About Bumrungrad International Hospital

Bumrungrad International Hospital (Thai: โรงพยาบาลบำรุงราษฎร์ อินเตอร์เนชั่นแนล, usually shortened to Bumrungrad) is a private hospital at 33 Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua) in the Watthana district of Bangkok. Cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery is handled by its Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center and gender-affirming surgery by its Pride Clinic; both are on the 16th floor of Building A. Oculoplastic eyelid surgery sits within the hospital's Eye Center.

The hospital dates its founding to 1980. Its own milestone list records a 200-bed facility opening on 17 September 1980 and a 580-bed hospital opening on 1 January 1997. The current factsheet gives 580 inpatient beds and 40 operating theatres, with 2 cardiac operating theatres listed separately. Bumrungrad's intensive care page gives bed counts for five units (medical; surgical and neurological; paediatric and obstetric; respiratory; coronary care), which add up to 68; that total is our sum, not a figure the hospital publishes, and neonatal intensive care is described without a bed count. JCI lists the operating company as Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited.

For someone planning cosmetic surgery, the practical point is that the plastic surgery centre is part of a general hospital rather than a stand-alone clinic. The factsheet names an Emergency Center, a Breast Center, a Women's Center and a Holistic Wound Care Center on the same site, alongside the intensive care units. How any of these would be involved in your own care is a question to put to your surgeon at consultation.

On this page we list 38 surgeons whose Bumrungrad practice we matched to the hospital's official pages, and 36 procedures that an official Bumrungrad page says the hospital offers. The facility facts were taken from Bumrungrad's own website and from the accreditors' registers, all re-read on 27 September 2026, and the provider research methodology page sets out the sourcing rules behind them. We do not publish rankings, patient reviews or prices for this hospital. To ask about a surgeon or a treatment here, request a consultation and our patient team will forward it; an appointment exists only once Bumrungrad has confirmed it.

Plastic, reconstructive, hair and gender-affirming surgery services at Bumrungrad

Bumrungrad spreads the surgery covered on this site across several departments. Knowing which one handles your procedure makes it easier to choose a surgeon and to phrase your request.

Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center (Building A, 16th floor, Counter A). The hospital describes the centre as covering cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, hair transplantation and related procedures, for both men and women. Its cosmetic list runs from abdominoplasty, eyelid surgery, forehead lift and facelift to breast augmentation, lift and reduction, gynecomastia surgery, liposuction, otoplasty, chin augmentation, facial implants and rhinoplasty, with augmentation and reduction rhinoplasty listed as separate services. Its reconstructive list includes breast reconstruction, facial bone and maxillofacial reconstruction, hand surgery, paediatric reconstruction and reconstruction after cancer, plus what the hospital calls six-pack surgery with HD liposuction. Published service hours are 8.30 to 20.00 on weekdays and 8.00 to 17.00 on Saturdays and Sundays, and physician consultations are by appointment only. The centre also offers tele-consultation with a doctor, and the hospital runs a 24-hour contact centre.

Hair transplantation belongs to the same centre. Bumrungrad names four groups of patients: men with male pattern baldness, women with thinning hair, people with scarring from an injury or a facelift, and people who want to thicken or restore eyebrows, eyelashes or a beard.

Pride Clinic (Building A, 16th floor, counter A). The Pride Clinic provides care for LGBTQ+ people ranging from gender-affirming hormone treatment to gender-affirming surgery and care after surgery. Before surgery, the clinic describes a comprehensive evaluation that looks at physical fitness for the operation and at the patient's capacity to understand its benefits and risks. Alongside the operations, it lists voice and communication training with a speech-language pathologist, voice surgery for transwomen, help with gender-affirming legal documentation, and health check-up programmes for transgender and non-binary people.

Eye Center (Building A, 18th floor). The Eye Center includes an Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgery service staffed by ophthalmologists who operate on the eyelids and the structures around the eye. That matters if your concern includes a drooping lid margin (ptosis), which in general needs muscle repair rather than skin removal alone.

ENT Center (Building A, 12th floor). The ENT Center page does not advertise cosmetic or facial plastic surgery. Two of its otolaryngologists do hold Thai board qualifications in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (see the surgeons section), and the laryngologist named for the Pride Clinic's voice care consults here.

