Dr. Natha Chongpison

Dr. Natha Chongpison is an ophthalmologist whose published specialty is oculoplastic surgery. That is the part of eye surgery concerned with lids, the soft tissue around the eye and the orbit, the bony cavity in which the eyeball sits. Both hospitals that list Dr. Natha describe the same focus. Phyathai 2 Hospital places the surgeon in its Eye Center under the heading of orbit and oculoplastic surgery, and Ramkhamhaeng Hospital lists Dr. Natha as an oculoplastic and orbit specialist. Both hospitals are in Bangkok.

This profile is deliberately precise about what is and is not documented. Dr. Natha is not presented here as a plastic surgeon, and the hospital pages we reviewed do not publish a list of individual procedures. So we do not attach any specific operation to this profile. What we can say with a source is the specialty, the training, the two hospital affiliations and the languages. Everything else on this page is clearly labelled general guidance for patients who are thinking about eye-area surgery.

Quick facts

• Name as published: Dr. Natha Chongpison
• Specialty: oculoplastic surgery (ophthalmology), subspecialty orbit and oculoplastic surgery
• City: Bangkok
• Hospitals: Phyathai 2 Hospital (Eye Center) and Ramkhamhaeng Hospital
• Languages listed: Thai and English
• Next step: send a request via our patient team on the Dr. Natha request page

The facts above are taken from the two hospital profiles and were reviewed on 2 October 2026; our research methodology explains the process. A licence number for Dr. Natha is not shown because we have not been able to confirm one. Patients are free to ask the hospital to confirm the surgeon's registration with the national medical council before treatment.

Phyathai 2 Hospital's profile sets out three training steps:

• Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), Mahidol University, at Siriraj, finishing in 2002.
• Diploma of the Thai Board of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, 2007.
• Fellowship in Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery, at Ramathibodi Hospital's Faculty of Medicine, Mahidol University, 2010.

Read as a path, this is a general medical degree, followed by specialist training in ophthalmology (eye medicine and surgery), followed by a dedicated fellowship in oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery. The fellowship is the part most relevant to patients who are considering surgery around the eyelids and orbit, because it is where the subspecialty is learned after the ophthalmology board training.

A note on dates: the hospital lists each stage as a range of years (for example, the medical degree appears as a span ending in 2002). We show the year in which each stage ends. The profiles we reviewed do not name any society memberships, academic appointments or publications for Dr. Natha, so none are claimed here. We therefore use the plain title Dr., as Phyathai 2 does.

In general, when you assess any surgeon's training you can ask three simple questions. Which specialty board did they complete? Was there extra fellowship training in the area you are asking about? Does the training match the operation you have in mind? For the eyelid and orbit area, an ophthalmology board plus an oculoplastic fellowship is the kind of pathway that matches the question.

Two current affiliations are documented.

Phyathai 2 Hospital. The hospital's own profile lists Dr. Natha as an ophthalmologist in its Eye Center, and gives orbit and oculoplastic surgery as the area of expertise. The site is Phyathai 2, a private hospital whose official address is 943 Phaholyothin Road, Samsennai, in Bangkok's Phayathai district; its own about page gives 1987 as the opening year and 550 beds. Separately it operates a Beauty Center with laser and plastic surgery arms, but Dr. Natha's profile places the surgeon in the Eye Center rather than in that Beauty Center. Our Phyathai 2 Hospital page has the facility details.

Ramkhamhaeng Hospital. The Ramkhamhaeng appointment directory lists Dr. Natha as an oculoplastic and orbit specialist. The hospital is on Ramkhamhaeng Road in the Bang Kapi area of Bangkok, in the east of the city. Its doctor directory also lists other oculoplastic surgeons and ENT surgeons with facial plastic surgery expertise. See our Ramkhamhaeng Hospital page.

Because the surgeon is listed at two hospitals, the practical question for a patient is which site a particular consultation or procedure would take place at. We do not publish clinic days or schedules, because the hospitals do not publish them in a form we can verify. Our patient team asks the hospital for the actual option when you send a request.

The profiles do not list leadership roles, previous positions or years in practice, so we do not describe any.

The documented focus is orbit and oculoplastic surgery. Neither hospital publishes a procedure-by-procedure list for Dr. Natha, so we do not state that Dr. Natha performs any particular operation. This section explains the field in general, so that you know what to ask.

