Dr. Thana Chueabundit

Dr. Thana Chueabundit is named in the staff listing of Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, a private hospital at 301 Sukhumvit Road in Banglamung, Chonburi. The entry lists plastic surgery as the specialty and puts the doctor in the hospital's combined skin and plastic surgery unit. It also gives English and Thai as working languages and prints a medical licence number.

This page gathers those documented facts in one place and explains how our patient team can set up a consultation. All surgeon-specific statements rest on the hospital's own entry; our approach to collecting and checking such material is described in how we research providers.

There is a gap to be honest about. The entry names no individual operations, no areas of special interest and no professional societies. We therefore do not attribute any particular operation to Dr. Chueabundit. Settling which procedures this doctor actually carries out is a job for the consultation stage, and our team is able to raise it with the hospital ahead of any travel plans.

Two qualifications are recorded in the hospital entry. The first is a Doctor of Medicine from Khon Kaen University in Thailand, dated 2002. The second is plastic surgery training completed at Mahidol University, also in Thailand, dated 2011.

In plain terms, that means a medical degree followed by specialist surgical training at a Thai university. No fellowship, board certificate or study abroad is mentioned, and we add none of our own.

Next to the name the hospital prints licence number 28210. The licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th, and our patient team can help you confirm it before you travel. If a verified licence matters to you, ask our team to assist, or search the register by hand.

The only post on record is that of plastic surgeon at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. The hospital describes the plastic surgery centre as open every day of the week between eight in the morning and five in the afternoon. Skin services are on the first floor and plastic surgery on the second floor of building D.

The entry says nothing about when this doctor joined, where else they have worked, whether they teach, or how long they have been operating. We do not fill those gaps with estimates.

Because the doctor's entry lists no operations, there is no surgeon-level list to show. The nearest thing available belongs to the centre. Its page refers to nostril (alar) reduction, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction, eyelid surgery, facelift and breast augmentation, along with FUE hair transplants and skin-cancer surgery. Treat that as a description of the department's offer, not as a record of one individual's caseload.

Should one of those operations be what you are researching, our guides cover the basics, who tends to consider it, and the risks: breast augmentation, facelift, blepharoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast reduction, breast lift and alar reduction. Those guides are general and say nothing about this surgeon's own methods.

In your first message, name the operation you are weighing and ask us to check whether Dr. Chueabundit is the person who would perform it at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. Please do not take that for granted.

The same few subjects are worth raising with any surgeon, whatever the operation. Questions to consider:

• Which operations fill most of the surgeon's schedule, and what would they advise in your situation, including advising against surgery?
• Who forms the rest of the operating team, and where exactly will the procedure take place?
• What risks apply to you in particular, how long does healing take, and for how many days must you stay in Thailand before a flight is safe?
• What follow-up can you get after returning home, and how would a problem be dealt with from abroad?
• What is covered by the price you are quoted, and which items would be billed on top?

Bring your health history in writing, with the medicines you take and any allergies. Our procedure guides describe usual recovery and risks in general terms. Fitness for any operation is for the surgeon to decide, following a personal examination, and their view takes precedence over any guide.

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya describes an international centre with interpreters for more than 20 languages, and puts its bed count at 400. The services it advertises to patients from abroad include insurance support, repatriation, hotel reservations, liaison with embassies, immigration assistance, booking appointments ahead of arrival, pick-up from the airport by its own staff to a designated hotel, and an around-the-clock service that sends a doctor to a patient's hotel room.

On the doctor's entry the languages are English and Thai. When your appointment is arranged, confirm how communication will work, especially if you want an interpreter present while consent forms and aftercare instructions are explained.

No current, dated international accreditation for the hospital could be confirmed from the sources we checked, so we state none.

Writing a complete first message spares you a back-and-forth. Cover as many of these as you can:

• A sentence or two on what you hope to change or want advice about.
• Unfiltered pictures of the area taken in good light, straight on and from each side.
• Age, height, weight and any earlier surgery in the same region.
• Regular medication, allergies, smoking habits and long-term health conditions.
• Rough dates for the trip, and the longest you could remain in Pattaya.

Share only what you feel comfortable with. If more detail is needed, the team will ask.
