No idea, I had my teeth cleaned in Chiang Mai.

In 90% of cases, you will get a superficial tooth cleaning. There is hardly any cleaning under the gums.

This is already an older thread, but I have something informative to contribute. It is best to see a periodontist who offers a deep cleaning. Then you get approximately what is done in a professional dental cleaning, e.g. in Germany or Switzerland (by a dental hygienist). Regular dentists in Thailand usually only clean superficially with ultrasonic and that is absolutely not enough.

If the stores have the "LazMall" sign, you are on the safe side. For supplements, however, it's recommended to use iherb as already mentioned.

I'm in my mid-30s, so this is the only option for me.

That’s correct

You are welcome to write to TVC yourself and ask what their services cost. Concerning effort, on the normal way you have to bring 2 witnesses to the immigration etc. You don't have to do that with TVC. You send all your documents and photos and later you get your passport back with a stamp. It couldn't be easier, but the costs are too high this year.

I just wanted to give a little feedback on TVC's prices. They are now charging a total of 80k baht for the marriage visa. Quite expensive… Fortunately, I have enough money in my Thai bank account to go the "normal" way. I would have liked to save myself the extra work, but I'm not willing to pay that price out of sheer convenience.

Try Sauna. 15-20 minutes (5-10 if you are a Sauna novice) 80 degrees Celsius.

They got me full on in Pak Nam Pran 2 months ago. Both legs were full of stings and had to be treated with a cream containing cortisone. They probably got me in the evening when there was no wind. I still have some marks from the stitches.

As soon as you leave the city of Chiang Mai, I agree. In the more rural areas, the food is great.

My ex-wife also drinks a lot. Unfortunately, it never stopped. My new wife drinks a maximum of 1 beer per month. The relationship is going great and I'm glad I ended the old relationship. Good luck!

We are moving to Prachuap Khiri Khan after 2 years in Chiang Mai. The last burning season was disastrous. There is also a lot of traffic jam especially during the high season. The food is not very good either, it is too bland. No comparison to the food in the rest of Thailand. The friendliness of the people is also decreasing because more and more people from Bangkok live here, unfortunately. I definitely cannot recommend Chiang Mai.
