Horror Stories
It happens to every traveller and it can be either a badge of honour or a dark secret. I was riding a motor bike in southern Thailand and had a little accident. Some people hit bumps while they were speeding, I swerved to dodge a monkey. That is a pretty honourable reason for an accident, and unlike many of the other travellers who have motor bike accidents, I was actually sober. The problem was I cracked a couple of teeth. Thailand is not the worst place in the world for a dental emergency. It is actually known as a cheap and fun place to go on a dental holiday. I decided to head back up north to Bangkok’s Khao San road to search out somebody who could fix my teeth. I figured the best way to get advice about quality and prices was to sit in a traveller’s cafe and smile. I was completely right, soon enough this Australian came up to me and told me this horror story about Bangkok Smile dentists, accusing them of Clinical Negligence, malpractice, and ruining his teeth. While it is significantly cheaper to get your teeth fixed in Thailand, you have to remember that if anything goes wrong, you are not going to be protected by the same laws and regulations that you would get in your home country. I was incredibly lucky, not five minutes later I got a great recommendation for a local dentist who spoke English and did a superb job restoring my smile.
