I sincerely apologise for the late reply. I would like to thank you for all your help with organising my surgery. The staff at the hospital were all so very helpful and friendly. In particular Yvette was excellent. I needed extra support when I had my laser eye surgery and she was always there to help me and my mum. My surgeon was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable with my surgery. He helped me make a decision of what would be best suited for me plus gave his opinion and it turned out wonderful. I would recommend Meditravel and Phuket International Hospital to my friends and family, which I have already done :) Thank you again for everything :)

Mel organised everything for us from flights to my hospital care and was always available to answer questions for me anytime. My husband and I loved our trip and was thrilled with the quality of care we received at the Phuket International hospital.

Melbourne, Breast Implant, November 2008,
I had my Breast Augmentation on 4th November 2008. Everything went very well and I could not be happier. I was going to go by myself but my daughter decided to come with me. I'm glad she did as I think being by yourself in a foreign country would be a bit daunting after having surgery. The hospital standards are extremely good and I would recommend having surgery at The Phuket International Hospital. My thanks to Dr. Rushapol Sdawat and Yvette and all the staff at the hospital. Also special thanks to Mel for organising everything which went so smoothly
Melbourne, Breast Implant, November 2008
The doctors and Hospital staff were extremely helpful and kind. They made my experience "no Stress".

It was very nice to have mel arrange all accommodations and pickups the transport guy was very personable and friendly each time he picked me up. Dr Rushapols manner inspires confidence in his surgery which produced his promised results are real perfectionist. Everyone was very kind and help ful from my initial contact to my farewell from the airport. I had a very satisfying experience
Perth, Facelift and upper and lower eye lift October 2008,
It is very noticeable the care and cleanliness the hospital offers the moment you walk in. The standard of efficiency is outstanding.

Mel provided very good support throughout and arrangements she made we as she promised so much so that we have now booked to return for more surgery next april
Sydney, Breast Implant, October 2008I booked through Meditravel and have no complaints at all about their service and would highly recommend them to anybody. The doctor spoke very good english and was so good at explaining everything that was going to happen in detail so that I had no hesitations, all the support staff were so friendly and supportive that it made the trip very enjoyable. I highly recommend Meditravel and the service and hospital that they provide
Sydney, Breast Implant, October 2008
After putting up with painfully teeth for many years, i finally decided to do something about it. I contacted Mel from Meditravel and explained my situation, she was helpful and delivered me with a package to take care of my dental requirements.
Not knowing what to expect we were picked up at our hotel on the morning of the first appointment and driven to Bangkok Hospital, Phuket and the dental procedure was commenced. The dentists speak English and are not difficult to communicate with. The equipment is all the latest and my comfort was high on their agenda.
The treatments were handled very professionally with every contingency planed for, The dentist mapped out a treatment plan and the work was started. 10 days later I have a beautiful smile, no more toothaches and and would highly recommend Meditravel to look after any dentistry needs for those looking at this as an alternative to Costly Australian Dentists
Queensland, October 2008, Dental
Hi Melanie,
I would like to say the following regarding my trip to Phuket to have breast augmentation. I found the surgeon to be on the highest quality and very responsive to my questions. He was very skilled and made me feel completely at ease. The hospital was impeccable. And the service was very friendly and sweet. I really appreciate how smoothly everything ran. I was picked up on time and the check-in at the hotel was quick and stress free. Most importantly, four weeks to the day after my surgery I am very happy with the results.. still obviously recovering but constantly slowing down now every time I see a mirror... I have recommended you to all my friends who are considering having it done
Sydney, September 2008, Breast Implantsyep we are home now and trying to get back to life in oz. had a wonderful time , thank you for your part in it all.
The dentist was very successful and the staff were incredible.So gentle and considerate, leaves the Aus dentists way down on the list. The flights were great and the transfers were very smooth, you did a super job.
The resort was very nice the only things were ,where we were in the garden rooms they were a little older, but I guess we could have paid more and stayed in the newer area. Breakfast was wonderful.
