But, when you do your insurance and the first question is ...'are you travelling for medical procedures?' .... what do you say? 😉*j* said:I've had a front tooth white filling re-done while in Bangkok a few years ago. It was less than half the price of NHS work and a much better match.Done by Bangkok Smile...they have half a dozen branches around Bangkok. I now go there for cleaning every now and then.For something like £25 or less (my best recollection from about 15 years ago) I didn't even think about insurance.Having lasted that long and still without any problems and all but invisible, I'm content with the situation.