The factsheet also names a VitalLife Skin & Aesthetic Center. This site covers surgical procedures, so its skin and aesthetic services and doctors are not listed on this page.

Surgeons at Bumrungrad International Hospital

We list 38 surgeons at Bumrungrad whose practice there we matched to the hospital's official pages. Many also operate at other hospitals, and the grouping below follows documented specialty, not any ranking. Titles follow our surgeon profiles, which sometimes carry an academic title from a university page where Bumrungrad's own listing shows only 'Dr.'. Every name links to that profile, where the verified details and their sources are shown. One caution: the procedures documented for a surgeon on our site can come from any hospital or clinic where they work, so confirm in your request that the surgeon offers your procedure at Bumrungrad.

Plastic surgeons. Each of these surgeons carries Bumrungrad's specialty label 'Plastic Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery', and most consult at the Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center on the 16th floor of Building A. Grouped by the focus their official profiles document:

Gender-affirming surgery team (Pride Clinic). Bumrungrad names Asst. Prof. Dr. Poonpissamai Suwajo and Dr. Worawat Kaewwichian among the Pride Clinic's transgender plastic surgeons; the same pages also name Dr. Krerkwit Visitsakulchai and Dr. Phonlawat Trakunngoenthai. Dr. Poonpissamai's Bumrungrad profile lists transgender surgery as a special interest, and Dr. Worawat's documented procedures are vaginoplasty and orchiectomy. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Orawee Chinthakanan, a gynecologist in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, is listed on the clinic's transmen surgery page, with vaginal hysterectomy, colporrhaphy, labiaplasty and laparoscopic neovaginal surgery among her stated specialisations. Dr. Premsuda Sombuntham, an otolaryngologist in laryngology, is the named laryngologist for the clinic's gender-affirming voice care.

A colorectal surgeon whose gender-affirming work is documented elsewhere. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Charnjiroj Thiptanakit practises at Bumrungrad as a colorectal surgeon in the Colorectal Surgery Center (Building B, 3rd floor). His consulting role in colon (sigmoid) and peritoneal vaginoplasty is documented at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, not at Bumrungrad, and the Pride Clinic pages do not name him.

Hair transplantation. Dr. Thitiwat Wirarojratchakul carries Bumrungrad's 'Plastic Hair Transplantation' label and is documented for hair, beard and eyebrow transplants. The hospital's doctor search also lists Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich under Plastic Surgery - Hair Transplantation, with a Saturday morning session at the Plastic Surgery Center, but his profile page showed no further details when we checked.

Oculoplastic surgeons (Eye Center). Dr. Nattawut Wanumkarng, Dr. Kanjana Leelapatranurak, Dr. Pornchai Mahaisavariya, Dr. Virongrong Karnsiritanont and Dr. Chalao Pongprayoon are ophthalmologists listed for Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Between them, their documented procedures cover blepharoplasty, double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction and brow lift.

Facial plastic surgeons in the ENT Center. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Weerachai Tantinikorn holds the Diploma of the Thai Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (2006), and Asst. Prof. Dhave Setabutr is a Diplomate of the Thai Subboard of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2023). Bumrungrad lists both under otolaryngology and paediatric otolaryngology rather than as cosmetic surgeons, and neither profile names specific cosmetic operations.

Clinic times. Published schedules checked on 27 September 2026 show a number of the plastic surgeons consulting in evening sessions from 17:00 on weekdays, and several on Saturday or Sunday. At that check, the Bumrungrad profiles of Prof. Nond Rojvachiranonda and Dr. Chalao Pongprayoon showed no outpatient clinic, and Dr. Visnu Lohsiriwat saw patients by appointment on request through the hospital's contact centre. Schedules change, so ask our patient team to check current times for the surgeon you want.

Bumrungrad's own doctor directory lists further names under the same specialty labels, including Dr. Tsz Yin Voravitvet, Dr. Supasid Jirawatnotai and Dr. Pavinee Annoppornchai (plastic surgery) and Dr. Patcharaporn Chandraparnik and Dr. Raveewan Choontanom (oculoplastic surgery). If you are looking for one of them at Bumrungrad, name them in your request.