We did a lot of trips and the lady from world travel was lovely,
All in all a simply wonderful and memorable trip, don't mind if I don't see a dentist in the near future, and could highly recommend the dentist and everyone involved . Patong was the perfect place to do the first trip to Thailand . Everything was at the doorstep, shops, food, shops, beach, trips, shops ....Oh did I mention the shops.... my gosh I went 35 kg on the scales at airport, lucky they let me through to the plane
Brisbane ,Dental September 2008Good Morning Melanie:
Just wanted to thank you for organizing my trip and ultimately making my dream come true! I could not have ask for better treatment and service at the Phuket International Hospital it was truly first class. Dr. V. is a wonderful surgeon and he explained everything to me in detail, I never once felt rushed he took that time and dedicated it to me. It has been 2 weeks now since my surgery and I know that I am well on my way to recovery, for the first 3 months there is a lot of maintenance with the compression massaging but I know in the long run it will be well worth it and I really want to avoid capsular contracture. I know every surgeon has a different opinion with massaging but I believe that you have to do what your surgeon has instructed you to do.Prior to departure Melanie was kind enough to give me a referral, I spoke to Gaynor for probably an hour one evening and she too explained everything to me in detail and her whole experience in Phuket this certainly helped me to make my decision ...thank you Gaynor.My only challenge was probably doing this alone, trying to dress myself, shampoo and blow dry my hair was rather difficult and sometimes painful but I managed and for some reason I developed chronic bloated ness for about 8 days which was not fun, I can only believe that this was from the anesthetic or medications.All in all this was a fantastic experience and before you know it you are back home with your new assets. Enjoy
Melbourne, Breast Implant, October 2008
I would just like to thank you for all your support and help from answering my copious amounts of questions to assisting both Felicity and I whilst we were in Phuket post-surgery. I must say I was very pleased and impressed by both the results and the hospital itself. I'm an extremely fussy person but I found the hospital lived up to every standard I placed against it and the staff and Dr Rushapol (?) were all very accommodating. My surgeon was just terrific, we discussed details at length and he made sure all aspects of surgery were both absolutely clear as to what I was to expect and how he was going to perform the surgery. He was very professional and was able to achieve the results I had requested down to the letter, his expertise was highly commended and definitely confirmed my confidence in going ahead with the procedures.
In the future I hope to return again as there were so many things I would like to do, however post-surgery was not an ideal time to go jet skiing! After coming home so pleased with the whole ordeal my younger sister hopes to travel over to have similar surgery and I'm sure I will accompany her for support. Definitely appreciate the effort you went through placing Felicity and I together, we got along great and it helped a great deal during the healing process to have someone there to relate and sympathize with!I know it is a daunting experience to begin with but would be happy to reassure and commend Meditravel and their staff/surgeons in relation to their outstanding results and service throughout this process. Overall I was very pleased and thank you once again for all you have done, I now cant wait for summer to come along to show off my new "assets" and am still amazed at the results of my Rhionoplasty as weeks go by and the heeling process continues. Best wishes and warm thanks,
Adelaide, Breast Implants and Rhionoplasty, September 08
Once arriving in Phuket, my friend and I were both picked up by the hospitals driver, the humidity would take some time to get used to but the car was blasting the air con, any car you got into in Phuket had their air cons blasting too. The hospital was more than we imagined, we were totally impressed aesthetically but the service was amazing too, some struggled a bit with their command of English but managed to understand. After my consultation with Dr Rushapol who was a great DR!! I know this was my second round of plastic surgery and I've met a lot of surgeons. He was informative, funny, and just comfortable; I knew I could trust him in getting implants for the look I wanted. The nurses were amazing, I do believe Phuket International Hospital is with out a doubt better than half the hospitals in OZ!. After the op I was sore, I didn't’t expect to be so uncomfortable, then again I did have surgery. After 2 nights in hospital (my friend had a breast reduction and it was also a great job!!) we were taken back to our hotel to spend the next 2 weeks recovering. The hotel was beautiful –DEEAVANA PATONG very central rooms were great too. My only warning to anyone going to Phuket to get surgery is bare in mind it is ridiculously humid so you need to take great care of your wounds. Unless they are covered with waterproof tape, . Shopping was by far the highlight, every fake brand you could imagine under the sun!! bargaining took some time to get a grip of, but my warning to anyone going t-shirts you shouldn't’t pay more than 150-300 BAHT, DVDS- 50BAHT, BAGS=500-800 BAHT, SUNGLASSES-300BAHT, BATHERS 400-600BAHT. They will always start at a ridiculous price, and what we learnt was thinking how much is it worth in Australia, usually nothing is every worth more than $40 depending what you buy, I mean I got 3 pairs of Louis Vuitton heels for 900 BAHT each!, always give them your final price and they will try to say “no no better price please” but don’t fall for it….start to walk away…you will get the price you want! Definitely go see Simon Cabaret that was fantastic, Fantasea show was wonderful too. Don’t go elephant riding, getting in a taxi there (tuk tuk) and going over bumps and bad roads hurt our boobs, so be realistic, you have to be realistic, you have just had surgery. No doubt you’ll meet other people who have had surgery too staying at your hotel, and you share your stories and make some good friends, Mel was also an amazing help throughout this experience, a big thank you to her, and Peter, and Dr Rushapol, and all the nurses!!! Would I do it again? MOST DEFINITELY!!!!
