I just wanted to write a letter to you to commend you and your wonderful staff on your successful job operating on me in Thailand:

From the moment I arrived on my flight into Bangkok, I was welcomed at the airport by a friendly man named Hai and taken to Dr Pichet's office. I hopped in a luxurious mini-bus and sped away through the notorious Bangkok traffic.

Upon arriving I was greeted by all his lovely staff and I was very nervous and scared as I was travelling alone and Dr Pichets staff members were very helpful, serving tea and chatting away making me feel welcome. I underwent a checkup and was explained in detail about the procedure. Hotel check in wasn't until 1pm so while I waited in the office, Mrs. Mao asked me if I would like some noodles and soup, which they had delivered from McDonalds!! Only in Thailand!

Then I had to sign what seemed like 100 forms, and this experience was very daunting to me as I had never been overseas I began to miss family back home. Like a big old sissy, I started to get upset but Mrs Mao comforted me and let me use her own personal mobile to call home and Mrs Mouth helped me to arrange a sim-card and pre-paid credit for my phone to make calls during my stay.

During the consult I was given a few different sized implants to try on with my clothes on to see what shape my new breasts would look like. To help future patients undergoing a breast augmentation/lift I would recommend to bring an underwire-free bra or two from home in the size that you want to be, and use that as a guide to help you determine your needs.

Dr Pichets staff took me in a luxury car to the Hotel and organised a discounted rate for me. Upon check-in at the hotel I was astounded at how friendly and genuinely helpful the staff were to me, everything from guides to the city, to help with internet access and faxes, to shopping and nightlife tips! Also, a tip for travellers packing light, the humidity in Thailand is great for doing your washing- you can wash clothes in the ample bathroom basin, hang them on the balcony outside and within an hour or two, they're bone dry!

I woke up to a complimentary all-you-can-eat buffet of Asian and Western foods such as noodles, soups and kimji salad alongside pancakes and eggs. As I ate my weight in luscious delights, I watched CNN from the big screen TVs and felt like a millionaire. After a half-an-hour shower, I packed up my gear and headed downstairs for my pickup for surgery day.

I met a lovely lady in the foyer who was also a Dr Pichet patient and spoke with her about her stay in Thailand. She looked so youthful and radiant and yet told me she was a grandma and I couldn't believe how flawless her complexion appeared! Dr Pichet truly is an artist.

At the hospital, after a series of blood tests, x-rays and formalities, I was shown to my luxurious private room with incredible US cable tv, in-room toilet, my bed plus a single bed for accomodating another family member (another support bonus if you
require it) and my own private balcony looking out over busy Bangkok.

I remember being wheeled down to the operating room, a drip put in my arm and Dr Pichet telling me that everything looked fine on the tests and we were about to begin and the next thing I remember was being lifted on a sheet onto my hospital bed after the op and falling asleep. I woke up to find a friendly nurse checking my vitals and chatting to me in perfect English, asking me if I would like something to eat. I decided I would like some rice and water but after eating one mouthful, I was almost immediately nauseated and sick as the anaesthetic had not worn off. A tip for future patients would be to wait and sleep the anaesthetic off and just sip water if you feel you need it.

Over the next two days I was regularly checked up on by nurses, called by Mrs Mao and given medication regularly to assist in my recovery. The large TV in my room allowed me to watch just about every latest movie or American TV show I wanted, so the recovery time passed easily. The private in-room toilet was great, although the first few times I needed help plodding along the mere 5 steps it took to get there. Also I had the best tom yum soup I've ever tasted and I ordered a club sandwich when I got my appetite back. Every meal was delicious and was accompanied by a delightful broth soup and orange juice, tea or coffee. The treatment at the hospital was first class and outstanding compared to private health cover at home.

Every treatment is different but after my augment/lift I found that I only ever felt severe pain was a few times I tried to move too suddenly or lift something heavy, and this pain was only very brief. The whole experience would rate as uncomfortable, as I found I couldn't handle showering and my hair looked like Albert Einsteins, but you could order to have your hair cut or washed which makes you feel normal.

