Hello all, from a warm...34 degree Pattaya. I arrived here at noon today, after a two hour drive from Bangkok with some Thai friends. Since this a high tourist destination this week, the highway was very busy. We found out upon arrival that Friday and Saturday will feature an International Fireworks Competition.
On Monday , I had my appointment with My Dental Team at Bangkok Smile. One full hour cost me 68 dollars Canadian. As I have said before; when one sits in that chair, you get the full attention of the dentist and an assistant. They do not have five or six chairs going at the same time. The charges here are so much less than in Canada. What makes me a bit annoyed is the fact that the dental association in Canada and many of the Insurance Companies there have become buddy-buddy and now, the insurance companies will not pay a claim from outside of Canada unless the dental work was the result of an accident. One would think that it would be more economical to pay the cheaper claim.
I and my Thai friends will be here until the 10 day of December. We will return to a hotel near the Bangkok airport on that day, and I will return home via Vancouver with Air Canada, then on to Toronto and then Ottawa. The flight to Vancouver will be around 15 hours. I did not mention the route here to Bangkok from Vancouver on 20th of this month. From Vancouver we flew up over Palmerston Alaska, down over the Aleutian Islands to Tokyo, Hong Kong and on to Bangkok entering Asia midway between Hue and Da Nang Vietnam. A total of around 8500 Nautical miles, according to the Air Canada route map that I followed. I will do an update in about another week. Take Care