Sydney, Breast Implants, Liposuction August 2008I can understand why patients would be wary, we all hear the horror stories of cosmetic procedures done overseas, but as a nurse perhaps I have insight into the knowledge of the amount of procedures that also go wrong in Australia. It is a risk we take no matter where in the world.
I am so happy with the results, I am so glad I got it done, and am glad I got it done in Thailand. I am rather a shy person, however I am so impressed by the work it has been difficult not to advertise it. I would be more than happy to speak to anyone considering going overseas, and I would be more than happy to offer my absolute reassurance.
I am healing well, and I get butterflies thinking about how excited I am going to be when summer comes into play! Its not that I am someone to flaunt my assets, its more that I don't think about them. I love that, I no longer have to hide behind padded bras and chicken fillets
Melbourne Nurse, Breast Augmentation
Hi Mel,
Well, I'm back and never been happier! Surgery went excellent and result is more and more pleasing each day. Before I left everyone kept saying to me 'you clearly don't watch 60 minutes or a current affair' but, after speaking to you and others that had successful operations in Thailand I decided that the worst that could happen there could also happen here so why let it hold me back, and, I'm glad I didn't’t. We got there on the Wednesday, the hospital picked myself and my two travel buddies up from the airport and dropped us at the Deevana Patong Resort. The welcoming we got there was just unreal! We settled in for the night and finally got some sleep. The following morning, the hospital driver picked us up and dropped us off for my 0900 appointment with the surgeon.
I discussed what I wanted with the surgeon and he discussed what was suitable, next thing you know he's drawing me up for surgery and I'm on a drip with glucose and saline preparing for the op. Before you know it I was in theatre and then back in my room, it was all done. The hospital was very clean, I had my own room with the Plasma. They do have Australian TV haha and some movies you can watch too.
The night after surgery was painful but... bearable. Allot of people (even those who have not had the surgery) just carried on about how painful and risky it was but, I have no regrets and honestly beg to differ with the insight they all had to offer. The day after surgery I was walking around but very slowly and gently, the second day following surgery I was getting a tuk tuk down to the local markets for some shopping. I don't deny the operation was painful but I do think that allot of people don't realise just how quick the recovery is. I’m extremely pleased with the way my breast augmentation turned out and only wish I did it sooner. Would definitely recommend it and really stress that the things that could go wrong there could go wrong here in our own country. The surgeon was exceptional and I'd go back for other work if I really wanted too.
Sydney, August 2008, Breast Augmentation
Hi Melanie
Wow, I finally did it and have the tale to tell and the scars to prove it! Thank you so much for all your help. You were right, Dr Sanguan was wonderful, so reassuring and gentle; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. The level of care was totally professional, and the international services manager Peter also paid me a visit on my last day to check that everything was ok, which was nice. I can understand now why you work for these hospitals and you are very lucky if it means you can go back every now and again! I totally want to go back there again, it's hard being back in NZ and the cold, when Phuket and Phi Phi were like slices of paradise. The food was wonderful too.
New Zealand August 2008, Breast Augmentation
Hi, My name is Gaynor from Perth, Western Australia. Well, what can I say, going to Thailand - Phuket, was one of the best decisions I have ever made, after nearly two months of research. I went to three surgeons for consultations in Perth and came home unhappy with my first impressions. So that is when I called Mel from Destiny Travel, researched it and made the decision to go to Thailand. I also had the opportunity to talk with others who had been and had surgery in Thailand. Words cannot say how much this has meant to me and how wonderful Mel has been. She gave me ongoing support before I left and when I came home. My surgeon in Phuket, made me feel very comfortable, he spoke English very well, and spent a lot of time with me explaining everything and he seemed so much more advanced in knowledge than the surgeons I met in Australia. The Phuket International Private Hospital facilities were excellent and the nursing staff excelled in their nursing care. I give the hospital five stars. My mother who has worked in Nursing Education for many years came along with me and also agreed their facilities and nursing care and support staff were excellent and well advanced to a lot of hospitals here in Australia. I have been in private health care and only used the best hospitals and will say that this hospital ran rings around the Australian hospitals.
