Considerably cheaper than the west and very good also.

I researched it for a trans character in a novel I wrote. We had one long time trans friend, who was gorgeous and worked as cashier in a bar we used. She had so many different surgeries but couldn't afford the final conversion. One guy from the USA who was fairly regular on his hols there asked "how much more do you need and how much do you want to?" She told him the sum in Thai Baht, it was just over a £1000/$1200 and later in the evening he disappeared to an ATM and came back with the money and gave it to her. He made no fuss but she was in tears.

A couple of months later she went from the most demure hideaway to the biggest show-off, in the tightest shorts, she was that proud of it. She was forever taking my girlfriend out to the ladies, "Dao come and see my pussy!"

I heard that she had settled down and married another ex-pat. (Assumed she lives happily ever after.)

Such is life out there in Pattaya.
