Myself? Not at all. That poster was going on about how essentially procedures that were not expensive were no good and that you get what you pay for. I was simply pointing out that that is not at all always true and especially in Thailand. If I read his postcorrectly he paid 150k for an Osteem implant with sinus. I'm paying approximately 52.5k for one Neodent including 10k bone graft, scans. Cash is less 2% as well.

Diclofenac is cheap. I use it on rare occasion for when my lower back is giving me fits.

Can anyone point me to some proper information or answer the following: What happens if you want or need to come off T medicines? A. Oral, gel B. Injections If you do your own injections at home is it an insulin needle or some big long nasty looking thing? Do oral / gel make your testicles really shrink? Oral, gel effective? Some say yes, others no. If on medicines how often do you need to have lab tests performed? Above reading oral, gel seems much safer but also much less effective. Which tests need to be done for an accurate picture? Side effects you personally have encountered. What if you're doing injections and you take a long trip out of Thailand? I wouldn't want to be carrying syringes and whatnot. What is the estimated cost of maintenance of this monthly? Thank you

I have had dengue twice. First time I spent a few days in the hospital. The second time I knew exactly what it was and how to care for myself so I didn't bother. Both times I felt like absolute crap for a month thereafter. The second month I progressively felt better and probably by the end of 60 days I felt restored. I was no older than 47 at the time. I hope this helps but I kind of doubt it. Good luck with your journey

You just overpaid and have a mindset that this procedure needs to cost XYZ or it's no good. You paid a bunch of money for the Korean low end product the lowest success rate. Up to you

This is not always true and often not with Thai dental. You can pay over the top and end up with lower quality materials and procedures. You can pay with the Thais due and end up with great work. Case in point: you paid apparently over the odds for the lesser quality Osteem implant. There you go. I would say that every large clinic in Bangkok that I am familiar with overcharges.

I'm guessing this is for the lower end Osteem implant, limit on bone, one 3D x-ray. So, possible to add additional 20k bone, 10k x-rays.

BKK Smile is a group with many offices. It was a contender for me but was more expensive than where I ultimately have gone. Additional benefit is that my office is steps from MRT. Bangkok smile has a number of locations. Note: I would not go to Mahidol. My experiences there have been mediocre at best, the prices were of little difference than dental services from a actual doctor. The payment process was insanely long and tedious. I would never go back for anything there.

I'm in the process of doing two. This group has a number of branches. If you dm me I can get the Drs name and office locations he works from. I'm using pohan yotin (MRT exit 4). My dentist has been great thus far and I am pleased with the work. Thus far highly recommend. Thus far: two extractions, lots of bone grafted to jaw, little bit of bone + abutment. I just had the first Neodent abutment put in yesterday. I'm guessing the crown isn't porcelain. I forgot to ask. The dentist speaks English well enough. The staff, assistants little or none. All the big dental clinics aimed at tourists are totally overpriced. Usually the prices are very opaque and they'll send you a very long and complex email explanation for their overcharges when you just need a simple breakdown of costs The cost variables are bone grafting and number of scans / x-ray. I've had a bunch of scans, but only charged for two or three. I decline the medicine Total estimated costs for Neodent. A. 52,500 (10) B. 67,500 (25) * (bone) No BS sterilization charges (tip off for a rip off). 2% discount on cash Just watch for hidden charges at the other places especially the big farang clinics Finally, when researching is on this website many times I ran across and individual post that said his preference was for a dentist that works in a single office. I'm quite okay with dentist making the rounds to many offices. I wanted a dentist that how is done as many implants as possible and not sitting around waiting for work.

Most foreign western men in Thailand are not especially well educated, degreed and are solidly working and or possibly middle class. They wear <deleted>*y old clothes, cargo shorts, t shirts and usually black or camo (I honestly don't know which is worse) as well as some ragged ass footwear. Oh, I do love the handsumn men out in long sleeved black shirts. Bring back the 80s!! Black hasn't been cool since forever. Football jersey.. yeah if you're trying to impress the Thai ladies with that one that's a miss.

I don't think there's a comparison at all other than the obvious. In US I'd only been in one strip club in my life and that was tagging along with my business buddies night out crawl. There's nothing really lighthearted about strip clubs in States. They are really expensive. I'm not at all attracted to stripper types in general but especially in US Happened to know something about US club because I lived in a shared house decades ago. It started off with a bunch of students which I was one and ended up when I left was a bunch of strippers. One of them had gonorrhea in her eye or something. They were nothing but drama and banging around late at night high as kites every night

Men always date down for beauty. Women try and date up for money. When a bump into somebody and they prattle on about their gf / wife having a phenomenal job, money they should start the sentence with ... While she's middle aged and not much to look at... Usually these guys are despised by family members especially her children. Often have no access to her money. Absolute idiots. I stopped trying to have relationships with smart women decades ago. Give me an attractive, fun woman every time.

Central Lat Phrao is nice. I'm up there a few times a week. My top pick are the malls down by Chula. You get the Triam and Pathumwan HS girls as well. Lat Phrao is Kasetsart, maybe UTCC and Horwang HS. For not being dead center Bangkok it's surprising what a magnet it is for beautiful women. Union Mall isn't much but after school lets out pretty packed with teens.

Sorry. You'd written you were in BKK?? Past that age - so, over 75? I think you sell yourself and the experience short. Get out and find some chicken.

I'm married. Wife has a decent job so we stay. As stated many times before in this thread not easy to come by. Each day I take off for malls or wherever. Beauties everywhere.
