The cost of teeth cleaning (scaling) in Thailand typically ranges from $100 / ฿3,400 to $100 / ฿3,400. Prices vary depending on the dental clinic, the dentist’s experience, and whether you need a basic or deep cleaning. In the United States, the average cost is $200 / ฿6,800 (per ADA). Teeth cleaning in Thailand is about 50% less than in the U.S.
Thai dental clinics usually include the initial consultation, dental exam, scaling and polishing, use of sterilized instruments, post-procedure care instructions, and a follow-up if needed. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the cleaning itself, with exams and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.
As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.
For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
