Bangkok Hospital Siriroj

Bangkok Hospital Siriroj is a private general hospital in Mueang Phuket, the central district of Phuket island in southern Thailand. The hospital's history page dates its opening to 1982. Its earlier names include Siriroj International Hospital and, separately, Phuket International Hospital; older web pages may use either. It is one of the hospitals in the Bangkok Hospital group, which is part of BDMS.

For someone researching cosmetic, plastic or gender-affirming surgery, the department to look at is the plastic surgery service. The hospital's centres-and-clinics list shows the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute (PPSI) under Surgery, and an Aesthetic & Anti-aging area that brings plastic surgery together with a skin and cosmetic centre. The same list shows departments a surgical patient may depend on if something needs hospital-level care: an intensive care unit, women's and children's services, eye, ear, nose and throat care, dental care and hemodialysis.

This page is our independent summary of two things: what Bangkok Hospital Siriroj publishes about itself, and what the accreditor's public directory shows. It is not a ranking or an endorsement. Where the hospital does not publish a fact, such as the number of beds, operating rooms or intensive care beds, we say so instead of guessing. You can read how we gather and check this information on our provider research methodology page.

Our patient team handles enquiries for this hospital through the consultation form for Bangkok Hospital Siriroj; only the hospital itself can confirm an appointment.

The hospital's page for the Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute calls it an award-winning institute inside Bangkok Hospital Siriroj and says its plastic surgery patients are mostly from abroad. The page does not name the award or the body that gave it, so treat it purely as the hospital's self-description.

The institute's overview lists these service groups:

• Gender affirmation surgery
• Feminine wellness and intimate surgery
• Weight-loss and metabolic surgery
• Body contouring
• Breast surgery
• Facial plastic surgery

In practice, a patient can bring three kinds of question here. The first is cosmetic, about how the face, breasts or body look. The second is reconstructive or functional, where the aim is to restore shape or ease symptoms, for example after an earlier operation or when large breasts cause discomfort. The third is gender-affirming care, which we describe in general terms in our gender-affirming surgery section. The hospital names gender affirmation surgery as a group but does not itemise the operations under it. From public sources we therefore cannot say which gender-affirming operations are done at this hospital or which surgeon does them. If this is your route, ask in writing, before you travel, exactly which operation and which surgeon.

Look for the institute in Building 5, 4th floor; the page gives its hours as 08.00 to 16.00 every day. The published contacts are telephone 076-361-888, extension 3418 or 3419, and info@phuketpsi.com. PPSI is a separate brand that is housed in the hospital building, and some surgeons appear under both names. We describe it on its own page: Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute.

Two cautions apply. A service group on a hospital page shows that the service exists, not that each surgeon performs every operation under it. The useful question is who would operate on you and how often they do your particular procedure; our surgeon profiles list only what each surgeon is documented to perform. Second, weight-loss and metabolic surgery is a different field from body contouring. If weight loss is your goal, the right conversation is with a bariatric or metabolic team, which is not the same as a cosmetic consultation, and a cosmetic surgeon at the hospital is not automatically the person you would see.

The hospital's online doctor directory lists the plastic and facial plastic surgeons below, and each has a profile on our site. We read the list from the hospital's pages. It is not a ranking, and a surgeon named here may also work at other hospitals or clinics. We also used specialty searches to catch other names beyond the directory. If a surgeon you are looking for is missing, ask our patient team.

Plastic surgery

• Dr. Karn Wongkawinwoot, plastic surgery
• Dr. Pongsatorn Sanguanchua, listed as plastic surgery and surgery
• Dr. Patnapa Tosuksri, plastic surgery
• Dr. Singto Siriwiroj, plastic surgery
• Dr. Kittipat Chonsuwat, plastic surgery
• Dr. Nattaphong Loktharmmarak, plastic surgery
• Dr. Narupon Rojanapithayakorn, plastic surgery
• Dr. Parichart Ritchim, plastic surgery
• Dr. Piyapas Pichaichanarong, listed as plastic surgery and surgery
• Dr. Prueksapong Panomchaisawang, plastic surgery
• Dr. Veerawat Tirananmongkol, listed as plastic surgery and surgery
• Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn, plastic surgery

Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery

• Dr. Thanaphorn Oonjitti, whose listing combines plastic surgery with facial plastic and reconstructive work
• Assoc. Prof. Dr. Peerapun Jaroencharsri, listed as otolaryngology and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery

The institute's own page also names Dr. Thakoon Poonthananiwatkul, under Surgery rather than plastic surgery. His profile is at /doctor/thakoon-poonthananiwatkul/. We mention him so that the list above is not read as the institute's whole team. The hospital directory also includes ear, nose and throat, ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial and dermatology doctors, who fall outside this page.

