Veterinary Dentistry CE Abroad: Small-Group Dentistry CE in Krabi, Thailand
By The Vet Passport team · Updated November 5, 2026 · 4 min read
Short answer: Vet Passport's dentistry trip runs in Krabi, Thailand, in Fall 2027. You get 15 CE hours in dentistry and oral surgery across five mornings, in a group capped at 18, with afternoons for island-hopping, Thai cooking and a day at an ethical elephant sanctuary. It's 8 days and 7 nights, with lodging, meals and group experiences included. See the Krabi trip.
Why learn dentistry in a small group
Dentistry is one of the most practical skills you can bring back to the clinic, and it's easier to learn when you can actually ask questions. In a group of 18 or fewer, there's time to talk through your own cases, compare how different practices approach dental work, and keep the conversation going over lunch. Techs and practice managers on the CE Traveler ticket get the same access, which helps when the whole dental workflow is a team effort.
What a CE morning looks like
CE runs for about three hours on five mornings, led by a specialist in dentistry and oral surgery. Expect a mix of teaching and case discussion in a relaxed setting, with breaks and coffee. Session topics are confirmed with the speaker and shared before booking opens. You're done by lunch.
How the afternoons fit
- A sunset longtail boat to Railay and time at Phra Nang Cave Beach
- A full day island-hopping in the Andaman Sea, with snorkeling
- A day at an ethical elephant sanctuary, where you observe and feed rescued elephants. No riding, ever.
- A Thai cooking class and a traditional Thai massage
- Morning yoga, and a free afternoon for the Emerald Pool, a temple visit or the pool
