Thailand Costs of Medical and Dental Procedures

in pattaya had a simple clean and polish only 500 baht (£11) compared to about £40 back home and it was a great job to!!

Thx for the reply JC. Apartment living would be most convenient for us. Seems to me every big corporation is out to gouge the average consumer here in Australia from the price of fuel, groceries & it looks like we're even paying more for the same items that u get overseas! When will this corporate greed end?! Don't they understand that u can't make record profits each & every year.

Hi JC will appreciate it if u could email the info to me. Is living in an apartment more secure than in a house in terms of crime? & what's the crime rate there like in Chiang Mai & Bangkok? Maybe u could shed some light on this topic. All the times that we've visited Bangkok we've felt safe going around the shopping centers & main streets.

@happymama26 Couldn't find a way to send this direct so here goes.

House or apt? Apartment if the building is secure. Houses have to many ways to enter although most have security bars on all windows.

Crime is much higher in a big city like Bangkok. There are areas probably not safe to walk in either late at night. But you would never feel unsafe in Chiang Mai walking around.

There are other cities in Thailand I would feel unsafe in for sure.

Hey JC can u pls ask Bruce if he's willing to share what dental procedures he had done & the total cost so that we may compare it with Bangkok. Tried to join up for membership today but can't do it thru the iPhone :(

The only subject I'm not really thrilled about is the topic on :How to have a fulfilling & trusting relationship with a Thai.

Well maybe my husband might have a different point of view!!!:) LOL

@happymama26 Haaa! Funny! Sorry about the iPhone. Working on that! He has gone back to the US. Maybe he will post a video. Or I can send the info to you.

I stayed a month.It really gave me a good idea of what it would be like living there.Plus you can't knock the medical savings.I saved a ton having my dental work done at the University.

[retirecheapjc]

@RichVoyages Yea, you got a real taste for what it's like here. Not bad huh Rich?

[RichVoyages]

@retirecheapjc Loved it! You pick up a van yet? We all look forward to your videos from Cambodia,Lao and Viet Nam. :-) When you go to Lao you should hook up with Nigel Sutton.He's very knowledgeable about Lao.Nice guy.

[retirecheapjc]

@RichVoyages Not yet but working on it.

LOL At my age I need a full body lift--so it seems the savings would be like my current body--enormous.

[retirecheapjc]

@chronicreader Sounds like a whole retirement fund huh?
