Senior Member TomA Posted July 19, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2007 Josh--glad to help. I don't think you have much to worry about. Obviously I can't speak to results yet, but as far as the procedure, they exceeded my expectations. He's just a great guy, and his assistant doctor is an amazing woman. You can tell they really care about you. I checked today and it looks like I got almost 33.3 bhat for US$1 from Siam Commercial Bank--that means only $2.10/graft. I got lucky because the Bhat was way up last week--like 30.5 to $1.00. Keep an eye on those exchange rates and if you see the Bhat go down, WIRE IN YOUR PAYMENT. He will refund anything you don't use. If you need advice on hotels or what to do in BKK, let me know. If you've got time, you should also visit Chiangmai, I know a great hotel and travel agent there. Lots of great trekking (on elephants), fun trips (see the long neck hill tribes, visit the Golden Triangle), great food (I did a Thai cooking school), very inexpensive. $26/night for a 4.5 star place--brand new. Do it before your transplant, though. Do you know where you plan to go for the LASIK yet? -- 1st HT with Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich, Bangkok, Thailand - 18 JUL 07 - 3300 grafts (FUT) - US$6,930 2st HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 31 JUL 10 - 2249 grafts (FUT) - US$2,200 3rd HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 26 JUL 11 - 320 grafts (FUE) touch up - US$0 My Hair Loss Weblog My opinions are my own.

Guest josh - b Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi tom, Thanks for the exchange rate advice. I've actually been to Thailand a few times before and have a couple of friends living in Bangkok. As for the lasik, i was planning to shop around when i got there (post ht) but if u can advise me i would appreciate it. I'm basically looking to restore my hairline. My crown and top is okay so i'm glad to hear that dr path can do large sessions (3000+). One pass, combined with meds should hopefully see me ok. Anyway, i'll be very interested to see your results and looking at your pics i think they're going to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TomA Posted July 21, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2007 I had a good experience at LaserVision. www.laservision.co.th I think there are a several other good places in Thailand. This one was not far from the Doc's office (15-20 minutes by taxi depending on traffic) so it was convenient when I had two appointments on the same day. -- 1st HT with Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich, Bangkok, Thailand - 18 JUL 07 - 3300 grafts (FUT) - US$6,930 2st HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 31 JUL 10 - 2249 grafts (FUT) - US$2,200 3rd HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 26 JUL 11 - 320 grafts (FUE) touch up - US$0 My Hair Loss Weblog My opinions are my own.

Guest Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Glad to hear you had a positive experience. Bangkok is just a short flight away for me. BTW, I checked with the medical store. Finasteride 1mg 30 tabs is just $3 or 4/- here in Delhi. Hope that helps. Originally posted by TomA:Had a great experience with Dr. Path's office yesterday.