The day after leaving the hospital I was able to go on a day trip out of Bangkok with other Dr Pichet's patients, which was fantastic, as you are accompanied by people in the same situation as you and it adds normality to your stay. After visiting some lovely temples, we returned to Bangkok to shop till we dropped! This was definitely a highlight!

After regular visits to Dr Pichets office, I was checked up, bandaged and taken care of with the utmost sense of thoroughness and answered any questions I asked. Well after my operation, I experienced a minor infection in my incision however this was easily treated with a course of antibiotics and topical ointment. A few months have passed and under-the-muscle the implants are sitting a bit high but that will subside in time.

Thankyou very much to Dr Pichet and all of his wonderful staff for making my operation a first-class experience and I would recommend his outstanding services to anyone!

Dear Dr pichet,

     I could not email to you as i was so busy since i back home from Bangkok. Well it had been nearly 3 months i undergone SRS with scrotal skin graft at your medical services. After 3.5 hrs in OT and took 6 days admission at General Hospital in bangkok, I am now here having a female sex that i had always dreaming in life. The hospital is of international standard and nurses were very efficient. I would like to give my special thank to you for my perfect result and also would like to thank all of your staffs who were taking care of me as their sister. I do miss each of them and sorry for cannot spell their names correctly to mention although i can pronounce. I will never forget their kindness for the rest of my life. I can still remember the moments i was in your clinic where i did dilation everyday and took a rest at! my private room you provided for me. In the long period i stayed in bangkok for about 2 months, i was given a hand phone for my convenience and arranged transportation everyday to and from my apartment to clinic at Doctor's cost. Moreover his staff prepared breakfast and lunch everyday for me. They supplied all the medical stuffs i needed to use such as cotton sticks, dressing pads, blue pads, sanitary pads, saline water, alcohol, betadine and a kid of dilators sized 1- 6. Oh doctor, you are more than a good doctor who is always ready to help each of patient's individual needs either. You are the best surgeon in Thailand i swear. I have never seen such a special care that you and your staffs treated me as a queen. Presently I did not get any complication or infection following the surgery. i will have more depth after 6 months! of dilation because of tissue maturation. I feels no pain in each dilation session and felt no severe pain at the wound area immediate after the surgery. The appearance of the vagina is almost natural as if i was born with it. I am very pleased with the result you gave to me and it can be said to be that i was fortunate to choose you as my SRS doctor. I feels sensate at my clitoris and am happy in my new life but had not been in sex with my neovagina_still a real virgin. I am simply taking care of my health and doing dilation 2 hrs a day. I wish you to have all the best and success throughout your life as you gave me your best and let me success to live as a woman in my life.

from the sweet memory,
Phyo

     We just wanted to say hello and let you know that we have now been home for 10 days, and our recovery/healing is going very well! We want to say THANK-YOU very much for yours and your staff's hospitality and excellent care while we were there. We are pleased with the results from the surgery, and would recommend you to anyone who would also like tummy tucks, breast lifts, or ANY type of cosmetic surgery.

     We would especially like to send a VERY SPECIAL THANK-YOU to Ying and Mao, for taking care of our needs while in the hospital, and in the hotel. The food that was delivered to us nightly was absolutely delicious!! We also would like to thank Ahai for transporting us all over Bangkok's hot spots. :-)
We wish you and your staff continued Success, and we can't wait to visit your beautiful country again. Thank-You!

Sincerely,
Priscilla, Jeannie & Linda

      After extensive research via the Internet and other sources of information I selected Dr Pichet of Bangkok to do my surgery. I had read all the testimonials on his web site and after contacting him in person he sent photographs of his work. I was truly taken aback at how convincing the vagina's looked and was even more excited when finding out that they all functioned equally as well. I also selected him to do my breast implants, I'm afraid the ones I had grown on hormones were not suffice.
Dr Pichet recommended a hotel to us (Pat, my wife and I) and also arranged our transport to and from the airport (all free of charge). He also booked the hotel and everything was set.

