THAILAND: STILL THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO HAVE YOUR PENIS CHOPPED OFF
According to the news from Gridskipper,Thailand has a well-deserved
reputation as a haven for ladyboys and the men who love them. The
large number of transsexuals, also known as "katoeys," in Thailand has
fueled a boom in cheap quickie sex-change surgery clinics offering
castrations in twenty minutes — or less — for around $125.
The reporter said Thai government sees these speedy procedures as a
public health hazard, since they don't require the extensive
psychological evaluations that come with more formal gender
reassignment therapy. To fight these sex-change chop shops the Thai
government recently announced a temporary ban on castration surgeries.
Experts doubt that the new restrictions will have a major effect on
the Thai tranny
operationindustry: it's easy to perform quickie castrations in secret.
Even if the castration ban is effective, there remain a large number
of clinics that offer more formal sex-change surgery packages to
aspiring ladyboys. After the jump, see why Thailand remains a great
destination for medical tourists looking to remove their manhood.
A quick web search shows that there are tons of Thai medical practices
geared towards providing tourists with all-inclusive sex-change
services. These clinics, often affiliated with local hospitals, offer
everything from breast implants to "penile inversion," "facial
feminizing surgery," and "Adam's Apple shaving." In contrast to the
illegal castration outfits, these clinics have higher prices and
require proof that patients have undergone counseling prior to
surgery. In general, it seems that a complete sex change can be had at
a Thai clinic for between $1,000—$2,000. This may not be as cheap as
one of the newly illegal castration procedures, but it's still a
bargain compared to its cost in most Western countries.
Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn, runs a Plastic Surgery, a ten-year-old clinic
that exemplifies the Thai sex-change trend. The clinic's web site says
that Dr. Kunaporn has given "hundreds of transsexuals the most
beautiful female genitalia in the world — transforming them from
freaky she-males into gorgeous real women."
The site also notes that Dr. Kunaporn is a "remarkably handsome,"
"lean six-foot man," and "one can not help but notice [that] his fine
delicate hands which look both nimble and adroit." He definitely
sounds like the kind of guy you can trust with your genitals! If
reading about Dr. Kunaporn's good looks and remarkable ability to
"take an ugly male penis and transform it into the most beautiful
labia and vagina imaginable... only outdone by God himself" hasn't
convinced you to get your work done in Thailand.
