Got my top surgery yesterday - couldn't be happier! Since Mongolian surgeons have no experience in FTM chest surgeries, I had to go out of Mongolia, and here I am, in Thailand. If anyone is looking at the PAI for his top surgery, forget about them, for your own sake. I was initially in touch with them, and arranged everything with them, or so I thought. However, when I arrived at the airport in Bangkok, they never showed up although they said they would be picking me up, and then again they never showed up when I asked to be picked up from my hotel for the pre-surgery appointment. Although there is information on their website, they seem to simply set their surgery rates arbitrarily (and I really am not well-off anyway, and don't look like that). Plus they never responded to the essential questions I had from my side before I left for Thailand, i.e., the name of the surgeon, his/her specialisation, where I would be operated on, etc. No responses to my emails started about a week before my arrival in Bangkok. On the opposite side of the spectrum I found Dr Pichet: very thorough in communication, very specific information, responds immediately to all your queries online, etc. Since I had had everything arranged with the PAI, and because I didn't go through with them after my consutlation with them, one of the biggest reasons being that the PAI staff kept referrring to transmen as "she", coupled with aforementioned issues, I found myself in an extremely tight situation where I had only a small window of opportunity before I would need to leave Thailand. I searched frantically online, and contacted 3-4 other surgeons and hospitals, and the first response I got was from Dr Pichet, the second from the Yanhee hospital. So Dr Pichet is your guy!
