leamtong is a very good one
Dirt cheap those Thai dentists. 4.400 Euros, 450.000 Baht. I myself have clicks below and above, above on 4 and below on 2 implants, all in NL. Had to pay 445 Euro yourself, the insurance paid the rest. My dear NL dentist charges 19 Euro for a six-monthly check-up. Pays the insurance, never see a bill. Can always come by, no need to shop or search the internet. Life is wonderfully uncomplicated in NL.
A good \story and it matches my experiences in Thailand. I often don't have to wait long for my teeth to be cleaned. This can often be done immediately or within a few hours.
A warning is in order: I had my teeth cleaned in Bangkok in February and the dentist said that I had a cavity in my teeth that they will fill on the spot. Because I have already had a bad experience with this in Germany, I have also refused this here. Back in the Netherlands I went to my own dentist and he could not find a cavity at all; not even on an x-ray.
A second opinion is advisable in such cases.
In the Netherlands I had a very good dentist and I had very bad teeth (probably post-war) We put a crown on it, then you are rid of the problems for your whole life was his advice! Until the tooth with crown failed, yes now we have to make a bridge of 3 and that went on until bridges of 4, 5 and even one of 6. That last one has now also failed! If I asked about the price of such a bridge, he said, for example, 4 point 3. What do you mean by that? 4300 guilders! A year later, this dentist bought a villa for 1 million guilders in Garmisch Partenkirchen!
Now I'm in Thailand and I can renovate or restore the business here.
My experience is: Almost all dentists are good, exchanging addresses is actually not necessary.
I have received the cheapest treatments and very good quality in the Thai Government Hospitals, in this case in Chiangrai. You just have to be able to handle the crowds in those hospitals, you can also love that and you are definitely not offered a cup of coffee and you sit on a wooden bench and not in a chair. And invariably ask the same questions beforehand and measure the blood pressure! But the lady now knows my answers, which she answers herself: "Allergy mie poeing, mai boeri, mai lukewarm, mai boom boom", or: "allergic only for women, no smoking, no drinking, no sex". And then everyone enjoys it again.
Some price examples. Consultation or small treatment, normally 200 Bath, root canal treatment 4 x 200 Bath, the 5th was free. My wife went to a private hospital, Sriburin Chiangrai, and paid 4 x 2000 baht, the 5th was free, then another doctor still had to pull this tooth, for 300 baht.
Cost of small teeth in Chiangrai hospital 400 bath, large teeth 4000-5000 bath. Crowns from 3100 bath (standard) to about 5000 bath each. Implants around 40.000 bath. (quite a hefty price!)
In this hospital, 15 specialists, including a surgeon, work in this department. With a complication I had 5 different specialists at the chair in 3 minutes, and had to pay 200 baht again!
The same doctors work after 5 pm in their private clinic in the city, and then every consultation or treatment is + 1000 Bath.
It is therefore up to everyone to decide for themselves which choice to make!
Martin
Hello Martin,
would like to know more about this dentist because of the crowns that have a nice price.
If there are other providers, I would also like to hear about this price. I often come to Hua Hin but much more expensive there.

Control and cleaning is now 600 B
Loved going to the small clinics near Khao San road in several years. Good quality for about 20% of the price in NL. I have also been to a dentist in the province (Loei). Refill for 400 baht. Then paid double because there were also regular Thai people who can't always afford it. Been to a clinic in Prachuap KK in April 2017. Make an appointment well in advance or wait for a gap in the schedule. Before cleaning there was time for an extensive treatment that I was not hoping for. Rate was a lot higher there about 30/35% of NL price.
Indeed. In recent years, the prices at the dentists in Hua Hin have also risen sharply. It is true that everything is still a lot cheaper than in the Netherlands and Belgium, but I suspect that it is about double compared to five years ago…
Perhaps the late Don Corleone also made sweet trips to Thailand…
It's beautifully written and best of all, it's absolutely true.
Good afternoon,
Interesting article and comments.
Does anyone know a reliable and good dentist or Dental Clinic in Maha Sarakham? For crowns, and or implants and bone building?
