Regular Member blueboy08 Posted February 10, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi, I am thinking about having FUE with Viroj Vong in Bangkok. I did meet with him and he seemed ok but I was wondering if anyone had a transplant with him and what experiences/ results did you have. I have read about Dr Path also in Bangkok and was wondering if he would be the better option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted February 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 blueboy08, I'm sorry to say I have not heard of Dr. Vong. As you may know, Dr. Pathomvanich is a highly respected member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians and routinely produces stellar results.

Senior Member RodG Posted February 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi, I'm from Australia as well and I've done a lot of research on HT surgeons in Thailand. 1. DHT Clinic - Doctor Pathomvanich is the pre-eminent HT surgeon in Asia and no one in Australia is providing consistently good results like his clinic does. I had my HT surgery with them in 2010 and had a good result. 2. Thai Hair Clinic (chiang mai) - Doctor Pong has some customers providing good results on the forum but he isn't a recommended surgeon on the forum and hasn't been pre-screened. 3. Absolute Hair Clinic (phuket) - Dr.Kongkiat Laorwong has a small amount of traffic on the forum and appears to be getting good feedback but there isn't a lot of information about him. He was trained by Doctor Pathomvanich which is a good sign. Donor hair is precious and you only have about 6000 - 8000 grafts that can be used which means you need to be careful who does your surgery. I've never heard of the doctor that you mentioned which is a bit of a read flag to me. Pm if you wish I live in Perth. Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smithmeister Posted February 14, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 Guys, I had an HT with Dr Pong 11 days ago now. I have attached images of before and day 6 so you can see the level of skill this guy has. Obviously, it's early days but I'm very happy so far. Probably best I post some more pics around the 3 month mark. Overall, Dr Pong was very helpful in replying to my queries before I went and we had a chat for over an hour before surgery as I was quite nervous. Pricewise as well, you get a good deal - 2900 grafts which cost around 5000 dollars. You simply cannot get anywhere near that in the UK and US. Let me know your feedback on these photos... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smithmeister Posted February 14, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 I am sure Dr Path is also very good. Dr Pong worked under him before and there is a photo of them together in Dr Pong's clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RodG Posted February 14, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi Smithmeister, Why don't you create a separate post to this one so you can post you results and for forum members to use as a basis whether to have a HT with him? Best wishes Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smithmeister Posted February 14, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 hi Rod, good point i will do that soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blueboy08 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi thanks for your response, however the doctor I saw is Dr Vong in Bangkok. However that price is very good, did you go for FUE or the strip method? The pics look very good and are those pics of the transplant immediately after or a few days after? Cheers.
