Bangkok Dental

Last month, I went to Bangkok to get some dental work done. (Well, to vacation too of course, but the dental came first.) It was a great experience. Stayed at the same hostel I went to last time~Sukhumvit On Nut.

A GREAT place! by the way. I feel like I have family in Bangkok!  I can't wait to see them again.  Super people, super help, super food!  

Also, on the way, just happened to meet with a friend from Guangzhou who had booked the same flight and same hostel as me.  That is pretty rare given all the choices in Bangkok. We had a good time pal-ing around the city until I had to take care of tooth business.   :[


So, my dental work... Turned out pretty well.   Yay!   I wanted to go to a recommended one called Dentist 51.   I had research it on-line, seen all the pictures, read all the reviews, etc. .    But with time restraints, went to one down the street from the hostel recommended by the front desk personnel.  Their name is in Thai or I would pass it on.    It was on the corner of 89 Sukumvit.  

They spoke English, had real dental equipment and were very gentle. It didn't hurt at all. I was so surprised.   They took x-rays, re-created part of a tooth that needed some attention and even touched-up the one next to it for I think $50.   Amazing.    So affordable.
