Extraction.
A simple procedure - an extraction - in a tourist town known for pricey cosmetic treatments to visiting tourists, so I was very satisfied to have an email response from Dr Chatchai to see me on a Sunday for a free consultation / assessment. Xray the only charge at 150 B. Friendly and informative advice. Cost estimate was 1000 B to 1500 B depending on the difficulty as this was a large back tooth. The local anaesthetic injection was good, not numbing, I could talk normally. The extraction was totally painless. There were three medicines prescribed - antibiotics and anti-inflammatory which I would buy at a discount pharmacy. The bill in clinic was 1000 B, the lower end of what was indicated earlier. Very friendly and professional service given for a very basic inexpensive procedure.
Excellent central location in the cities top shopping mall on the Beach Rd. I was Manager / MC of the 'Pattaya Expats Club' meeting the following Sunday and highly recommended this clinic to fellow expats living all year in Thailand, as some are on modest pensions and appreciate cost effective health solutions. I also illustrated the What Clinic website how it saves 'legwork' visiting clinics to compare services, prices and appointments. A good resource!
