Heya!
I was thinking about using a topic here to talk to people about my journey and plans to do srs with Dr. Chettawut in thailand in June. I was hoping for people to talk to me about it and to discuss my progress towards getting it done. I have had June 10th reserved for the last month while I got access to the money and set myself up to have everything ready in time. So far I have 1 of my 2 referrals and looking to get the other in mid april. I intend to send the money to him on Monday. I know my flight route to and from there for me (I want to go alone. Don't want my family to come with me). I have no idea what hotel to stay at and would love to hear if anyone else would be in the area at the same time who would like to meet and hang out. I am getting really excited but want to make sure I get everything done and was thinking about writing about all of my experiences about getting to and doing my srs if that was something people wanted to read about. Id also like to hear from other girls who have seen Dr. Chettawut to make sure I am making the right choice for me.
Hopefully things turn out well for me! :D looking forward to hear from people :)
Thanks for reading! -Pia
I did my SRS with Dr. Chet more than a decade ago... I never had to present referral letters... I don't know now... I stayed at D cheaper hotel recommended, it was pretty affordable I stayed for almost a month... Everything will be taken cared of Dr. Chet's team, airport pick up, to and from d hospital, they'll come to your hospital room to do post op stuff.... I bank wired d money... His assistants were beyond nice... I mostly ate at the hotel restaurant or room service ... I would advise u to bring a butt donut pillow..hand sanitizer... Baby wipes... D hotel has a safe...the general population do not speak/understand English... I would advice you to read about the importance of dilation and the post op experiences of many so you'll know what do expect...my only regret is I could have done the other tweaks that I need all together.....Goodluck!
Heyy,
II'm scheduled with him too but in July 22, I'm so excited I can't wait! Hope the best for you, tell US the updates!!
Big hug :-*
Thanks for the replies! I have read lots and lots about dilation. It would be a genuine shock to me if I ever missed a dilation (outside of maybe an emergency scenario or on the plane ride back home). Thanks for some ideas of things to bring though, ill make sure I have everything for when I go! The doughnut pillow is really good from what ive read :o
Sad that I will be leaving a few weeks before you get here. :( I plan to send the deposit tomorrow after my biology final.
Hopefully I will have more interesting things to say after I pay and have everything officially planned. still gotta figure out which hotel I should go to.

So its been a few days, I sent in the money and sent scans of the receipts to Chet. He said it would take approx 5 days for them to receive the wired money. Since I sent it wednesday and I am assuming that it will take 5 business days so I have a bit of a wait still till that happens. I chose the verticle suite for all of the benefits it has over what I have seen and heard of from people. I have planned my flight and gotten my passport. So I am almost completely ready, just waiting to get my second referral from my psychiatrist in april, and for Chet to receive the money (and then do whatever he says I need to after he receives it). I am getting totally excited! Its getting more and more awesome the closer it gets. I have no idea how its gonna be when I get there, I feel like I will be bouncing off walls. :P
Heya Kindou,
I go with my friend in Thailand on june 2017 to have SRS with Dr Chettawut too. We're french MtF.
What a big coincidence, my date is the 8th of june and for my friend the 9th of june!
We reserved the SRS in october 2017. All is payed and done since january and we have the 2 SRS recommendation letters. We allready done all the medical tests needed by Chett to ensure there's no problem. We'll do them again 6 week before the big date as needed. We reserved for the Dusit Princess hotel (one room of course).
My friend is nervous on the idea to stay alone on thursday 8 while I'm in :'(.
Hope we see you there ;)!
Hello Aline, welcome to Susan's Place ! ;)
As for me I'll go with Dr Chettawut hopefully a few months later than you and your GF (still no date has been fixed).
I wish you well for both of you with all my heart. Hugs
Sorry I took so long before posting on here again. Been super duper focused on finals! I am counting down the days till I get to go to Thailand. Seriously getting tough to wait! I might do the whole writing about absolutely everything going on while I'm there if there is interest for it.
