First Sakon Nakhon Dental Experience 2002

The year 2002,
prices have gone up!

I had lost a filling and was sucking on the hole in my tooth almost constantly during a month long vacation.
I went to a local dentist:

• Cleaning, temporary filling, another cleaning, etc..
• Three days of short dental visits.
• The treatment was outstanding.
• That tooth has not been of any special concern in seven years.

Then came the bill. I was standing in a fully occupied waiting room when I was handed the bill.
Everyone in the place was sitting up at the edge of their chairs when I VERY LOUDLY exclaimed:

What ?

The dentist rushed from his office " Too much?" he asked.
No. I was in joyful tears: 300 baht ($7.50 at the time).
