I am currently going through a dental process in Chiang Mai. I chose a higher-end dentist because I don't want problems if I leave the area in a year. However, I am surprised by the cost considering I am in Thailand. It is still about 30% less than in the USA, but I expected at least 50% They are German Zirconia dental crowns, which raises the price.

A message for coders Only!! "I was not in my home country when I applied" "I am US citizen and I used the Thai Embassy from my home country" what does that mean; dual citizen or while flying between USA and Thailand? "a little creative with the paperwork"?

Maybe I misunderstood: "IF you don't have the required funds to deposit then go the agent route." I'm not familiar with that route?

What does this mean" "IF you don't have the required funds to deposit then go the agent route." I might have interpreted it wrongly?

Out of interest, how long are you coming for and what for?

I am hoping that is true; I have other stuff that can be levied

are you sure? Taxation of Social Security Payments: According to the US-Thailand tax treaty, social security payments received by a US citizen from the US government are only taxable in the US. However, if the tax rate on these payments is zero in the US (which it often is), you won't have a tax credit to use in Thailand. Therefore, Thailand could tax this income if you are a tax resident ?

See if you can figure it out; I would prefer not to republish the suggestion

You "should not" say/publish or encourage this. Permanent deportation from the country can result. "It's called breaking the law!" and aiding in such