Profiles differ in depth, on purpose. Where a surgeon's own profile documents particular procedures we show them, and where only a specialty label is published we attach nothing. The documented lists we hold include the following:

• Dr. Veerawat Tirananmongkol: breast, eyelid, nose, ear, face and body procedures, the widest list among these surgeons.
• Dr. Piyapas Pichaichanarong: hair transplantation alongside facial, breast and body procedures.
• Dr. Pongsatorn Sanguanchua: breast surgery, liposuction and Brazilian butt lift.
• Dr. Singto Siriwiroj: eyelid surgery, breast surgery, gynecomastia surgery and vaginoplasty.
• Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn: breast surgery and vaginoplasty.
• Dr. Nattaphong Loktharmmarak: facelift, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and liposuction.
• Dr. Narupon Rojanapithayakorn: breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck and liposuction.

For most of the other doctors in the directory, the hospital gives a specialty label and no operations. A short profile therefore reflects how little is published; it says nothing about the surgeon's ability.

In general, at a hospital with many surgeons, a list of names helps less than direct answers to a few questions. How often does the surgeon do your specific operation? Will they look at your own photographs and tell you plainly what is realistic? Who handles your aftercare? What is the plan if you need a second operation? We can forward such questions to the surgeon's office on your behalf.

The institute's overview names the procedures below, and we have matched each to a guide on this site. Being on the list tells you the hospital says the service is offered. It does not tell you which surgeon does it or how often. What follows is general information that agrees with our procedure pages; it says nothing about outcomes here.

Face and neck

• Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose and can often be planned together with breathing improvement. It is usually done under general anaesthesia, and our guide suggests allowing 7 to 10 days in Thailand.
• Blepharoplasty is surgery on the upper or lower eyelids. Local anaesthesia with sedation is common for it, with general anaesthesia used in some cases, and our guide suggests 5 to 7 days in Thailand.
• Facelift lifts the tissue beneath the skin of the jowls and neck and trims surplus skin. Our guide suggests allowing 10 to 14 days.
• Brow lift, chin augmentation, cheek augmentation, otoplasty (ear surgery) and facial fat grafting complete the facial group.

Breast

• Breast augmentation is for patients who want fuller breasts or a different contour. Implants are the usual route, and the patient's own fat is a less common alternative. Our guide puts a typical trip at 7 to 10 days.
• Breast reduction, breast lift and breast implant removal are also listed. Implant removal deserves a consultation of its own, especially if you are unsure what type of implant you have or how old it is.

Body contouring

• Tummy tuck takes surplus skin and fat off the lower abdomen, and commonly draws together muscles that have drifted apart. People often consider it after pregnancy or major weight loss, and our guide suggests about 12 to 14 days in Thailand.
• Liposuction and VASER liposuction take fat from chosen areas. They shape the body; they are not weight-loss treatments.
• Buttock implants, body lift, arm lift and thigh lift are also named.

Intimate and feminine wellness

• Labiaplasty is the one named procedure under this heading, which the hospital pairs with feminine wellness and intimate surgery.

Gender affirmation

The hospital names gender affirmation surgery as a group, but the page we read lists no individual operations. For general background see our gender-affirming surgery guides.

The hospital's list leaves out some procedures that patients often search for, such as hair transplantation and Brazilian butt lift. A few surgeon profiles on our site do document them, for example hair transplantation for Dr. Piyapas Pichaichanarong and Brazilian butt lift for Dr. Pongsatorn Sanguanchua. Those statements belong to the surgeon's own profile, not to the hospital's service list.

Treat the list as a source of questions for your consultation. For any operation you are considering, ask who would perform it, what anaesthesia is planned, how long you would be an inpatient, how long you must stay in Phuket before flying, and what follow-up is on offer after you get home.

On 2 October 2026 we looked up the Joint Commission International (JCI) public directory of accredited organisations. It lists Bangkok Hospital Siriroj under the Hospital Program as accredited, with IHCO ID 60000192 and an effective date of 15 December 2012. The entry shows no expiry date, so that source does not tell us when the present accreditation cycle ends. Its own website makes the same claim of JCI accreditation.

What this does and does not mean:

• It describes the hospital as an organisation, assessed against JCI's hospital standards. It does not assess any one surgeon and does not predict the result of any operation.
• It does not show that the plastic surgery service is accredited separately, and it says nothing about which professional societies a surgeon belongs to. Credentials appear on each surgeon's own profile.
• Status can change. If it matters to your decision, look at the JCI directory yourself on the day you book and ask the hospital for its current certificate.

We list no other accreditation for this hospital. That means none has been confirmed by us, not that none exists.

