Professor of Dentistry, molar extraction. Cost ? £3.50 Taiwan

Last crown I had replaced cost 6k baht in Bkk, 8k now. Depends where you go prices vary a lot

A lot cheaper there than here Les... 👍👍

Looking good Les. You can really see the difference in your weight loss.😊

Cost of a zirconia crown in uk at private dentist is around £1000, it’s gone up it was about £700, 3 years ago, I know as I have 2 😂

Hello Les, thank you so much for your great videos. Here in France I had a crown done 8 years ago . 1000€

Getting an NHS dentist is the 1st obstacle, if you go private the sky's the limit aound £1K

Living the dream? you are joking of course.

In Wales UK, cleaning the teeth under NHS £60 and a crown about £300. So not much difference in price between UK and Thailand. I remember looking at the prices in a dentist in Thailand in the early 2000's and it was quite a bit cheaper than the UK, so it looks like prices have gone up in Thailand.

The cost of a crown including all dental work, anesthesia and dental technology in Holland is: €900, $950 or £750.

Good video. A good dentist can be hard to find. I am glad you found one. I look forward to the followup. I had a significant amount of dental work performed in the US. I saved 10's of thousands by having the work done at a dental school. The work was performed by a student, so it took much longer, though, it was supervised by faculty dentists. I am very happy with service and care at about 1/3 the cost.

Check up 5mins with dentist, then hygenist clean n polish=£100 uk boro, 6month ago. Next trip same again but I chipped tooth n had return to fill the gap, with tuff hard glue? £300, for check,hygenist clean n polish n fix chip...Middlesbrough

There is also an article in today's Guardian about an old expat still on 72 pounds a week, whose daughter created a petition for her mother to meet Keir Starmer to discuss this topic. The PM declined, but arranged for her to meet the minister in charge of the DWP..

Hi Les, what is the name of the dentist and where are they that you are with now please. I hate dentist too. I would appreciate this info. Thanks.

The maximum you would have to pay on the NHS is £319.10, that would include everything, so if needed you could have a filling, a tooth extraction, a bridge, and a crown, all in if you needed it, and if anything went wrong with the treatments within a 8 week period, it would be put right at no additional expense! Not bad value tbh. Now you're only trouble would be, would be too actually find a NHS dentist that is taking on NHS patients!

This is what I hate most in Thailand about healthcare and dentists as they are only thinking about money and attitude towards Farangs! I paid my dentist for checkup and hygienist £180 in the UK for one visit without gimmicks 😅.

Been today, my back tooth broke it’s beyond repair, extraction recommended in case it gets infected, is at the back so won’t be noticeable, 2000 baht.

Of course, in many parts of the UK, especially rural areas, it is really difficult to find an NHS dentist right now. Even a private practitioner might be quite difficult.

Hi Les. I also had a crown on the NHS at £319 but trying to get a NHS dentist is virtually impossible in the UK. My daughter had to go private for a check up £49, Xray £66 and they told her she needed 9 fillings at a cost of £1,200, Like you she hates going to the dentist. All the best Graham.

The bitchin and moaning of westerners is next level…..want third world prices but first world wages? Seriously ffs

Well done Les I'm just like you I had a sharp tooth that kept playing up I found a dentist last Xmas in the Philippines and it cost £2.50

Hi Les, talk about timing. Two days ago I went to the dentist to have a problem tooth looked at. The tooth has a large filling in it and is starting to show stress cracks around the edges of the tooth. So they recommend in order to save it from breaking up, I should have a crown put over it to preserve the tooth. As the tooth is towards the front of my mouth I want to keep it rather than have a gap. However after they explained how much it's going to cost I was thinking I might try and get it looked at in Thailand. I am an NHS patient and it will cost me...£900😮 Unbelievable 😡

I recently had 2 porcelain crowns replaced in the UK £2200. 🤦‍♂️ i have been in Hua Hin for the past month, should have had them done here!!

Had one of mine replaced under the level 3 nhs Les last year paid the £319 max also got a root filling done plus 3 other fillings and a descale and polish included so not too bad all in all ,, private wise I dread to think

Same same

I would very much like to know the name of your new dentist. We live in Ban phe and also have a house in Krabi where we are now. We are returning to Ban Phe next week. I may try and contact you.

I had a NHS 5 crown bridge, 1 year ago in the UK, cost £300. Private +/- £2500 - 3000 or more.

