Today I went to see the dentist in Bangkok. I had my teeth checked out and did a cleaning. Total cost was 1500 baht or about $43 USD. The dentist didn’t need to do x-rays since my teeth had no cavities and there was no visible issues but if you want a holistic view of the offerings watch this Youtube video below.

Incidentally, I went to see the same dentist as the guy in this video. My appointment was at 1:30 p.m. and I was seen at 1:32 p.m. I was taken to the chair and asked if I wanted a blanket or head pillow much like you get in business class when flying.

The procedure was nearly identical to what I get in the United States. First the spinning tool working each tooth followed by manual scrapping then the polish. The process was over in about 30 minutes. I paid using my Visa credit card and headed out. It was one of the fastest and most efficient dental visits I’ve ever had.

Steak Dinner

Last night, we had dinner at New York Steak Restaurant. This restaurant has won Michelin awards the past few years so we were eager to try it and it did not disappoint.

I had an authentic Japanese Wagyu steak which I believe was rated at A4. The wife had an Australian 8 oz called “Little Joe Tenderloin” and both steaks were amazing. We complimented the meat with green beans, steak fries and broccoli.

A fancy dinner at a Michelin rated restaurant will run you about 9000 baht or $250 USD.