The institute reports that foreigners make up most of its plastic surgery caseload, which fits Phuket's role as a tourist and expatriate destination. Beyond that, the pages we read make no mention of an international patient desk, an interpreter service, airport pick-ups, help with accommodation or any other service aimed at overseas patients, and they give no list of the languages staff speak. We therefore claim none of these. Please confirm language support for your appointment in advance.

It helps to keep two things apart:

• What the hospital provides. From public pages, that is the surgical service, the hospital's facilities and the contact details above. Anything further, such as English-language medical records, a discharge summary for your doctor at home, interpreter availability, payment methods, deposits or cancellation terms, should be requested from the hospital and confirmed in writing.
• What our patient team does. We help you prepare and send a consultation request, pass your photos and questions to the hospital, ask about the surgeon's availability and relay the replies. We are an independent booking and information platform. We do not run the hospital or set its prices, and a request is not a confirmed appointment.

In general, set travel dates around the operation, not the other way about. Our procedure guides each give a typical stay, from about a week for eyelid surgery to roughly two weeks for a tummy tuck, and your surgeon decides the real timing for you. Raise flying early, long-haul flights especially, in your consultation. Ask too which warning signs should send you to a doctor and whom to contact if they appear after you have left Phuket.

Phuket tempts many people to add a beach holiday. Surgeons commonly advise against strong sun, swimming and hard exercise during early recovery, so save the beach for after your surgeon has cleared you.

Chalermprakiat Ror 9 Road is the street and 44 is the hospital's number on it; the locality is Wichit, in Mueang Phuket District, and the postcode is 83000. Its map page puts it at about 7.898 north and 98.368 east. This is the Wichit area on the Phuket Town side of the island, not a beachfront site, so patients who want to stay by the sea will travel between their accommodation and the hospital.

Per the hospital's page, the plastic surgery institute is on the 4th floor of Building 5 in the hospital grounds. Ask when you first make contact which entrance and floor to use, since a hospital this size has several buildings.

The hospital does not publish transfer times, shuttle details or parking information on the pages we read, so we quote none. As general planning advice, Phuket has its own international airport and most overseas visitors arrive through it, directly or by way of Bangkok. A quiet, clean room near the hospital, with easy access to food and, if possible, a bathroom with handrails, makes the early follow-up visits easier. Our Phuket city page has more on the area.

The separately listed Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute shares this hospital building.

Start with the consultation request form for Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, or open the profile of a particular surgeon and ask there, for example Dr. Veerawat Tirananmongkol or Dr. Singto Siriwiroj. The usual steps are:

• You send a request. Name the procedure you are interested in, your country, rough dates and any preferred surgeon. You can also say that you would like to begin with an online consultation.
• Our patient team reviews it. We look at which listed surgeons document your procedure and pass your details and photos to the hospital.
• The hospital replies. It confirms availability and the next steps; until it does, nothing is reserved.
• You decide. You are under no obligation, and we encourage you to compare more than one surgeon or provider.

You may instead contact the plastic surgery institute directly by the telephone number and email address on its page. That is a perfectly reasonable choice. Our aim is to make the first steps easier, not to stand between you and the hospital.

Because this is a medical decision, an early exchange of messages is not a clinical opinion. A surgeon can judge whether an operation suits you only after assessing your health, history and goals, which may happen by video or in person.

A well-prepared first request saves days of messages. In general, gather the following:

• Your goal in plain words. For example a narrower nose bridge, lifted heavy eyelids, a different breast size or fat removed from one area. Pictures of results you admire help the discussion, but an image cannot predict your own result.
• Clear photographs. Use daylight, a plain background and no heavy make-up. For the face, send front and both side views; for breast or body photos, include front, side and back. The patient team will ask if more angles are needed.
• Your health history. Past operations, what you take regularly (supplements included), allergies, nicotine use in any form, and illnesses such as diabetes, raised blood pressure, clotting disorders or autoimmune disease. Surgeons commonly ask about nicotine because it slows healing.
• Records of earlier surgery. If you are considering a revision or implant removal, bring operation notes, the implant type and date, and the previous surgeon's name where you have it. The type and age of implants shape the plan for removal.
• Pregnancy plans and weight history. These matter for breast and tummy-tuck surgery, because a later pregnancy or a large change in weight can alter a result.
• Your travel window. The dates you can be in Phuket and the day you must fly home, so that the plan fits the time the operation needs.
• Your questions. Who will operate, what anaesthesia is planned, how long the hospital stay is, what a quote includes, what aftercare looks like at home and who deals with problems or a revision.

For a gender-affirming enquiry, add the care you have received so far, any letters or assessments you hold, and exactly which operation you are asking about, since the hospital's public pages do not set out individual procedures.

Send only what is needed. Photos and records are sensitive; we use them to prepare your request and share them with the hospital for that purpose.
