Now you might be thinking, dentist? Thailand? Are you crazy? Maybe I am. But I haven't avisited the dentist since pre-Korea and had this strong feeling I had a cavity or two. Also, Thailand is a bit of a destination for medical and dental work, so I wasn't too afraid of the quality of care and all the patients at this particular dentist were foreigners....so I am not the only one.
I had a few cavities it turns out. I was a bit shocked, but better to deal with them here. The dentist spoke great English and it was clean, sterile and cheap! The kicker was no novicaine. According to the dentist North Americans overuse this gem and it is uneccessary. So, I popped in my ipod and hoped that that La Roux could keep my mind off what was going on in my mouth. Only a few twinges later I was as good as new! I feel loads better now and pledge, as everyone does post dental pain, to floss daily and brush as much as possible!
Before the dentist I putzed around the hotel and used the internet. I had a little friend come and join me!

I DO think you're crazy for going to the dentist there but I'm so glad you got things fixed and that everything is taken care of! I too need to go to the dentist... :S It's too bad I'm not in Korea anymore. I loved my dentist there. He was the best I ever had.
