Hi everyone,
I have an orchi scheduled at Yanhee Hospital in Bangkok in January 2027. I have also completed a WPATH assessment in Australia and my GP is sending a dossier ahead.
Before I pay the deposit, I have a few logistics questions I'm hoping the community can help with:
Psychiatric assessments – Yanhee requires two in-house psychiatric assessments. Has anyone been able to pre-arrange these before arriving? How many days before surgery did they need to be done?
Arrival timing – For a surgery date of January 4th, what's the latest I should arrive in Bangkok to complete pre-op checks and the psych assessments?
Hotels – I'm looking for a hotel near Yanhee with an on-site restaurant and room service, or at least easy taxi access to the hospital and airport. I don't need to be within walking distance. Any recommendations for a comfortable recovery spot?
Post-discharge support – I'll be coming out of general anaesthesia and need someone to escort me back to my hotel, plus daily wound dressing checks for a few days. Does Yanhee have a partner caregiver service they work with, or should I arrange this independently?
Anything else – Any tips for a smooth experience at Yanhee, or things I should clarify with the hospital before booking?
I'm travelling alone, so any advice on making the recovery period manageable would be really appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