After I woke up from my surgery, my surgeon was there with me and he told me how perfect and happy he was with the results of the surgery and I will never forget hearing that. I am so pleased with the outcome of my surgery. I stayed in hospital for one night, and then was taken back to the resort. I was given all the medical supplies I needed once out of hospital.
Yes I was sore, but I was still able to go shopping, went for a elephant ride and even had a canoe ride. I was able to wear bikinis and go to the beach because there was only little swelling and I had no bruising, to me they were perfect. Going to Thailand was a third of the cost in Australia, so I save seven thousand dollars, if not more, and will be going back for sure.
Regarding the negativity the doctors in Australia have with people going to another country for surgery, I believe it a lot of baloney/rubbish as I have been there and done it and happy with the results, saved money and had a wonderful holiday as the people of Thailand are beautiful. I think the Australian doctors and hospital system are very greedy and over charge for the services they render.
Thank you so much Melanie for everything and bringing a dream I have had for so long come true and will be happy to talk with anyone wishing to take the same path.
Perth July 2008 Gaynor Brown. Mandurah (Brest Augmentation)
I am 47 and have wanted to have larger breasts all my life and I would like to thank Destiny Meditravel and Dr Rushapol for fulfilling my dream. I was a 10A now I am a 10C and they look totally natural. I was originally going to have this operation in Australia and was quoted over $12,000.00. I made many enquiries into different plastic surgery destinations but Destiny Meditravel y were able to answer all of my questions and provide a two week holiday, with an overnight stay at Phuket Hospital and a night in Bangkok during the July school holidays. I was also able to discuss my concerns with another patient of Dr Rushapol who had had a similar procedure. Melanie from Destiny Medi-Travel organise everything for me, tickets, transfers, appointments with the Doctor, special bra for after the operation, tips on Thai shopping etc. I am extremely happy with my surgery and it was the best holiday I had in years. I took my 17 year old daughter with me as support and we shopped and went sightseeing to our hearts content. The whole package including the surgery, with a fantastic holiday cost approximately $7,000.00 in total for us both.
The hospital room was excellent and the nursing staff were very good. Every effort was made by the hospital staff to minimise any language difficulties. One of my main concerns was what to do if follow up treatment was required. I was told that Destiny Meditravel would assist with organising appointments and treatment could be continued either in Australia or back in Thailand. I would definitely recommend having this surgery done overseas and would definitely consider having other procedures in the future.
Destiny Meditravel's organizational skills were excellent. They could be contacted at anytime prior to travelling and whilst I was away. These skills let me enjoy my holiday and basically took most of the stress away, thank you again as I am extremely happy with my results.
Sydney July 2008 (Breast Augmentation)
The service provided has been outstanding on all levels. From the moment I contacted Mel, through to travel arrangements, the hotel and the staff. A little nervous to begin with, I felt at ease and relaxed throughout the hospital admission. I would highly recommend this service for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. As a nurse in Australia, I am also very picky and found the standard of care to be the same if not better. Extremely happy with the result too
Melbourne July 2008 (Breast Augmentation)Hi Mel, I'd like to say a big thank you for organising our trip to Phuket for my new look... :-) I am more than happy with the surgery, the Doctor, the hospital and definitely the staff at Phuket International. Dr Rushapol (or Dr Dominique as he likes to be known by westerners) was absolutely fantastic. Showed true professionalism in his work and his approach to myself and me wishes. And he is quite the character as well, many laughs were had with him. The hospital is 1st class... honestly, we got better service and attention there then what we would have here in Australia, from the staff especially. So, once again, Thank you. We have no hesitation at all in recommending you to anyone that is thinking of going overseas for any type of surgery.... they are the best!!!
Perth July 2008 (Breast Augmentation)
I travelled from townsville to phuket to have a tummy tuck done - because after numerous attempts at having it done here and having the operation cancelled i got fed up.
