@David *******

ok cheers

@Andrew *******

I'm guessing your married to a Thai and therefore your brother-in-law is Thai.

Not sure they would do this treatment on foreigners.

@David *******

£120 for an implant !??

Or do you mean just for the facial MRI scan ?

@Tony *****

what was the name of the clinic ?

@David ********

Who did you go with and was it Istanbul or Antalya ?

I'm deciding whether to go Thailand or Turkey. Turkey slightly cheaper but I have used a couple of dentists in Thailand when I lived there and no problems.

just to add , when I was single and staying alone , I only washed a few small items by hand, occasionally, I mostly used the coin operated machines or occasionally the full laundry shop for my nicer clothes like dress shirts, trousers etc as they would be ironed as well.

I think I will be able to give good advice as I had several tattoos last year at wat bang phra. There are monks there using bamboo.

There are also professional tattoo artists upstairs that charge a set amount.

There is also a guy at the back ( sorry that's the best I can describe it ) that lives just behind the temple that accepts donations for the temple , entirely up to you how much you want to donate. The blessings and prayers are performed the same as the monks. I only found out afterwards that there are monks still doing sak yant. I left it up to my Thai partner to find out lol

The guy I used sits on his own , he is very good and uses bamboo.

I've had four different tattoos over stages ( different days ).

Maybe I will post the pics on here of my back at some point , can't do it right now.

Most Thais were using the man I used and there was a queue of around 1 + hour. I went lunchtime / early afternoon every time but be aware he stops around 4-5pm.

I lived and worked in Bangkok for a decade during the 90's,/early 2000s. . I had a lot of ladies/ gf's , to say the least.

They nearly all did their washing in the bathroom by hand. A lot of them cooked on the balcony.
