STILL a better system than anything the USA has. NHS will eventually sort its problems out and go back to being the envy of the world.
I have not yet had dental work done in Thailand, but prices seem to be on par with Colombia. I was quoted 3000 USD for a crown in the USA. I vacationed in Colombia and had the crown installed for 500 USD. Modern clinic and beautiful, mostly female staff. The dental assistant actually held my hand while the dentist was drilling. Definitely a unique experience. My USA dentist told me the work was top quality.