      We arrived in Bangkok on 27th October 2003. We were picked up by Dr Pichet's chauffer and taken straight to his clinic.Greeted at the door by Mao one of his assistant's we were led upstairs and sat in a cosy lounge type room and offered drinks. Several other members of staff were walking about and all greeted us as if we were long time friends.

      The next half hour consisted of reading and signing declarations and consent forms. Harry Benjamin is to blame for the 3 rain forests lost in paperwork. I had already faxed and emailed all of my paperwork so a quick signature was all that was needed.
Next in walked the man himself casually dressed in jeans and T-shirt. He said I looked better in person than on my photographs. I had warmed to this man already.
Before we discussed the final parts of surgery he asked to see what was already there. I had opted for a colon cut vaginaplasty. He looked and said he could save me $1000 and get me 5 and a half to 6 inches depth with what I had already, no colon cut necessary. We both decided this was more than enough.

      We then went back into the other room where Mao had been entertaining Pat. Her English was very good. The Doctors English was excellent.
We then discussed what size my boobs were going to be. The fixed price I had paid covered up to 350cc implants. After handling the 350cc size both Pat and I new they were not big enough for my frame. We eventually decided on 705cc implants. The Doctor had shown us pictures of 705cc and when I held the implants to my chest they looked in proportion to my frame so 705cc it was.
He then said we were going to be taken to the hospital and that Pat would be staying there, not at the Gold Orchid Hotel as originally planned. We have put a bed alongside yours in the room and it will save you more money that way. He had cancelled the hotel for the first week.
This worked out very well for us as the $1000 I had saved on the colon cut had now been spent on the boobs. This meant no bill and no transport worries for Pat whenever she wanted to visit me in hospital.
On arrival at the hospital I was checked for everything. Yes everything. I didn't realise I was as fit as they said I was. After being taken to our room I was given 6 litre bottles of water to drink with an obnoxious liquid. This was to clear me out. Two hours later there was another 6 litres of water and more of the obnoxious liquid. Well it certainly cleared me out. I finally had time to sit back and take stock of the events. The room was fitted out with an en-suite bathroom, fridge and Sky TV. This would do us perfectly.

      Tuesday 28th October at 9.30am I was wheeled down to the theatre. It seemed like there were 30 people in my entourage Pat included. At the theatre doors they all waved to me and shouted good luck Jane and Pat sneaked through and gave me a kiss. That was a lovely kiss to think of while I was going under the anaesthetic.

      6.30pm and I woke in my hospital room with Pat alongside holding my hand and what seemed like the same 30 people there all doing there own jobs and checking up on me. In fact they never left me alone, if it wasn't injections for pain or antibiotics, it was blood pressure and temperature and if that didn't wake you up they would come in with trays of food and clean the room.
Saturday 1st November 5 days after my surgery, the Doctor waltzed in and said I was going to my hotel, as I was a most excellent patient. After a shampoo by the hospital hairdresser and a Thai foot massage by a gorgeous looking young lad (both provided as a present from the Doctor) we went to the hotel. Again transported by the Doctor's own chauffer.

The Gold Orchid Hotel Bangkok

      The hotel was just amazing. We both rated it as 4star. The cost? ?15 for a double room for the night and breakfast. The drinks at the bar were also cheap ?1.80 for a two-litre jug of Carlsberg and a second two-litre jug free. Pampered does not describe it fully. It was marvellous.
Visited twice a day by the Doctor and his clinic staff I had my packing removed on the Tuesday. On the Friday it was decided I was fit enough to travel to the Doctors clinic for treatment. Once again driven by his chauffer, after treatment he would either take you back to the hotel or shopping in the Plaza.

      The Saturday night brought another present from Dr Pichet. He had hired a bus and all his staff and patients were first taken to a riverside restaurant for a beautiful meal and then on to the Grand Temple.

      The event being celebrated was Loy Krathong which translated means launch float. This is the festival when a small boat type object is made from a base of banana leaves and adorned with flowers. A candle and also incense sticks are also added. You then take your Krathong to a body of water (pond, river or even hotel swimming pool) light the candle and sticks, say a prayer and then float your Krathong on the surface. The people of Thailand also wear their national dress as we witnessed at the hotel. After the temple we were taken to the river and were each handed a Krathong. We launched them amongst the thousands already there. The river was lit up as far as the eye could see. A very beautiful sight to be remembered.

