Are you telling me that a Thai can go to a clinic and have a $500,000 panoramic x-ray taken of his jaw? How many of these clinics are there? How many doctors trained in doing a sinus lift that requires donated bone material to achieve? That requires three different medications before and afterwards top stave off infections?

Yup. Anything that the doctor orders. Specifically a connotation I
do not know but if the government hospitals have the device then yes.
free.

You don't seem to be following me John. The numbers and costs of spectacular medical instruments in the USA is staggering. And these will often be in a private doctor's office. These are not available in Thailand any more than they are in European villages or even in Great Britain outside of the major cities.

The weakness of socialized medicine is that it cannot afford the advancements.


That may have been true many years ago but is no longer true today.
(and all you had to do is look)

See:

Note: the first site quotes a price for panoramic x-rays, in English
aimed at foreigners, as US$1,000. The Thai price is traditionally
about 50%

I might add that Thailand seems to be quite well known for cosmetic
surgery. It is said that one can fly from America, stay in a posh
hotel, have the operation(s) and fly home cheaper then the surgery
costs alone in the U.S.

I have also read that Thailand is far and away the most experienced in
penis re-attachments. See:
