ronjomtien Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Is there anything you can do, and I admit to stupidity in the process of paying, if a dentist charges you double the Pattaya rate when finished for a regular cleaning? I didn't even ask for a receipt nor was it offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here2008 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I have no idea what the "Pattaya rate" is! Dentists are free to charge whatever they feel the market will pay. You should have ASKED about the fee BEFORE you had the work done, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 As said there is no set rate for Pattaya or anywhere else. And even in the same office it can vary by what is required. How much did you pay in all? You should have received a receipt if you had asked but expect smaller shops would prefer not to have on books for tax reasons as is the case for all business here if you do not ask.

seasia Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 What did you pay ? The last time I had my teeth cleaned, I paid 600 baht, there was a sign outside stating 500 baht for teeth cleaning but before I went ahead the dentist said it would cost 600. I was happy to pay that, my teeth were in a state and he spent a fair bit of time cleaning, did a good job. I had the choice to decline, chose to accept. Could I have got cheaper ? Maybe, don`t really know or much care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Unless it was, one obvious answer is go to a recommended dentist next time, boycotting this one, and make sure you ask as everybody else has said. If this one came recommended you may want to mention who/where and what the standard of the work was like....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhonKaenKowboy Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Likely still less than a fourth of the OPs home country. Being price sensitive is normal...not asking the price, then making a big deal is not. "Standard price,".... must be a Brit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Most places here seem to charge around 500-800B for a simple clean but for me that's not good enough. When I get it what I call a proper deep clean done it generally costs around 1200B per jaw as I need injections and they take over an hour to do each jaw. They do it on two different days. Back in Europe the same thing used to cost about 5000B for both jaws and took around an hour in total, done in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjomtien Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I did ask up front and they said 900. If you google all the price lists online say regular is 600 to 1200.

Sent from my GT-N5100 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app You said no receipt - are you talking about an earlier cleaning for that 1500 baht receipt? What was the price charged for this cleaning? FYI here in Bangkok paid 2350 baht last month at a top facility for scaling/cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdrayong Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I had an excellent dentist for professional teeth cleaning at Pattaya Klang, located here. She worked there at least on Wednesdays, 600 Baht for the job with which my dentist, my friends and their dentists have always been very happy with. Her name is Dr. Siriying. Recently I wanted make another appointment, but the telephone seemed not to work. So I went there and found a mattress shop instead of the dental clinic. Does anybody happen to know where she moved?

roo860 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sure are a lot more Thais wearing Yankee hats than Eurotrash kickball teams'. The retarded do seem to like the fake ManU jerseys, though. Goes well with prison tattoos. Fortunately not too many Thais walking around with their jeans hanging below their backsides.
