What is required is a "Bai rap rawng paed" which you can get by walking into any clinic where the doctor asks you how you're feeling and checks your pulse.

Here in Bangkok, it usually costs between 80 to 150 baht and takes 3 to 5 minutes.

You're broke, man.

"My friend" goes with the Elite Visa because he is American and cannot stand that the IRS forces him to file the FBAR every year which requires him to report all balances in foreign bank accounts. Even though 800K isn't a lot to him, he cannot stand the intrusiveness of what he considers to be a globalist police state.

The Thailand Elite visa is always an option if you have the dosh.

It doesn't matter if they owe it to you. They will not give it to you. TIT.

So sad that there are few testimonials here and few real answers to the original question. I think that if you want a hair transplant, then you should give it a shot.

I started going bald in my early 20's and by the time I was about 55, I just didn't like looking at the bald guy in the mirror.

On a trip to India in late 2016 when I was 60, a very dear friend who knew me from when I was a teenager, goaded me into it at a top clinic in the Punjab and even paid for most of the cost.

I was so bald, that I didn't even think I had enough donor. I went through the procedure over 2 days and 18 hours of surgery to get over 6000 grafts transplanted for a cost of under $3000 US.

It also included, PRP (Protein Rich Plasma) injections.  The hair took hold and grows faster than it ever did. People tell me that I look 15 years younger and I feel more confident and enjoy seeing my face in the mirror so much more than for the past 3 decades. It's not a full head of hair, but it is distributed well and looks great on photos and cam chats and gives a great first impression.

Most importantly, I feel much better about myself and that's what really matters.

My biggest problem is being profiled as a white male living in Asia for almost 30 years when I return to the USA for one visit of about five weeks every year.

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but at customs, they single me out and go through everything in my bags and force me to give passwords to all my electronic devices.

They belittle me and accuse me in so many words of being a money launderer, human trafficker and drug dealer for about 40 minutes and then let me go on my way after asking where I'm staying and who I'll be seeing.

They take copious notes.
