Whether you’re visiting for dental implants, porcelain veneers, crowns, Invisalign®, or a complete smile makeover, staying in the right neighbourhood can make travelling to appointments easier while allowing you to enjoy your time in Bangkok.
If you’re receiving treatment at Smile Express Dental Clinic’s Ari Branch, staying nearby offers the convenience of shorter travel times, easy access to public transportation, and a relaxed environment where you can recover comfortably between appointments.
This guide explores the best areas to stay during your dental journey and explains which neighbourhoods may be the best fit based on your treatment plan and travel preferences.
Stay in Ari: The Most Convenient Choice for Dental Tourists
If you’re travelling to Bangkok for treatment at Smile Express Dental Clinic’s Ari Branch,, staying in Ari is the most convenient option.
Ari has become one of Bangkok’s most popular neighbourhoods thanks to its relaxed atmosphere, tree-lined streets, stylish cafés, boutique hotels, and excellent public transportation. Unlike Bangkok’s busier commercial districts, Ari offers a quieter environment that many international patients appreciate while recovering from dental treatment.
The clinic is conveniently located just a short distance from BTS Ari Station, allowing patients to travel quickly between their accommodation and dental appointments without spending unnecessary time in traffic.
Another advantage of staying in Ari is the neighbourhood itself. Visitors will find a wide range of cafés, international restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, and convenience stores, making it easy to find soft meals or daily essentials during recovery.
For patients who feel comfortable enough to enjoy light sightseeing, Ari’s welcoming atmosphere and walkable streets provide a pleasant way to experience Bangkok without the crowds often found in other tourist areas.

Transportation Tips for Dental Tourists
One of Bangkok’s greatest advantages is its efficient public transportation system.
Recommended transportation options include:
BTS Skytrain
The BTS is the fastest and most reliable way to travel between Ari and areas such as Siam, Victory Monument, Phaya Thai, and Sukhumvit.
Airport Rail Link
International patients arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport can take the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai Station, then transfer to the BTS Skytrain for a short journey to Ari.
This is one of the quickest and most convenient routes into central Bangkok.
Grab and Taxi
Ride-hailing services such as Grab are widely available throughout Bangkok and are particularly useful after dental procedures when you may prefer a direct journey back to your hotel.
Patients recovering from dental implants or oral surgery often find Grab or a taxi to be the most comfortable option.
What to Eat During Recovery
After dental treatment, your dentist may recommend eating soft foods for several days to promote healing and minimise discomfort.
Fortunately, Bangkok offers plenty of delicious recovery-friendly meals.
Some popular options include:
- Rice porridge (Jok)
- Soft noodle soup
- Steamed rice with soft dishes
- Scrambled eggs
- Yogurt
- Smoothies
- Fresh fruit juice
- Mashed potatoes
- Tofu dishes
- Soft desserts
Many cafés and restaurants around Ari also serve healthy breakfast options, soups, smoothies, and light meals, making it easy to follow your post-treatment dietary instructions.
How Long Should You Stay in Bangkok?
The ideal length of your visit depends on the type of dental treatment you receive.
| Treatment | Recommended Stay |
|---|---|
| Teeth Whitening | 2–3 Days |
| Dental Fillings | 2–3 Days |
| Porcelain Veneers | 5–7 Days |
| Dental Crowns | 7–10 Days |
| Dental Implants | 7–10 Days (or longer depending on your case) |
| Full Mouth Rehabilitation | 10–14 Days or more |
Some implant procedures require a second visit after several months to allow the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is placed.
Your dentist will provide a personalised treatment timeline based on your individual needs.