Procedures available at Bumrungrad International Hospital

Each procedure below is linked because an official Bumrungrad page says the hospital offers it. The links lead to our general procedure guides. The notes under each group are general guidance, not Bumrungrad's own protocol; your surgeon's assessment decides what suits you.

Face and nose (Plastic Surgery Center): rhinoplasty, listed separately as augmentation and reduction (augmentation corresponds to our Asian rhinoplasty guide), blepharoplasty, brow lift (listed as forehead lift), facelift, otoplasty and chin augmentation. Bumrungrad's facial implants page describes implants that add prominence to the cheekbones and reshape the jaw line, which our guides cover as cheek augmentation and jaw enhancement.

Because the centre lists the two kinds of rhinoplasty as separate services, say which one you mean when you ask. In general terms, a reduction takes away a hump or narrows and refines the nose, whereas an augmentation raises the bridge or projects the tip using cartilage from the patient's own body or an implant, and the choice of material has trade-offs to talk through with the surgeon. For travel planning, our rhinoplasty guide suggests 7–10 days in Thailand, which covers splint removal and a follow-up check. For eyelids, Bumrungrad has both plastic surgeons and oculoplastic ophthalmologists; whichever you see, expect questions about dry eyes, vision and thyroid eye disease. A facelift, by contrast, usually means planning 10 to 14 days so stitches can come out and early problems can be checked before you fly.

Breast (Plastic Surgery Center): breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift and, for men, gynecomastia surgery. In general, an implant on its own does not lift a breast where the nipple sits low, so a surgeon may suggest a lift at the same time or instead. Ask which implant type and surface they recommend and why, and plan on the basis that implants are not lifetime devices.

Body (Plastic Surgery Center): liposuction, listed for the abdomen, arms and both thighs; HD liposuction, which Bumrungrad presents as six-pack surgery; and tummy tuck. Liposuction reshapes areas of fat; it is not a way to lose weight. Blood clots are a particular concern after a tummy tuck, more so than after many other cosmetic operations, so ask what the team does to prevent them, especially around the long flight home; our tummy tuck guide suggests allowing 12–14 days in Thailand.

Hair (Plastic Surgery Center): hair transplant, eyebrow transplant and beard transplant. The hospital also mentions eyelash restoration, which we do not cover with a separate guide. Hair transplants are generally day procedures under local anaesthetic; ask for the estimated number of grafts in writing.

Feminizing surgery (Pride Clinic): facial feminization surgery, tracheal shave (chondrolaryngoplasty, or thyroid cartilage shaving), gender-affirming breast augmentation, vaginoplasty, orchiectomy and voice feminization. For vaginoplasty the clinic names three techniques: penile skin graft, colon graft (colon vaginoplasty) and penile peritoneal vagina (peritoneal vaginoplasty). It does not use the term penile inversion, so ask the surgeon how their penile skin graft method relates to the techniques described in our vaginoplasty guide. This is major surgery. Our vaginoplasty guide describes a hospital stay of about a week and a total stay in Thailand of three to four weeks; after that, regular dilation is a long-term commitment to maintain depth. Facial feminization plans often include a CT scan for bone work, and a stay of about 10 to 14 days is common.

Masculinizing surgery (Pride Clinic): top surgery by double incision, periareolar or keyhole technique; phalloplasty; metoidioplasty, which the clinic says is often combined with urethral lengthening and scrotoplasty; and laparoscopic hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Which top surgery technique fits depends in general on chest size and skin elasticity, and a stay of about 10 to 14 days lets drains be removed and nipples checked. Phalloplasty is usually done in two or three operations over a year or more, so plan for more than one trip and ask how the stages would be scheduled at Bumrungrad.

Not shown as a centre service. A mommy makeover appears only in a Bumrungrad health article, not in the Plastic Surgery Center's list of services, so we do not show it as offered here; that article names Asst. Prof. Dr. Seree Iamphongsai as a related doctor, and you can name him in your request if you want to ask about it. If you would like several procedures combined, ask the surgeon whether they would do them together or in stages.