I had my pintail appointment with the surgeon at 9 am on the tuesday morning and after being assessed and complete blood work and x -ray s done was in theatre at at 11am that same day. All of the staff in the hospital where completely patient oriented and nothing was to much to ask. When we had one nurse come in there were 3 - 4 of them that would come in. It was the matron that would administer the drugs and only her. And only the surgeon would look at and redress my wound. Was told once we left the hospital that if anything was to go wrong during our time in phuket that all we needed to do was to ring the hospital and they would send a doctor and nurse to us.We were extremely happy with everything that happened during and after my operation and would recommend the services of this company to anyone that was considering it.
Townsville June 2008 (Tummy Tuck)
If your desire for breast augmentation is to feel confident, have better body proportion and wear sexy clothes while fitting it all into your budget with a couple of days to recovery then Destiny Travel will work well for you. Definitely do your homework on sizing and communicate that very clearly with your surgeon. Don’t have unrealistic expectation. Having said that, Dr Pongsakorn asked great questions about my lifestyle and suggested appropriate sizing. I had surgery four weeks ago. I still do think I should have gone for 50 cc or more bigger. The organizing of the whole package went smooth and I am glad that Melanie handled all of that. The hospital staff were fantastic, caring and very friendly. Everything was explained really well while in the consultation and there is a nurse present all the time. Just a suggestion, there is no need to pack too many clothes and try to take tops with button in front as it is easier to wear.
Queensland MAY 2008 (Breast)
I would just like to say that after being someone who was very wary of getting dental work done over in Thailand I would now recommended it to ANYONE that asked. I now have an absolutely beautiful smile and it was such an easy and affordable process! It cost less than one quarter of the price I was quoted in Australia and the service was flawless. My Friend 'Neil' was always waiting patiently to pick me up for each appointment and bring me home after a long session in the chair. I'd like to thank you also Mel for your help and the peace of mind you gave me when I was a little stress before my trip!
Queensland May 2008 (Dental)Hi Melanie,
I'm finally back from Phuket. Firstly I would just like to thank you and all the staff at Phuket Hospital for all your help and patience through this journey of mine. Everyone from Doctor Pongsakorn to nurses and other staff were fantastic. They were all very patient and helpful with me. As you know I travelled to Phuket by myself and was very hesitant on doing so in the first place. So far I am still too sore to really enjoy my procedures but hopefully in the next month I will stand back and in the mirror and smile. Doctor Pongsakorn is a lovely man and all he did was reassure me everything was ok because I think my pain threshold is not that good. I always had questions for him and he always replied with a smile on his face. The staff at hospital were fantastic too. There is nothing I can complain about except for my pain. The hotel was great too. Even though I was very bored as I couldn't do many activities due to my condition and I was alone. I would recommend you !
and the hospital to anyone, especially anyone wanting to travel alone. Maybe the only suggestion I have is that stay at the hospital should be for a longer duration as you need that little time longer and because you are in a foreign country and aren't quite as mobile as you want to be. Personally I think I would have been happy to stay at hospital for the whole 12 days instead of paying for a hotel I would have rather preferred to pay extra for hospital stay. But this is all about preference overall, again thank you for everything. I will be liaising with Dr Pongsakorn in the next month or two to send more photos of me once I have healed better. Thank you again so much. All the best for the future.
Melbourne March 2008Mel, Thank you very much for organising a first class service from yourself and the great doctors in Phuket,I am very happy with the results and only wish i did it sooner,not only did the surgery exceed my expectations but the whole plan you arranged you were very efficient,professional and friendly.Hope to catch up with you one day!
Queensland November 2007Hi Mel,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have just got back to work after a great christmas break and just getting back into things.
Everything went really well and the doctor and hospital were great. Most of all the two young ladies over there that we deal with fantastic, they made me feel comfortable and made everything that bit easier…
I am still a little tender but all in all things went great and I am extremely happy with my results.
Once again thank you for all your help and I have been recommending you to all my friends
Perth, December 2007 ( Breast Augmentation)The hospital was first class; the doctors and nurses were really friendly and professional. When I first arrived for my consult and for pre surgery checks, such as blood test, heart monitor, x-rays etc, there was no waiting around. It was basically like the doctors were waiting for you, instead of the other way around. Dr Pathom was just the nicest man - After meeting him in Perth, I came to Thailand with no worries or concerns whatsoever about the surgery. Also, the lady that come to collect me from the hotel (forgotten her name) was really, really helpful too. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Thailand to someone for anything they would like done.
