Simo1992 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi all. I am going to Dr Laorwong in Bangkok for a hair transplant in January. This is due to the many positive reviews he has received on this forum. Dr Laorwong states that payment must be on the day and in cash otherwise a 2% fee will be charged on a card transaction. I'm just wondering how other patients payed for the surgery as I feel a little uncomfortable carrying the equivalent of $9500 AUD in Thai Baht around. I'm also concerned that if i use some sort of card there could be issues on the day and I would like to avoid this. Many thank, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dazed Posted October 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2018 He should accept wire transfer, if not, find another doctor. It is ridiculous for any doctor to refuse a wire transfer. "Imagination frames events unknown in wild fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, and what it fears, creates."

Senior Member densedream Posted October 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Good choice. Had a transplant there 4 months ago. Can't speak to results yet but my experience was great and the work looked pristine. He is also involved in the entire surgery unlike many doctors these days. I took USD to pay for my procedure. Thailand is pretty safe if you are discreet and you could carry the money. Or why not send a wire transfer?

eobard Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Does he accept PayPal for full amount of the HT, or just the initial fee? He's in my top 3 list, and I actually have PayPal credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
