A man was arrested in Si Racha, Chon Buri, on February 12 for allegedly operating as an unlicensed doctor from his home. The suspect, 38-year-old Thanat, offered penile enhancement procedures advertised through TikTok. Police detained him while he was allegedly performing an enlargement procedure on a client, highlighting the immediate public safety concern.

Complaints led the Consumer Protection Police Division to investigate. Thanat's TikTok account, "Chang Bew Modify," advertised risky procedures such as pearl implants and filler injections. Officials warned that these could cause significant health issues if performed by unqualified individuals.

At Thanat's residence, authorities found makeshift medical facilities and numerous medical supplies, including 683 pearl beads and 136 surgical blades. Thanat admitted to lacking a medical licence and confessed to learning these procedures in prison. He had been operating for about two years, seeing seven to eight clients a month.

The case underscores the dangers of unauthorized medical practices. According to Police Lieutenant General Natsak Chewanasai, there are no medical benefits to such procedures, and they can result in severe infections or dysfunction. The public is cautioned about trusting unverified medical services.

Moving forward, Thanat faces multiple legal charges, and investigators will pursue further proceedings. The authorities remain vigilant against illegal medical operations, aiming to prevent further public harm, reported The Thaiger.

Key Takeaways

• Unlicensed medical practices pose severe health risks.

• Authorities stress vigilance against illegal medical services.

• Legal proceedings are underway for the suspect.

He doesn't have the looks of a real doctor.. Why do people believe him and being"treated" by him??

I was wondering why my enhanced member kept reaching for bags of peanuts.

Aren't there unlicensed practitioners all over Pattaya that specialize in penis enlargement?

Sorry. I'll leave now.

Jeez, I thought they just got tats.

He should be made to reenact the procedure on himself using the same gear.

What to expect when even in Europe or America, often one reads of scandals involving a quack posing as a doctor and managing to practice unnoticed for years in some well known clinic.

I went to a chiropractor in Chiang Mai it’s a wait two weeks to get in the Guy was just booked beautiful office I think they were like two fake doctors of chiropractics working there in after my first treatment I started questioning his educational background and I found that there were like self I never went back but I couldn’t believe how many people were actually in their waiting room and waiting to see them and they’re the operating their clinic in plain sight I’m in a beautiful office beautiful building so unbelievable that nobody goes in there and just shut them down TIT

What could possibly go wrong by getting a discount procedure from a non-doctor, working out of his house on your penis?

There are certain skills necessary to thrive and survive in this world, and two of them is a sense of discrimination and logic.

yeah, but it only lasts about 5 minutes

My goodness. This guy learnt how to do this procedure in prison. Geeze, can you imagine how unclean that environment was and what did he use as a knife and a local pain killer, being that it was a prison? Bet he did it in the showers while all the gay guys were watching their mates get a bigger sausage.

Prisoners there must be as rough and tuff as you can get. The life expectancy would have been short also.

I I suppose the reduction procedures went off OK?

Sounds horrible- I hope he is convicted but doubt that the evidence will stand up in Court

Witch doctor was it🤔
