I went to Bangkok Hospital Korat in March this year for dental work. I rang up and booked for a certain time. I walked into the reception area showed my hospital card from a previous visit for a medical reason and sent to the dental offices upstairs. Walked into dental clinic and onto dentist chair pronto. Two hours later and 5 fillings , exrays , teeth cleaned paid 3300 baht. Dentist was a peridontist (dental surgeon) spoke very good english.
I went last week to a dentist here in Australia for a filling , cost $250.00 aud. approx 7500 baht.
I would recommend the dental services at this hospital. :rolleyes:
That's a lot of fillings!  Have you considered investing in a toothbrush (and toothpaste)?

In Topic: Ubuntu 11.10 Is Released And Nobody Is Upgrading?

Did a fresh install on a new hd last friday, everything runs good not notice any problems. Unity was the first thing to throw out, donīt like it. Trying Gnome 3 but use XFCE as desktop enviroment.
How does one do this (ie. change from Unity to Gnome)?  Under 11.04, the "System settings" menu option is available under the Power-control menu, but I do not see such an option with 11.10.

I made the "mistake" of updating one of my laptops last night; typically I wait to upgrade at least a month or so (sometimes longer) after a new release is made available.  I do this for obvious reasons... let everyone else sort out the kinks.
Just install the shell and it will be available when you log in.
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Thanks; I did what you suggested.  I also gave a stab at installing gnome-session-fallback.  With either interface, gnome (shell) or gnome-classic, I am not at all satisfied with what Canonical has done with their distro.  It seems that they are more interested in setting up Ubuntu to be a "kiosk" style system, similar to Windoze.  I suspect that when Ubuntu 11.04 (and 10.04 LTS) has reached end-of-life, I will need to revert to Red Hat or Centos to work in a familiar environment that I have grown accustomed to.

P.S.  It could be that my system got a botched installation of 11.10.  I'm surprised that I am unable to locate any place to configure my font preferences, or add additional launchers to the gnome panel.  When I launch a terminal, the menu-bar is huge (12 font); there appears to be no way to make it smaller.

In Topic: Visa Turnaround Time In Vientiane, Phnom Penh, Kuala Lumpur And Ho Chi Minh City

2011-05-24 20:50:38

As Mario2008 pointed out, the visa can be obtained the "next working day" after the visa application is submitted.

I know that in Vientiane, visa applications should be submitted during the morning; the visa can then be collected the next afternoon.

If you are looking for a quick turnaround, do NOT submit your application on a Friday morning.  I stupidly did that once, and had to wait till Monday afternoon to get my passport (and visa) back.
