webfact Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Fake beauty doctor in Khon Kaen is 24 year old unqualified quack Picture: Daily News KHON KAEN: -- A pretty 24 year old woman in Khon Kaen was treating hundreds of locals who wanted to look just like her. Little did they know that "Dr Waew Dao" was just a fake - and her Botox parlor had no license, reports Daily News. Two or three dozen patrons were being treated a day at the house near the park in Sri Nual Road. When police and health department authorities raided yesterday there were five hopeful teenagers waiting for treatment. They had heard about the clinic on Facebook. Dr Waew Dao - real name Natthaya Amphaipornkarnkun - had been operating for 2-3 years without qualifications or licenses. Some of her family members were helping out too. There were plenty of drugs, fillers, supplements and of course Botox on hand as evidence. Natthaya said she had worked in a clinic before and learnt the tricks of being a doctor on the internet. She was charged with several offences related to drugs and giving surgical treatments without authorization.

chiang mai Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The same story repeats all over Thailand in every profession, I learned how to do something from my previous employer and from the internet so I started my own business (practising as an expert), every profession in every town, beware.

WhizBang Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 "learnt the tricks of being a doctor on the internet." Oh my. I wonder how many other 'doctors' (especially at these mall and street corner clinics) learned their 'tricks of being a doctor' on the internet? You can trust nothing and no one in Thailand.

Lupatria Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 After extended research in the health industry in Thailand, I only see a doctor here when it is broken, won't stop bleeding, or falls off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuketboy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 2 to 3 dozen patients a day? Are they sure on those figures? Given the price of botox injections at proper clinics, she would have been making an absolute fortune. Clinics charge anywhere between 9,000 and 12,000 baht for this. Say she went on the lower side and charged 9,000 per patient x 24 patients = 216,000 baht per day. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 All you need is a gallon of white paint, a white coat, a stethoscope, and a quick trip to Khaosan Road for the "Official Document", all easily obtainable, and you are in business :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Back in the very early 80,s there was a "doctor" on Soi Post Office who was doing breast enhancement surgery using contraceptives filled with tap water ! Long gone before the merde hit the phatlom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To own an optician shop and call themselves an optician, no qualifications required. Same applies with electricians, mechanical engineers and even local vets.

overherebc Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Any old Brits, like me, remember a cartoon strip called The Perishers. One character was a Bloodhound called BH. Calcutta Failed.

currynamnam Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) It's sad...seems like most customers was really young and found her practice on Facebook. 2 questions , why the <deleted> would you need a treatment to eradicate wrinkles...even I had none before the mid twenties ! And, low estimate 9 k bht / treatment and very young.... weekly allowance maybe ? Would be interesting to find out the income bracket of the teenagers parents. Back in the days the word "pretty" carried a positive vibe.. now it seems to have been downgraded to implicate airhead Sent from my SM-G930F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Edited December 31, 2016 by metisdead Profanity removed.

ballpoint Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Where's the crime in being a fake beauty doctor? Fake beauties have just as much right to be treated as anyone else. (And, anyone who visits any sort of "beauty doctor" is a fake beauty, in my opinion). (And, also, is an unqualified quack better or worse than a qualified quack?)
