Bangkok

NOTE: NEPAL HAS SHITTY INTERNET SO I CANT UPLOAD PHOTOS ON HERE UNTIL CANADA. I WILL UPDATE WITH PHOTOS ONCE THERE


So i got into Bangkok at midnight, and since the public transport was closed and i didn't want to pay for a taxi and a bed for the night i stayed in the airport!. It was pretty fun actually, felt like that Tom Hanks movie. In the morning i got on the train and found my hostel which was awesome, it was made out of shipping containers!, in fact i had only booked for a few nights, which ballooned to over a week since without realising it was very close to the dentist i decided to go to.



I picked Bangkok Smile Dentist after emailing the guy from New Zealand that started the whole "medical Vacation to Thailand" thing . He suggested to stay away from Puket and stick with Bangkok since they are usually more qualified and in less of a rush, in fact Bangkok Smile Dental is the one he uses for his clients. Once i was settled in to my hostel i went straight to the dentist. I walked through the door with no appointment and within 1 hour i had an xray, filling and an appointment for the next day to get my first two wisdom teeth out!


The extraction went great the next day, hardly hurt, minor swelling and minimal pain after. It took maybe two days before i could open my mouth correctly, but that was mainly that they ripped the side of my mouth a bit. Only side effect was that i drooled ALOT in bed, felt  bit bad about that. Around the same time that i was feeling better a whole new group of guys came to the same hostel, we ended up teaming up and for the next days we went out a few times, went to markets, etc. Sadly they were all off to Chang Mai then Laos?Vietnam so i couldn't go since i had a few more teeth to come out.
The third and forth wisdom teeth were much sorer to get out, the drill vibrated right through my jaw and for some reason no matter how much local anaesthetic they gave me i could still feel my bottom tooth being ripped out in pieces, the lady said they were the hardest she had ever got out, so i have that going for me. This time the recovery was almost instant!, only two pain killers that night and i haven't needed any since, in fact the next day i was temple and sightseeing, followed by  a night out in town!. Anyone that needs dental needs to go to that dentist i had.