In general, oculoplastic surgery is the area of ophthalmology that covers lids, tear drainage and the orbit. Patients are referred for medical, reconstructive and cosmetic reasons. Examples of questions that fall into this field include drooping of the upper lid (ptosis), excess upper-lid skin that hangs over the lashes, lid malposition, and problems of the bony socket around the eye. Some of these are functional problems rather than cosmetic ones, which is one reason an eye surgeon is often the right first consultation.

Where this meets cosmetic surgery. Our blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) guide describes what that operation involves for a typical patient; our ptosis correction page is still being written, so ask the patient team if you want to discuss drooping lids. Reading a guide does not mean Dr. Natha offers the operation: that is a question to put to the hospital in your consultation request. If you are interested in an eyelid operation, say so, and ask the hospital to confirm whether this surgeon would assess it.

What the general guides say. The blepharoplasty guide frames the operation as reshaping lids by taking out or moving surplus tissue. It adds that surgeons screen for dry eyes, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease and visual problems for safety reasons, and that drooping of the lid margin is a different problem that needs muscle repair. That is exactly why an assessment by someone trained in oculoplastic surgery is useful before any decision is made.

What is not documented. We have no source for the volume of any procedure, outcomes, techniques used, or whether Dr. Natha treats cosmetic cases, reconstructive cases or both. We do not guess. If these matter to you, they are fair questions for the consultation.

What follows is general advice for any oculoplastic consultation; how Dr. Natha runs appointments is not documented.

Be clear about what bothers you. Tell the team whether your concern is how the eyes look (hooding, puffiness, asymmetry), how they work (heavy lids that block vision, watering, difficulty closing the eyes) or both. Surgeons separate these, and the answer, the plan and the type of procedure can differ.

Share your eye history. Dry eyes, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease and earlier eye surgery are conditions any lid surgeon will want to hear about. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, or have had laser vision correction, mention it.

Questions worth asking in the consultation

• What is your assessment of my eyelids or orbit, and is there a functional component as well as a cosmetic one?
• Which options are suitable, and which do you advise against?
• At which hospital would this be done, and who gives the anaesthetic?
• What are the specific risks for my case, including dry eyes and difficulty closing the eyes?
• What follow-up do I need before I fly home, and who do I contact if there is a problem afterwards?
• What does the quote include, and what would be charged separately?

Ask for it in writing. A written treatment plan, what the price includes and the follow-up arrangement should come from the hospital, not from a verbal summary. Our patient team can help you request them.

The documented international-patient facts are limited. For Phyathai 2 Hospital, the Beauty Center page lists contact channels including Line Official and WeChat accounts, and the hospital states opening hours for that center. The pages we read do not describe an international patient desk or hospital-wide language list. At the doctor level, the Ramkhamhaeng appointment page lists Thai and English as languages for Dr. Natha.

We do not have verified information on interpreters, airport transfers, accommodation help or visa letters at either hospital, so we do not claim them. Our team can raise those points with the hospital for you.

General planning points for eye-area surgery. In general, patients are advised to arrange to stay near the hospital until the surgeon confirms they can travel, to bring sunglasses, and to avoid swimming and eye make-up until cleared. Our blepharoplasty guide gives an indicative stay for a typical eyelid operation. Orbit surgery and reconstructive operations are different in scope, and the right length of stay is something the surgeon, not a website, decides.

Bangkok is the city for both hospitals. See our Bangkok city page for general information about staying in the city.

The hospital decides exactly what it needs. In general, for a consultation about the eyelids or orbit, the following helps the surgeon and our team give you a useful reply.

• Photographs. Well-lit face photos taken head-on with eyes open and gaze level, plus both profiles. Avoid make-up and filters. If the concern is a drooping lid, include a photo with the eyes relaxed and one with the eyebrows held down.
• A short description. What you notice, how long it has been present, whether it is getting worse, and whether it affects your vision, comfort or daily tasks.
• Eye and medical history. Eye conditions, previous eye or eyelid surgery, glasses or contact lens use, thyroid disease, allergies, and the medicines you take, including blood thinners.
• Existing reports. Any recent eye examination, scans or letters from your own doctor, translated into English if possible.
• Your plans. When you hope to travel, how long you could stay in Bangkok, and any questions from the list above.

Please do not send photos of anyone else, and tell us if you would prefer to discuss images by phone rather than by message.
