Front Zircon Crown snapped at it’s base. Which was Somewhat unexpected. Lovely dentist in Khon Kaen who lectures at KKU faculty of Dentistry. Tooth extracted, zero infection or root canal issues allowed an implant and bone graft same day. 25,000Baht.Around the same for the Zircon Crown and abutment in three months time. Reasonable pricing and World class Dentistry.
Could you please provide me with the name of the dental clinics in Bangkok? I am interested in getting some implant dental work done and would like to visit a clinic in the near future. Thank you for your assistance.
I recently needed a crown and a filling in NYC. This was not a emergency situation. It cost me $3200. And I know my dentist isn't cheap, but he's good.
That's good. We took advantage of traveling in Thailand and get our teeth done at the same time. So for us was very convenient. That sounds like a very reasonable price for NYC 😃 is that the average price?
@@wetravelslow This is the first one I've had done. So I can't give you an average. This guy is on Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, so even for he city, he's going to be pricey. He's more into cosmetic dentistry, and likely does a lot of celebrities. I don't use him for that though.
The only problem I have with Thai dentistry is they still take moulds for crowns and you need at least two visits. My dentist in the USA uses a digital camera and they make the crown on site. Everything in one visit.
My daughter has whole mouth done with a digital camera. We saw the whole 3-D of her teeth for orthodontic. Glad I’m in Thailand and the price is more affordable than back in the US.
@@simbatran Who in Thailand is doing digital and do they do one sitting in house crowns? I've not been able to find a dentist that doesn't still take moulds and use temporary crowns while the permanent crown gets made. ???
Be very careful, behind all the smiles they are a slippery bunch of ell's, I paid 13,000 baht for a denture that didn't fit. They blocked my phone when I complained and couldn't make another appointment. Threw the denture away, dental practice near Tesco's car park in Lamai, Koh Samui, be warned, don't pay until you're are satisfied with the work.
Dont forget to join the celebration of Malaysia Day this year. The event is called "Keretapi Sarong" but it will be held on 14 Sept 2024. (Malaysia Day is actually celebrated on 16th Sept every year but this year the date clash with the Birth of the Prophet Muhammad SAW so they celebrate it earlier due to show some respect i guess) . I am really sure you will enjoy the vibe of Keretapi Sarong because it is a super fun events full of cultures, diversities and colours.
That sounds like something not to miss while in Malaysia! Unfortunately we left the country, but definitely keeping that celebration in mind. Maybe next time we'll travel there. Thank you 😊
You can definitely survive on USD15 a day in Malaysia if you know where to eat. You are spot on when choosing your economy meals. These food courts and kopitiams, as they call it locally, give you the best bang for your buck for every meal. And I still can't understand it when people say food in Malaysia are costlier than in Thailand? Do look at the quality and portions of the food, not only at the price!😅😊
Wow Malaysia was amazing and way cooler than Thailand with the kopitiams and food courts. So much cleaner too . I think alot of tourist come to KL and eat at nice restaurants and miss out on the local food. They also don't come to Malaysia for more than a few days and are not on a strict budget
Not so risky about the weather as May started....anyway other side of Thailand, other monsoon. Add coconut milk with the green curry ?? If you look for spectacular beaches, try Khao Lak ...
Aww thanks for the advice. In Koh Lanta we tried the prawns only with green curry without the coconut milk though, couldn't find the fresh stuff, canned is so-so
I just found your channel and love it. I have a question: did you avail yourself of the fine young Thai women when you were there? I guess having your wife or girlfriend with you would make that pretty well impossible.
There is a story of Thai people said” if I need dental work is cheaper to buy a plane ticket to go home and fix my teeth at home” it is true I experienced that. Plus much more work I pay including plane ticket is still cheaper than in the US and they done a good job.
it wasnt meant to b the city of funfare paradise... but the people just live like that. they are living everyday normal life. to them its normal... stuck in a train is the test. the matrix is testing you.
Well, Kuala Lumpur was a big surprise for us and of course we look at it with tourist's eyes. And getting stuck in the train was a test for us too! 😃 Btw public transport are so great!
I like how both of you focus on the good things and positive vibe of the places you visit instead of some negative tourists and prefer to pick on the not so pleasant things. Life is too short to get stressed over trivial matters, right? So let's be more appreciative of your surroundings and the locals there.😂😂😂
Yes thank you ☺️ your right other people see negativity like the rats in Chinatown but it be viewed from a different perspective and we choose how it will affect our reaction. Malaysia is very dear to us and the people there holding on to traditions and culture are what make it so alive and brilliant.
As for batu caves. First it was a shelter for the Temuan (indegenous tribe)..The british came and brought in chinese tin miners, the tin miners also grew vegetable patch for their food supplies and they found out the caves have a good supply of guano (bat poop) to make fertilizer....then an American naturalist, make the official discovery of it as he wrote in his records of traveling, a tamil hindu promote it as a place of worship to lord murugan as he said the shape of the entrance is the same shape of the 'vel' the spear that lord murugan wielded.
i think anti opium campaign came about probably earlier i thought it was maybe even before WW1. In the 80s when i was a toddler i can still remember anti narcotic advertisement on tv - death penalty lol.
That's why we shouldn't just Google information haha. Thanks for the insights. A friend said there was the big fire that came and burned that whole brothel area down so the government renewened the entire place. What year did that happen?
@@wetravelslow err a brothel? well that i don't know i am in the states now but that said Malaysia is a Muslim country. If there is one it would not be legal , there are even vice policing by the Islamic ministry. Those things wouldn't fly i wouldn't be surprised if the vice police burn it down on purpose lol. Laws and regulations there are almost as strict as Singapore.
@wetravelslow oh I see. Well malaysia is one of only 17 countries in this world with mega diversity. Of course it is stunning. Just do not look at the palm oil plantations lol. Only 3 countries in south east Asia are under this UN list. Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia. Top 3 places with ancient rainforest are daintree Australia, borneo lowland, peninsula malaysia. Nope amazon is not old.
Our travel adventure has taken us to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, what a surprise this place was! You can also watch our shocking first time in Vietnam ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mgaOUVHhqW0.html
