My MTF partner, Chelsea had surgery with Dr. Suporn Dec 8th. We've been back here in Seattle since Jan 5th. I'll share some of the good and bad points as I see them about our time there.
Dr. Suporn, while not a warm man on first contact, is perhaps some kind of plastic surgeon genius. He has created an entirely new method which gives greater depth than penile inversion, especially if the penis has been circumcised. You can only get 5 or maybe 6 inches out of a circumcised penis; I'm not sure what it would be if it were uncircumcised. With Suporn's method, 7 is common; one gal had 8, another only 6, but no one had 5. The scrotal sac is used for the vagina walls, cutting away the hair and follicles. I can tell you from my cisgendered perspective, that if you are male attracted and wish to have sex, depth is a good thing. It is very uncomfortable and disrupting when the end of the vagina is hit during intercourse. If you are female attracted, it probably doesn't really matter about depth.
And even though I say that the doctor was not particularly warm, after our weeks spent there, he did warm up to us. We were quite fond of him by the time we left. And his staff is quite wonderful. Their English is good; some better than others, and some better than the doctor's.
One of the other benefits besides technique is the social scene in the hotel. The hotel is pleasant enough; but the cool thing is that
Everyone stays there, and that is a lot of trans people. Suporn does a surgery every day; everyone is required to stay a minimum of 21 days and most stay 28. People from all over the place: many from Holland, Germany, Australia, NZ, USA. There is a river of folks coming and going; everyone gets to be friends; helps each other get around to see things or for supplies. Often there aren't that many other guests in the hotel - mostly just on weekends.
But Chon Buri itself is not a beautiful place. It is hectic, dirty, noisy, generally does not have much to offer. It was only the hotel and the clinic lounge that made staying there bearable. The shops are not geared for tourists, which you might think would make them authentic or something. But what it means is that they carry mostly cheap Chinese goods and hundreds of cell phones. It's nice that the clinic staff takes people out on field trips to the beach and the tourist town of Pattaya because then you can get a better opinion of Thailand. But be forewarned, the trips are only once per week. You might not feel like going anywhere till the third week at least, and Chelsea never did feel like going anywhere. I did though.

One more thing: it's not just warm in Thailand, it's hot! And we were there in the "cool" season. Bring your lightest clothes but be sure you also bring something to keep from freezing in the air conditioned lobby and restaurant. The extremes are really something.
That's a pretty long ramble. Hope you got something out of it.
Hugs,
Ruby