      Other excursions included the Grand Palace, Teakwood Mansion and our favourite Jim Thompson's House. He was responsible for putting Thai silk on the world market. His house is kept open to the public and is absolutely stunning. He made his big brake when the filmmakers of The King and I selected him to make all of the costumes.

      Being treated twice a day at the clinic continued. Two weeks after surgery it was time to start dilating. This caused some concern; it was so painful that the Doctor had me back in hospital. The problem? 25 years of smoking. There were pieces of dead skin causing the pain. The Doctor could not remove them in his clinic as it was too painful and he decided it would be better if I were sedated. After scraping away the dead skin all is fine. Don't you ever worry about cost Jane, no matter how many times it takes? I will make you right.

      The rest of my treatment went well and my final result is remarkable, not only does it look good, it feels good. Yes I do orgasm.

      My final day proved very emotional for all. I had been there for 28 days and all of the clinic staff new both Pat and I personally by now. I remember crying on the shoulder of the Doctor's wife when saying goodbye and then having another go hen giving all the other staff a hug goodbye.
Finally when shaking the Doctors hand he took my hand in both of his and said that he expects my own GP to be slightly scared of any treatment as he doesn't deal with SRS on a daily basis. If I had any future problems whilst it was still healing, just contact him and make my way there and he would sort out the rest.

      When initially speaking to him via email, he said if I went to him for surgery, he would treat me as a friend. Well he didn't, he treated us as family and I will always remember him for that. Truly a great man with a big heart.

      My confidence has improved greatly since my surgery and acceptance by others has also improved. Pat thinks it may have something to do with my features getting softer. I partly agree with her. Personally I think it's because of the successful surgery that gives me that extra little spring in my step and I can only thank Dr Pichet for that and of course Pat for making it all possible in the first place.

Thailand, a beautiful place, full of beautiful people. There will always be a part of me there.

Hi Dr Pichet,
Thanks again below ;
I came to Dr Pichet to take out my 410cc silicone unders and replace them with 800cc sil unders and am so happy with the results.

I had my first breast augmentation in Bangkok last year at one of most famous advertisement hospital but after disagreeing with my old surgeon about size I found Dr Pichet and his clinic - What a shame I hadn't found Dr Pichet sooner!
The care and overall experience I had with Dr Pichet far exceeds any other surgeon I have ever been to.

I was concerned that I would not be able to go as big as I would like and worried I would fly all the way there and be knocked back. After I explained my concerns to Dr Pichet via email. He was happy to eliminate that possibility by taking my measurements and making sure I wouldn't waste my time and money. He always got back to my emails quickly.
After reading these testimonials and the correspondance we had had through email I knew he was the surgeon for me.

The surgery was booked and I was on the plane to Bangkok where Dr Pichet had sent a driver  to pick me and my partner up from the airport at no extra cost.
His lovely wife phoned the driver to speak to me as soon as i landed and assured me about my surgery the next morning and that the driver would pick me up at our hotel to take me to the clinic for my surgery where Dr pichets lovely wife Mrs Mao was waiting to greet me. She put me at ease almost instantly as like everyone else I had the normal pre surgery nerves.

Mrs Mao rang me everyday after I was discharged just to see if I was ok!
I also ran out of medication the day before I left to go back home to Australia so Mrs Mao had the clinics driver drop some more off to my hotel! These are extra touches you couldn't get anywhere else - they come from very caring people.

Dr Pichet is wonderful happy person and brilliantly talented surgeon. As soon as I met him there was a connection and he was funny, calming, to the point and very caring.

Overall I couldn't reccommend any place or surgeon any more than I could reccomend Dr Pichet and his clinic. Next time I am in Thailand I will visit.

I just want to thank Dr Pichet, Mrs Mao and all their wonderful staff for an unforgettable and lovely experience.
