BANGKOK will be a pleasant city to visit in November.
The Thai capital will be cooler and not so humid, ideal to see its street life and cultural landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Buddhist temples, including the Wat Arun and Wat Pho, all iconic sites.
Bangkok will also be the venue for the 6th Bangkok International Symposium of Implant Dentistry (BIS2022) on November 27.
It will be attended by the world’s leading authorities on implant dentistry.
The theme of this year’s symposium, sponsored by the Thai Association of Dental Implantology (TADI), is “Changes and Challenges in Implant Dentistry”.
BIS2022 opens with a one-day Pre-Congress Course on November 27. The BIS2022 symposium proper will be on November 28-30.

The Pre-Congress Course A will be on “Guided Bone Regeneration With Non-Resorbable Membranes in the Relief of Vertical Bone Defects.”
