Hi i am an expat living/working in Saigon, Vietnam and doing some research on HT at the moment and looking for information on who would can sucessfully perform this/has the best reputation? Thinking that someone in Bangkok is the nearest, any recomendations on clinics there? Came across Bumrungrad Hospital web page, any feedback on them?
Thanks!

Why don't you check out Australia

Hey thanks eridette, haven't looked to much at Australia (even though i am from there orginally) just looking at Thailand at the moment as it is close and convenient for me but subject to being satisfied with the treatment there.

Hey Saigon, its great to see an Asian ex pat on here. I'm an ex ex pat who worked for about 10 years in Asia Pac. Loved it. Wish I was still in it. ...maybe I will be after my hair grows in.

Meantime, if you're a professional you should NOT be considering anyone but a coalition member here, or someone practicing at that level.

You cannot afford to get a second rate job, game over. I thought I heard something about an Aussie doc that was pretty good, but in any case, do it right, and you won't need to do it over.

cheers mate,

Well i have read here and seen reports on places like Bumrungrad Hospital etc in Bangkok. Yes i am looking for someone at a high level, not interested in bad results!

I wouldn't think that now is an especially good time to go to Thailand. I wouldn't be surprised to find someone top notch in Singapore, but I've no idea how to screen AP docs for Ultra Fine FUT.

I went to Dr Pathomvanich in Bkk. Money wasn't an issue for me, I wanted thebest in Asia. He is considered the best. He is the Dr they use at Bumrungrad but it is cheaper and better to go direct to his clinic. He has a (very outdated) website. He's popular, so you would need to book a few months in advance.
He uses the latest techniques for FUT including Tricho-closure.
I am 7 months p-o and am very happy.My HT and the donor scar is non-detectable, although the suturing marks at the donor area were noticeable with very short hair for a few months.
With a HT from any DR anywhere you will need a few weeks off work if you don't want to be noticed.

hello ! i see dr Pathomvanich in BKK, and friday 27 octobre i'm di my HT for 3000 grafts...But i'm not realy sure about this doctor, can you help me little !! ( Sorry for my English)

Hey thanks brianf, i am in touch with Dr Pathomvanich's clinic at the moment they seem to be the best option though hard to get into which can only be a good sign. You mention that you need a few weeks off after HT if you don't want to be noticed, how noticable is it after surgery? I will be lucky to get a few days off work let alone a few weeks, should a longer period of rest be had after a HT?

Dr Pathomvanich uses absorbable sutures for the donor area which will stay in for 3 weeks. If you have your hair short they will be noticeable. He advises to leave your hair longer at the back for this reason. At 7 months my donor scar is completely invisible due to the t-closure, I would challenge anyone to find it, but the sutures left my skin red for a few months and this redness was noticeable with short hair. Now this redness has completely gone. I'll dig out my digital camera and take some pics soon and add them to this thread. The recipient area will be noticeably scabby for about 4 days and still red for about a week. This will be the case with any doctor.
I think you need to rest for 3-4 days after the surgery. It will give your body a chance to heal. Eat a lot of protein, fish, red meat, eggs etc.
I am very happy with my outcome and would recommend this doctor and his very professional team.
