Stay where you are. Don't go to either country. And don't get on an airplane. You need to start reading more news. 

I was very surprised to see all the negative comments at first. (Who could possibly object to someone wanting a procedure that would make himself happier, and that has no negative effect on anyone else?). But then I remembered which forum I was on. Many of this forums participants are simply the MOST negative, bored and miserable group of expats on planet earth. If they can't be happy, then they will not allow anyone else to be happy either. To the original poster: If this is what will make your life happier & better, you should definitely do it! Good for you! Just be sure to research the clinic, hospital & doctor thoroughly first. In some respect, Thailand can be a great equalizer in respect that regular folks can have access to procedures that only the wealthy can afford in the West. I have saved a lot of money by having dental work done at the BIDC in Bangkok over the last 10 years or so, which offers a super clean, modern and efficient facility for any type of dental work, with everything is done in-house. There are also Joint Commision evaluated hospitals in Thailand as well, certifying international standards. Good luck on your procedure. Don't pay any attention to the naysayers and those whom for whatever reason, wish to remain miserable (or miserably bald) and want to bring you down with them.
