CAUTION - check prices!!! 50-75% cheaper??? You guys must have some expensive dentists in your countries. While I am in Pattaya I thought I would spend some free time getting work done on a tooth (crown) Supposedly it is much cheaper here. At home I have a very good dentist but was limited for time so put off getting that work done. I did get a cost estimate after the cleaning though. On recommendations from guys here I went to Dr. Aree at Pattaya International Hospital Soi 4 yesterday. Very nice office, nice lady and professional work, no issues there. When it came time to pay for the first of two visits it became obvious the total price was the SAME as back home BEFORE health insurance was factored in. I just paid about 80% more here than what I would have paid at home with insurance. My fault for not asking first. I would let her do emergency work for me anytime. Just a heads up for you guys.

I stayed at Eastiny Inn in January, there were no guest fees then or two years earlier. The room, pool, restaurant and location were all very acceptable. I had booked two weeks at the Pattaya Center Hotel but moved out after only three days so I do not have anything good to say about that place. Since I had stayed at the Eastiny two years earlier, I walked over there and got a room for two weeks starting January 3rd without any prior reservation. As noted above, the people are friendly and again the Eastiny proved to be a good hotel for me. Good luck with your trip. fots