Surgery itself was fine - I remember a bit of pain straight afterwards, and I know I wanted to do nothing but sleep, but every hour - on the hour - one of the nurses would knock on the door and come in to check my temperature and take my blood pressure - they were so nice about disturbing me though! Everything was great after that - in fact the night after my surgery, I was out to dinner and walking around Phuket trying to avoid the tailors !
I've recommended both you and Dr Pathom to a girlfriend of mine who is thinking of having some surgery done later on this year; may even be back myself yet! Thanks so much for all of your help - it was great that you were there at the same time too, so that we could actually meet
Perth, November 2007 ( Breast Augmentation)Hi Mel,
I was so impressed with the hospital in Phuket the hospital and staff were first class. Admittedly I was nervous about the idea of surgery in a foreign country but once I walked into that hospital and saw how they treated me they disappeared. dr Piyaps was such a lovely man and so understanding of what I wanted to achieve and believe me I have the flattest stomach now thanks to him. I normally hate staying in hospitals but I was fortunate enough to stay in the Presidential Wing and really after being in there the hotel could not compete with the standard it had internet access,great food, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms my own kitchenette and my friend could stay over night with me. Once again for anyone who might be nervous about travelling overseas for surgery they need not be with you organizing everything flights, accommodation and all the appointments and surgery and keeping track of me while I was there made me feel very reassured and my friend an I intend on going back next year this time it is her turn to be the patient
Melbourne November 2007 (Tummy Tuck)
Hey mel,
just want to say Thanks for organizing my dental procedures in Bangkok and all my travel,accommodation to Phuket. You made the whole process so easy. When i got home i couldn't wait to refer you to all my friends and family that where considering cosmetic surgery. All the dentist where very nice and dental procedures when almost pain free, as you assured me on one of my after hours calls, that you welcomed, So Thanks again for all your help and advice and i will be talking to you soon about my next trip
Perth November 2007 (Dental)Hi Melanie,
Just a quick note to thank you for the great job you did organizing the surgery and holiday. The lasik went really well (should've done it long ago), The accommodation in Phuket was perfect and we had a great time. We then did a LOT of shopping in bangkok and loved the location and quality of the hotel . I look forward to talking with you when the next trip comes up. Thanx
Sydney, November 2007 (Lasik Eye correction)Hi Melanie, Everything went really well and Dr. Piyaps was great. Pla was also lovely and very helpful. I was very impressed by the whole process. I am very happy with the results and the whole process overall (apart from the pain) haha.Any way I have already recommended you to a friend who would like a tummy tuck and I am sending her the link to your web site.
Once again, Thanks very much for everything
New Zealand, November 2007Mel, I'm Back after having my upper and lower eyes done and am super pleased with the results as everyone says I look at least 10 year younger and not so tired so that is a good thing for me. I wanted to thank you for all your help organizing everything it makes it so much easier when I only have to deal with one person to book my surgery and all the flights and accommodation. It was great to actually meet you when I was in Phuket too just knowing that you were there was great reassurance for me!. The hotel and the hospital were exceptional and having the hospital staff transfer me from the hotel to all my appointments took the stress out of having to sort it myself. I have recommend you to a bunch of my friends so expect the phone to start ringing off the hook as I have a few. Once again thanks for all your help through the process it was highly appreciated
Adelaide October 2007Well firstly I must say the hospital and staff were superb very professional and thorough. They really looked after me during my stay in hospital , which was very very painful for the first week but started to ease and became uncomfortable. But things seem to be on the mend Still sore even though its 2 weeks down the line, but much better.The Doctor he was very good and very helpful I would recommend him to anyone Thank you for everything and all the best to you
Malaysia, OctoberThe staff at Vejthani Hospital would have to be the best that I have ever seen. They made myself and my wife, Heather feel very comfortable - as they could not do enough for us. We felt like we were in a hotel. All the staff were so nice. The doctor was the best and thanks to Hyder and his team for their help. Thank you again."
Perth SeptemberJust want to say Thank You for the excellent Customer care that we received from you. From the beginning right to the end.
I would not have thought that the treatment we got would be so good. The staff and Dr treated you as if you were the most important person there. I do recommend them to anyone that is thinking of having any surgery done. The hospitals are clean. The hotel was excellent.
I had ugly scars from a previous operation and Dr Preecha removed them for me as well and now it looks as if i had a minor operation.
