Why punish those who are well behaved and pay their bills?

Because it seems to be the Thai way....I am Only half way joking......Even if 99.9999% of people dont do some thing bring down the hammer on everyone for the .0001% who make problems...

Maybe not drugs, he looks a bit malnourished, that would make him a bit edgy!

As others have said the price seems very cheap, especially including X-ray.

Since the clinic has filed a complaint i guess they are legit, so many fake "dentists" in Thailand.

He shouldn’t be hard to locate with that picture ! Throw him in the slammer and blacklist his passport

Geez, not only old age freaks on US 🙏

Yes, what can you get done for 400฿ in a dental clinic? A couple of coffees?

The manager of the dental clinic deserves to lose the 400 baht .She told the police that he was affected by drugs and looked dodgy when he came in and she should have given him a quote first and when he paid up do the job or tell him that they are fully booked and go elsewhere. She will no doubt have to make good with the money...serves her right.

And here I thought that dope smokers were supposed to be mellow and easy going. I guess this shows otherwise.

More likely crystal meth.

When the police catch him he should be made to tell the Tooth the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth 😁

Seriously? 400 Baht! What is wrong with these idiots? They behave like imbeciles when they get over here - is it the water, the booze or drugs? I mean they were obviously 'well' enough to get from their home to the airport and on to Thailand, what happened next?

Its normal price 100 per x-ray

You must have a crap dentist then, my suggestion.. get a qualified one.

I think it's coming from a country that acts, and doesn't tolerate this non-sense and getting to Pattaya Thailand where Thai's are more tolerant and will accept this non-sense behavior if the money is good enough.

Basically you have more freedoms in some areas in Thailand. Then if their non-sense behavior is tolerated they keep escalating their behavior. Sometimes reaching the level a Thai guy needs to knock some sense back into them.

Then there is the many women and the foreigner having to find someway to attract the pretty girls attention if he doesn't have money, looks, or ability to talk and peek the women's interest.

Should have knocked his teeth out ! 😄

Acts like a scum, looks like a scum🤢🤢🤢

Are you saying she should have lacked compassion. Supposedly he in was in pain and possibly suffering from sepsis which can be fatal if not attended to. Not sure where you are from, but I don't think she was motivated by money.

"The clinic manager has urged authorities to tighten screening measures for tourists" ?

I believe it would be more effective to first restrict the sale of cannabis.

That has nothing to do with dentists.

I just hope he develops a really bad tooth ache and suffers a lot o fpain

His pictures and identifying tattoos are all over the web now. He's screwed. Someone will know him. The clinic will be giving the final middle finger when they press charges.

I want to be one of those 'it wasn't like this a few years ago' ...

where are all these scum bags coming from ?

That would the cheapest local dentist for a simplistic tooth extraction, or a paid consult at a dentist where it should be free (virtually anywhere). Can't trust dentists in Thailand, I had several times that they told me i needed work done while it turned out to be false.

Vietnam now offers free flights + luxury hotel while getting treatments, implants cost just 20K baht too over 60K for the same in Thailand. Just a few days ago Vietnam did 6 organ transplants from 1 brain dead patient to 6 other patients, with 200 people, with success.

It's just funny at this point, they really stand no chance against these Vietnamese, all economy and business will slowly bleed to them. It even shook things up in China, they are impressed by Vnam, that says plenty. China gov also capped implants to 600 USD each.

Remember this dentist in Chiang Mai wanting to take me for half a million, saying my lower teeth would be done within 2 years max, meanwhile we are now 12 years later, not a single issue.

Absolute bull<deleted>. There's excellent and cheap dental treatment in Thailand. You have to go to the dental department of any medical university (the public one, not the international) and you receive good treatment for a very low price

I have tattoos on my arms and chest. I'm 82 and have never dodged a dental, or any other sort of bill in my life.

Does one say Mom and the other an anchor? (hehe, just kidding!)

Maybe the alleged perp has a different version of events. Two sides to every story and all that ....

Wait until they all drop out after a couple of years, they use inferior products. Then all your teeth will be on the floor and your gums will need to come out 🤣😂🤣

Like most drugs weed can lead to psychosis/psychotic episodes. Most people can use it safely a few can't. Those who can't should leave it alone.

Yes, paranoia is one possible side effect.

Good point... a filling usually costs me near 2000 baht.

You are going to the wrong dentist buddy. 🤷🏼

Archie Bunker is amiss. Weed smokers are indeed a mellow lot. There was NO evidence the low life had

smoked weed. Only a guess by Dental staff. I hope they catch him and do an Extraction out of the Country.

“He appeared dishevelled, with a smell resembling cannabis and displayed behaviour suggesting he may have been under the influence of a substance.”

NO evidence? Maybe he would have acted as he did with or without weed, but the report states there was evidence he did.
