Another nightmare from the folks at Hypnotopia

150% I recommend Thantakit. I'm in the second phase of an extraction, bone graft and implant. Great staff, discounts for certain cash or direct payments, high quality work with no up sells. They pick you up at your hotel or residence and drop you back off. And a mix of wealthier Thais and foreigners make up their clientele

Take one look at Portland OR. San Fransisco or Seattle WA and about 30% of the rest of America and then rethink your comments.

Interesting....thanks. I wish they had Okinawa and Fukuoka. I'm looking at those as alternatives to Thailand if the second Global Tax revision is approved.

If you think that Thailand does not have the tools and capabilities to enforce this law you are wrong. My calculations indicate that if you are here over 180 days, are single and over 65, if you remit one million baht to Thailand in a tax year you will have a tax liability. And to the degree that remittance crosses the one million mark that liability goes up significantly. Everything is trackable...Wise, Credit Cards. ATM withdrawals...literally everything. If you believe that this is going to be short lived, not enforced or is lacking in details I think you will be in for an unpleasant surprise

I'm in the beginning phase of an extraction, bone graph, implant process. I'm using Thantakit in Bangkok. So far they have exceeded my expectation in every way...in terms of quality of work, Customer Service and honesty and integrity.

Let me preface this by saying I know nothing about Thai Banks or their products and will be entering Thailand with my Non-Immigrant O next week and so have no experience with the process that follows. I'm always see mention of "accounts" in relation to the 800k Baht requirement. My thought would be to open a Thai CD or Term Deposit for that money and keep it separate and apart from money I'd use for everyday living expenses. Do the banks offer Time Deposits with some minimal amount of interest? Or is that just not how things work?

I have gotten two Visas from the LA Consulate over the last 8 months. Both times took less then 10 business days. I found the Consulate to be very helpful, they pick up the phone and reply to emails very quickly.

Hi Razzell....thanks for the reply. Trying to figure out the best option is a lot like reading hotel reviews. Ten people love a place and then two reviews say its beyond horrible. Dental Hospital Bangkok seems to get high marks for actual dental work and abysmal ratings on overall management and customer service. BIDC came up in my original research but I haven't done a deep dive into their reviews. I'm still in the US and will be getting an depth analysis / treatment plan from my US doctor which gives me the advantage of evaluating what the Thai dentist will be recommending. In the meantime, I'm still waiting to hear back on my application for a Non-Immigrant O Visa which of course precedes all this.

Thanks so much Scoutman and Polar Bear

I'm not sure sure these are the three best choices, but I'm looking for the best quality most experienced Endodontist I can find in Bangkok for either root canal or an implant. My only criteria is best quality of work, cost everywhere in Thailand is affordable more or less.
