Ok girls. my SRS booked for the entire June in the hotel with cottages. Anyone with me? 

[Monkeymel]

Im hopefully booked for the last week of July (28th) - however I'm just waiting for the final confirmation as the wire transfer for the deposit appears to have lost all the transaction details. 

[Monkeymel]

Final confirmation came through over easter so I just have to book my flights. Is it really necessary to take extended Visa or is the normal 30 day one sufficient (fly in 24.07, operation 28.07, have to fly out 21.08 or 22.08). From everything i have read this seems to be acceptable; any hints would be helpful.

Good luck to those out there currently and recover well for those now at home.

Hi guys! Have been lurking around this forum (especially this thread) for some time.

Quick intro: 22 mtf, asian

I'm booked (well tentatively) for December this year with Dr Chettawut! Not sure if i will freak out the day before

I just wired the deposit to secure my reservation too. Anyone booked for December? Will be/intend to stay at the Rama cottages.

OMG I will be there in 2 weeks and I will be alone

@Evolving beauty

You will not be alone, just attend breakfast at different hours and turn on Your trans radar Fingers crossed for Your surgery

I'll be back there somewhere between 2'nd and 22'nd of November

[blackponyx]

Anyone at Dr Chettawut's now?

I haven't heard from them via email for a while now, despite a few email '->-bleeped-<-s'.

As much as I am convinced to go with him as my surgeon, this is quite a turn off.

Considering they had time revamping their website and uploading new Youtube videos.

P/s: I have wired money to secure my surgery date. If this is the kind of service I'm getting even before we meet, I'm really not sure what to expect. Hopefully it's a technical problem but i really doubt so. :/

Ms Som appears to work part time. So sometimes it takes a while but then replies come all at once. Seems to be normal. Unfortunately.

I also had issues using Gmail / hotmail - only emails sent from my professional account for through reliably. The rest disappeared Into the ether.

I had problems with electronic transfer - the Swiss Post Office accounts seem to use a 3rd party bank: so all personal details and messages are scrubbed even though I used BIC / IBAN as they suggest. This is the only country I had problems with - all other international transfers just work. It takes time to track the transfer but my deposit was "found" - and I am just awaiting final confirmation for my final payment (fingers crossed).

I've had the same problem, if you're using gmail, answers from Chet's office may not even get to your inbox

I am with him right now, did SRS 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow I have my final appointment. I will talk to Miss Jitada about you. I had the exact same feeling before and worse I got scared I was scammed. They take a while to track your money before getting back to you. Furthermore be aware Miss Jitada works on part time basis and replies in intervals of every 3 days. Once I even had 1 week to wait. This might be the only 'unprofessional' part and I complained about this to her since day one and she explained to me how it works. Besides that I can guaranty your surgery outcome would be excellent just as mine right now, very satisfied. Dr Chett is a perfectionist and will do his best.

My surgery went great on the 17th. Will be back at my hotel on the 21st. Everyone at the surgery center has been terrific, both Dr. Chettawut and his staff. I feel very well taken care of.

P.S. Ms. Som is definitely here in the office; I have seen her 3 times this week. Her English is excellent so don't hesitate to call her if you are having problems via email. They are just very busy.

[blackponyx]

Thanks girls! Som has replied me (using her personal gmail account!). I'm relieved this is a technical problem...and I do suspect it's their official email since i've had no problems receiving other emails through my personal gmail.

Anyhow, thank you girls for the reassurance. Didn't know there are so many there now, good to hear that you all are happy. I am booked for December this year.

Do update us with your experiences and results!!!

Meanwhile, congrats and speedy recovery! xx

P/s: i am so much more assured of my choice! Wish I could do both FFS+SRS on this trip...sigh but no moolah

[RachaelA]

I'm tentatively booked for December too. I still need to look at the hotel more (I'll be traveling alone and from what I read that might be easier), and pay the deposit. Exciting stuff.

The Dusit Princess is a good place to stay if you are solo. I brought about 4 dozen high quality protein/nutrition bars and fruit/nut bars with me from the US to help me get enough protein while confined to my room, supplemented by some groceries from the Tesco supermarket in the Seacon Square mall next door. Room service is reasonable - you can eat a lot of quality food for $10 - $12 per meal, or less if you are not queen size like me. Make sure you stock up on bottled water when you get here, and it is helpful to stock up on heavy flow panty liners too. You can buy bottled mineral water from room service, $1 for 600 ML (about 17 oz.) Oh, if you can bring from the US some quality probiotics that are room temperature stable, it will greatly help your comfort during recovery. Happy bowels = happy girl.

Or if your slick you can snag bottles of water off the room cleaners cart,  lol

[Veroniquex]

Glass ones (singha) are free of charge @ Dusit, and You can ask room service as many bottles as You need, so I was constantly refilled to 10 bottles, just saying... 

[Evolving Beauty]

In Rama hotel I was receiving 2 bottles of 500ml free every day. The garden is very peaceful and relax and smells very good with a lot of flowers. Supermarket just a few meters away however you might not be able to move at all once operated (srs) around 13 days(my case, or even more), I was told the nurse called Si goes to the supermarket to buy if you cannot move.
