In Topic: Laser Dentistry In Bangkok

It does exist I read about it about 16 years ago, I was told by a dental student that there was one clinic here in Bangkok but forgot where it was. Basically if you have laser treatment it is better for your tooth as only the decay is destroyed and in some cases you don't need an anaesthetic. You can read about if from the following link, had I not read that article in the Times all those years ago I would be ignorant of it. In the end treatment by laser mean longer lasting teeth, as you don't have to destroy the good part of the tooth to get at the bad part, also the laser is more effective at killing bacteria:

To be honest the 100 Baht notes are a greater threat unless you are a business man selling things. All the thousands I get are from the Cash Point (which one hopes are meticulously scanned) the 100's that are given in change are the ones to look out for.

Simple curiosity. How this guys can stay in Thailand ? I mean what kind of visa do they most have? How can they enter the country and do what they do here?

I've visited Sukumvit soi 3 and 5 looking for a lebanese restaurant last week and had the impression being in a bad area of Bronx....


It's simply a question of paying a few thousand baht (rarely over 5,000) in their home country in Africa to an "agent" who can then secure a Thai visa, even a one-year education visa, for any of these West African guys. A lot of them have actually been here for 3 years on an ED visa which they have extended twice. Remember that Nigeria is the spiritual home of the 419 scam. If you think these guys can't get hold of a "legitimate" long-term visa for Thailand, you're clearly underestimating their intelligence and cunning. That said, as long as you don't mess with them, or be stupid enough to actually buy what they're selling, they will never give you a problem.


What you say about the 'agent' may well have a basis in fact, but let us not forget that here are some genuine Nigerian students here in Thailand, I have personally taught the children of the Nigerian ambassador at AU and know of quite few African students. Most of these students are weary of their fellow country men that give them a bad name.