Accreditation and patient safety

We checked each accreditor's own database on 27 September 2026. This is what they showed:

  • Joint Commission International (JCI), Hospital Program: Accredited. The JCI directory lists Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited, 33 Sukhumvit 3, Bangkok, with an effective date of 2 February 2002 and no expiry date. That date is the first accreditation; the hospital's factsheet states it was re-accredited in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023.
  • JCI Clinical Care Program Certification, Breast Cancer: Certified, effective 30 May 2025.
  • JCI Clinical Care Program Certification, Heart Failure: Certified, effective 5 May 2022. The hospital's factsheet states the programme was re-certified in 2025.
  • HA Thailand (Healthcare Accreditation Institute): Accredited. The HA register shows โรงพยาบาลบำรุงราษฎร์ อินเตอร์เนชั่นแนล, a private hospital, holding a renewed Advanced Hospital Accreditation (code Re AHA) valid from 23 May 2025 until 22 May 2029.
  • Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA): Accredited under its Hospital Accreditation with Excellence for Medical Travel programme since 20 September 2017, with no expiry date shown. The hospital's factsheet states re-accreditation in 2021 and 2024.

How to read these records. An accreditation survey looks at how the whole hospital runs, including its safety, infection-prevention and quality processes, as they stood when the surveyors visited. None of these records is specific to plastic or gender-affirming surgery: the two JCI certifications cover breast cancer and heart failure programmes, not cosmetic procedures, and the GHA programme, as its name says, looks at medical travel. No accreditation is a promise about the result of an individual operation.

A hospital's accreditation also tells you nothing about an individual surgeon. The Medical Council of Thailand keeps a public register in which a doctor's licence can be looked up, and at consultation it is reasonable to ask who will give the anaesthetic, where you will recover, and how Bumrungrad would handle a complication that needed a return to theatre or extra nights. Our surgeon profiles show what we could verify for each doctor listed above.

Accreditation assesses a facility's systems, such as infection control and patient safety processes, at the time of the survey. It is not a promise of any individual outcome.

In general, before you book

  • Check your surgeon's licence on the Medical Council of Thailand register.
  • Ask where the operation will take place and who gives the anaesthetic.
  • Ask what happens if you need extra care or a longer stay after surgery.
  • Get the treatment plan, what the price includes and the follow-up arrangements in writing.

International patient services

The services below are ones Bumrungrad states that it provides. The hospital runs them, separately from our patient team, and availability is for the hospital to confirm.

  • Medical Coordination Office (Building A, 10th floor): a complimentary service for international patients, staffed by coordination physicians and nurses. Before you arrive they can review medical records, give estimated prices, arrange appointments and telemedicine, and deal with medical transport, insurers and embassies. They also help during your stay, and after discharge they prepare medical reports and fit-to-fly documents and help with follow-up.
  • Language support: the About page says nearly all Bumrungrad doctors speak English, and the factsheet mentions more than 130 interpreters. The hospital lists language support in Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Bahasa Indonesia, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Mongolian, Myanmar (Burmese), Nepali, Russian, Urdu and Vietnamese. Danish, Finnish, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Persian, Sign Language, Sinhala, Spanish and Turkish are available on special request, subject to availability.
  • Cultural Support Officers and Cultural Helpdesks for medical travellers whose preferred language is not English, offering coordination, language support, escorts and concierge help. The helpdesks are in the 10th floor Sky Lobby of the BI Clinic Building, open 08:00 to 18:00.
  • Airport: a hospital desk at Suvarnabhumi Airport (International Arrival Hall, Exit C, Gate 9, open daily 07.00 to 23.00), a plane-to-hospital meeting service, and a free shuttle van from the airport to the hospital or nearby hotels, departing hourly subject to passenger numbers.
  • Visas, travel and embassies: a visa extension service coordinated with the Bangkok Immigration Office for patients and accompanying persons, a Business Center that books hotels, domestic and international flights, transport and local tours, and embassy assistance and international insurance coordination.
  • Offices abroad: International Referral Offices in 22 locations (Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Chad, China, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kenya, Kuwait, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sudan, UAE and Vietnam) and a virtual office.
  • Prayer: a Muslim prayer room with capacity for 300 people.

Two practical points for cosmetic and gender-affirming patients. First, ask for your medical report and operation notes in English before you leave, because a doctor at home will need them if a question comes up after you return. Second, a price from the coordination office is an estimate: in general, ask for an itemised written quote that states what it includes, such as hospital nights, garments, follow-up visits and how complications would be handled.

