Some income isn't double taxes. There is a threshold above that, you fall into the highest USA tax bracket.

I'm in the process. Extraction plus graft, 6 stitches. Wait 4 months, then implant screw. Wait 4 months then crown. Bangkok hospital Pattaya dental clinic. Implant and crown ranges 48k to 75k baht. Extraction and graft and CT scan cost 21k baht.

Important to decide which brand you want and how prevalent this brand is in other countries (if you live or move elsewhere). Some extractions require grafts, some might need a sinus lift. Are the bones viable? Do you need a second graft?

I can recommend German Dental for fillings which I did today (replacing a bad filling done in Hua Hin earlier this year).

German dental did a full panorama xray to check all my teeth at no extra charge, after my cleaning yesterday. They will give you a comprehensive price estimate for implants and bridges too. Free of charge!

Whereas I was charged 1400b for a dentist to look at my teeth at Bangkok Hospital and give me a quotation.

@James *******

I had a filling done in Jan at Nana. Today needed it done again in Pattaya. I must say that is quite disappointing. I expected better results.

@Sam ****

I guess, I've been lucky, but I often try to book without the cash back option.

we've been traveling around Thailand for 2 years using primarily Agoda and sometimes trips.com which has a much more transparent bonus system. Agoda's VIP status is a joke. And the click to "claim a 10% discount in the next hour" popup always makes the price higher! Agoda certsinly gets the award for weird stuff, but their prices are still usually the best.

So we have made about 500 hotel bookings in 2 years. I always check the walk-in rate (when we arruve) to compare. Only 2 or 3 times was it cheaper...and like 10 baht. Generally we pay 20-30% less than the walk-in rate. (A few times, we decided to stay a month, then the rates dropped to half.)

I don't understand how these booking apps get such low prices?🤔

@Brandon ***********

yes, that's true. Recently they added a new requirement. You are charged a fee if your cashback is under $10usd. But you can select it to go into your bank account for no additional fee, if under $10.

@Brandon ***********

I use their app. I have set my preference to include ALL taxes.

I tried this 17 months and the Thai embassy in Wash DC wouldn't give me it to me. My husband was already in Thailand and had his retirement extension, O visa (which I submitted). They said they only would issue the 90 day O visa to me if my husband had a employment Visa NOT a retirement Visa.

@Andrew ******

OA visa is only for 50+ retirees.

It's posted outside where you wait in Q. And that's why they have rental clothes at the stalls across the road. And refreshments for sale if it's really hot. The wait can be long if you're unlucky.