All the pain is gone and we are very happy. Thank you once again and would recommend you anytime
Perth, September 2007My name is Lea' I' am 30 years old with 4 children. I was desperately looking for plastic surgeons to give me implants that i have wanted for many years.
My breast where empty with lots of skin, and I had no self confidence and low self esteem. After visiting 4 doctors around Perth in WA, I found myself depressed because of the money it was going to take. Then I heard of Destiny Medi-Travel. Boy it was meant to be. I was scared bout having to go to a third world country for major surgery, I kept visualizing people not speaking english and they where going to butcher me in some hut. The money was the right price but what was I in for. Believe me I was scared. I had rang Medi-Travel and spoke to a lovely lady Melanie whom her self has had breast implants over in thailand too. I started calling Mel every time I had a question, whether it would be earlier in the morning or late at night she was there for me. The staff treat you like a first class person and they continue to do so until you return home. I booked my surgery, very nervous and scared I got a consultant like melanie, her name was TIKI, as soon as i landed at the airport, she went in to help me get settled for my surgery, she was there when i woke up to. I was so relieved at the sight of my breast they are so perfect. Three day post op i was swimming in the pool. I even had a bikini on showing my new assets. Hooray for my doctors and melanie support. My life has changed I have a renewed since of self esteem and confidence. I cant keep my hand off my self now lol. It was a dream come true and I have no regrets at all, I would love to have liposuction done next time I go. All in all I spent $8,000 for my surgery in a nice private hospital, and a 10 day stay at a 5 star hotel with room service. Compared to Perth Prices I saved an extra 5,000. And would have only had breast
Perth August 2007I have to tell you that my teeth look amazing and was only 1/3 or the cost the dental clinics were A+++
Melbourne August 2007I have been home for a couple of months and wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the service offered in Thailand. The Hospital is world class. The doctor was excellent and the nurses were both kind, caring and ever present. The liaison person who looked after us over there was outstanding. She took care of all medical and travel arrangements for us. All in all we had a very positive experience. Thanks for your help with this
Brisbane 22 June 2007The Bangkok Hospital Phuket was a beautiful environment with very caring staff. I was very happy with the attitude of the hospital staff & the care they displayed towards me. I would definitely consider having more surgery done there in the future & have recommended it to friends & family

Perth 12 June 2007
After considering the options for local dental treatment and travelling to Thailand, Melanie made the decision easy. Her dedication and confidence had me feeling assured that I as in good hands and of course the costs spoke for themselves. However I was still amazed at the quality of the work, the professionalism of the dentists, the TLC with which I was treated and the results. In one day I had several old filling s replaced, two wisdom teeth removed, a bone graft and post implant. I expected at least some pain but it never came. Afterwards I expected some post operative pain and swelling – none came. Great accommodation, handy location to the dentist. Altogether a great experience. Highly recommended
One word of advice for anyone planning a long chair session – bring your iPod, it’s a great mental anesthetic
Sydney, 4 May 2007Hi Melanie, just a brief note to express my sincerest thanks for all the hard work you have put into making my upcoming trip ( in 45 days) a reality, i cannot thank you enough for the attention to detail you have shown, and you have made this a trip of a lifetime. I am going 5 star all the way and i cant believe the great price you got for me. After the surgery i will write again and give you lots of details. Thank you once again for all you have done ..i certainly couldn't have done it without you

Hi Melanie!
Thanks for the email – I was going to email you today.
Concerning my trip, everything was – perfect. I am very pleased with the results, and was very impressed with the high standards maintained at the Bangkok Hospital Phuket. Dr Pathom and the staff of the Aesthetics center were brilliant – I really cannot commend the staff too highly.
Perth 22 March 2007
Melanie was very helpful and it made me feel more comfortable that I could actually speak to a person rather than doing it all by correspondence, she was very enthusiastic on the phone and was a great help that she had gone through the surgery I was about to. How would you rate the quality of care at your hospital? EXCELLENT A+++
Brisbane, February 2007
Mel,
Thanks for all your help with our surgery and Travel arrangements which were cheaper than anything our travel agent could find!. My husband and I arrived in Phuket to be met at the airport and taken to our hotel which was lovely The next day I had by appointment and then surgery that afternoon all went well and I was surprised with my new breast how little pain I would feel. the hospital and all the staff were amazing I would not expect to receive the treatment that I got there in our sydney hospitals. Had a great holiday and got out and did a bunch of shopping for the kids. once again thanks very much
