How to Save Money on Thai Dental Holidays

The math makes sense, you will save thousands of dollars by traveling to Thailand to get your high cost procedure done for pennies on the dollar. The procedure will cost nearly $6,000 back home. However, you have found a highly recommended clinic that will do it for under $1,000. Life is good, but you still are on a budget and want some tips to save even more money.

I’ve lived in Thailand for two years and traveled throughout the whole country. So wherever you go, I know from experience these tips will save you money.

Airline Tickets:
Depending where you are traveling from, I stay away from local travel agencies and go online to buy my ticket. I use EVA Air, Travelocity and Orbitz. When you find a flight you like, cross reference it with the actual airline’s website to save a little more money.

Hotels:
Many use websites like Hotels.com and Agoda.com. However these websites only save money to inexperienced travelers. Look at some blogs and post questions asking for recommendations on places to stay within your budget. Thaivisa.com is a good place to start.

Taxi:
Stick with the normal taxi. If you are not Thai, and don’t speak the language, they will try to overcharge by charging per trip. Some may even break out a map and try to show you how far it is. If they try this, walk down the street and find a taxi that will use a taxi meter. This is what the local Thai people use. In Bangkok taxi meters have a surcharge of 35 baht, this is standard for everyone.

Food:
Thai food taste great and is inexpensive. Try the little outdoor restaurants located on the street. You will find this everywhere and you will have more than a few to choose from within walking distance from your hotel.

Shopping:
Shopping is great in Thailand. You can find whatever you want at a very good price. However, outside of the major malls and chain stores, Thailand still negotiates. If you are at a tourist area like MBK (a major mall) or Khao San Road, Tadacip the rule of thumb is half. For example if they want to charge you 500 baht for a t-shirt, a fair price will be about 250 baht.

Follow these proven tips and you will save even more money on your Thai Dental Holiday.