A new crown cost me 5,000 baht earlier this year. Done at a clinic, but by my usual dentist who is also a lecturer in a dental faculty near here, with lots of experience. I haven't been to a UK GP or dentist for about 40 years. I have a medical card still, but I am no longer eligible for a GP after 32 years out of the country. That would seem to pose no particular problem, but 7 years ago I needed a diagnosis unavailable in Thailand, but no UK GP was available who could refer to a specialist. Luckily, I was accepted straight away by a private clinic, that also do NHS referrals. It cost me a bit for a single appointment, but I got the assessment on the same day. Other clinics would have charged more, but this one is renowned for careful and quick work. Again, an older clinician with loads of experience! By the way, over the years I have had both my impacted wisdom teeth removed here by hospital dentists. Neither were easy, but I obviously fared better than my sister at Birmingham Dental Hospital with exactly the same problem.

I love Thailand but Australia has the best beaches…

I know a guy here in Thailand who 83 and left the UK a very long time ago. He gets £58 a week UK pension.

Looking at the transcripts it gives me the assuption that if I had defered my pension for a month or two then I would get the rise next year. I will call UK pension office next week to find out what can be done.

Very interesting, like the first vid. The explanation of the route from the panels to the fuses to the battery and so forth was just too fast for me, but I'll keep on learning and hopefully one day I can follow how you built the system, and why you placed the components here and not there, like that. Cheers!

If you search for reciprocal Pension Agreements the .GOV website DOES have all the information

Had nothing but problems getting that company to pay so I dropped it. Now I have a pink card which is getting me the Thai rates at the public hospital here which fortunately is a very good one. I have no use for the private hospitals here which are basically money grabs. In my town the same doctors work at both the private and public hospital.

You have described a uk nightmare in the uk! (not to mention the abuse that can be experienced by the carers) I'm from the Uk myself... Its a harsh country... Ive been in Australia for 20 years! Ive seen care home in Thailand on the news.. it looked amazing! I'm saving my pennies up for retiring in Thailand 🙂 Thanks for interesting videos

Hiya les/ guys. Thinking i need a bit of face2face on this , anyone local to pratumnak jomtien for a bar chat ?

The UK state pension is not a benefit.

They're going to close it down now. It's been ruined now. You can't live there on the I've heard that closing it down to camper vans and motorhomes. A lot of photos of posted. And now it's going to be closed. Rubbish fires everywhere.

The place is ruined now.

I'd run that odd panel in on the 2nd PV input on the inverter. Will come in handy on cloudy / rainy days.

always interesting content 👍👍

Excellent video ! Is it possible to still receive the uk pension when living in Thailand?

Hi Lez just wondering how the electronics deal with the humidity, I live near the coast in the Philippines and the salt etc fecks the electronics .

How much you planned to save $5.00😂😂😂😂

Hi Les, Last year I decided to install a 500W Solar Panel system in my wee abode here in Korat. I made a few mistakes during my DIY installation! I wired up the 2 x 250w solar panels in serial mode configuration as opposed to parallel mode - I was wrong to do this because it burnt-out the MPP Charge Controller which could only handle a 12v system. My second mistake was buying a normal inverter as opposed to a Pure Sine Wave Inverter, the normal inverter would make my cooling fans sound very noisy, so I've changed it for a Pure Sine Wave Inverter - no more cooling fan noise now. I found TH-cam to be helpful during my installation and I couldn't have done it without getting the basic installation guidance from there. I had my system on the go for over a year now, it powers my single cooling fan all day and gives me a few hours of power at night for my fan & light's. I was gonna attempt a bigger system, but I've decided against it. All the best to you & thanks for sharing your video

Nice job, Now imagine if that was in the UK first you would need a site survey , Planning permission, Permission from the leccy board and a Certified installer charging you about £5k and about 10 yrs ROI if your lucky in cloudy britian.

What is the total cost of your investment for a total power of 5 kw if I understood well .

Hi Les, I rent my house so no plans to install solar panels. I still find it very interesting to see how you've done it though. These things aren't all about saving money, as you said. What price would you give for a fan after 4 hours of no electricity 😉.

Hi I left Leeds 10yrs ago to live in Thailand now married with house and land. I called the pension office 3 days ago as that is 4 months before my 66th birthday in March. I will recieve a full pension but will miss out on future rises. I said that my birthday is just before the rise next year and was informed that that rate I recieve on my birthday will stay at that rate. I was informed from an ex military friend that if I went back to the UK for a period of time I would get the increase BUT when I left the country my pension would go back down to the same level from when it was first given to me.