Location

33 Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua), Wattana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

District
Watthana

Bumrungrad International Hospital's official address is 33 Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua), Wattana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand (Thai: 33 สุขุมวิท 3 (ซอยนานาเหนือ) เขตวัฒนา กรุงเทพมหานคร 10110). The hospital spells the district Wattana; it is the same district often written Watthana. It lies on Soi 3, a side street of Sukhumvit Road in central Bangkok.

Getting there. The hospital runs a complimentary shuttle van from the BTS Skytrain stations Nana and Phrom Phong, seven days a week, and a free shuttle van from Suvarnabhumi International Airport to the hospital or nearby hotels, leaving hourly subject to passenger numbers. The hospital's Map, Directions & Taxi Info page has its map and taxi information.

Finding your way inside. Bumrungrad is spread over several buildings, so note where your appointment is:

  • Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Center and Pride Clinic: Building A, 16th floor (counter A)
  • Eye Center, including oculoplastic surgery: Building A, 18th floor
  • ENT Center: Building A, 12th floor
  • Medical Coordination Office: Building A, 10th floor
  • Cultural Helpdesks: 10th floor Sky Lobby, BI Clinic Building
  • Women's Center, where Assoc. Prof. Dr. Orawee Chinthakanan also holds clinics: Building B, 2nd floor
  • Colorectal Surgery Center: Building B, 3rd floor

Where to stay. In general, patients recovering from surgery are advised to stay near the hospital, so that follow-up visits, stitch removal and drain checks do not involve long journeys. The hospital's Business Center can book hotels and its airport shuttle serves nearby hotels; we do not recommend particular hotels. See our Bangkok guide for other hospitals and clinics in the city.

How to book at Bumrungrad International Hospital

Bumrungrad can be contacted directly through its own channels. If you would rather have help choosing a surgeon or preparing what you send, our patient team can take your request to the hospital. The steps:

  1. Send a request. Use the Bumrungrad request form, or the request button on a surgeon's profile, such as the one that lets you request a consultation with Asst. Prof. Dr. Poonpissamai Suwajo at the Pride Clinic. The form asks what you want: an online (video) consultation before travelling, a face-to-face consultation in Bangkok, or surgery. If you are unsure whom to see, ask to be matched with a suitable surgeon.
  2. Our patient team reviews it. We read your request, may ask for photos or details that are missing, and check that the surgeon you chose is documented for your procedure.
  3. We pass it to the hospital. Your request, questions and photos go to Bumrungrad for the surgeon or department you chose: the Plastic Surgery Center for cosmetic surgery and hair transplants, the Pride Clinic for gender-affirming surgery, or an oculoplastic surgeon in the Eye Center if you prefer one for eyelid surgery.
  4. The hospital confirms. A date and time are fixed only when Bumrungrad confirms them. For surgery, the surgeon assesses you before any operation goes ahead, and the final plan, price and dates are set by the hospital, not by us.

Requests are free. We do not set Bumrungrad's prices, give medical advice or promise that a particular surgeon will accept your case. The hospital's own Medical Coordination Office remains your contact for medical records, fit-to-fly letters and follow-up arranged by the hospital.

What to send with a Bumrungrad consultation request

A complete first message saves a round of questions. In general, include:

  • About you: age, country of residence, height and weight, and the dates or window in which you can travel.
  • Your goal: the procedure or concern, what you would like to change, and whether you have a Bumrungrad surgeon in mind or would like to be matched.
  • Health: medical conditions, all medicines and supplements (including blood thinners), allergies, smoking or nicotine use, and any previous surgery or problems with anaesthesia.
  • Earlier surgery in the same area: operation notes, implant details and dates if you have them. These matter for revision nose surgery, breast implant surgery and repeat hair transplants.

Photos by procedure area. Use neutral light, a plain background and no filters or make-up where possible:

  • *Nose:* front, both sides and the base of the nose from below.
  • *Eyelids and brow:* a close front view with eyes open and looking straight ahead, plus both sides. Tell us about any glaucoma, dry-eye symptoms or thyroid eye disease.
  • *Face, chin, cheeks or jaw:* front, both sides and angled views, with the face relaxed.
  • *Breast, chest or body:* front and side views of the area. For liposuction or a tummy tuck, add whether your weight is stable and whether you plan further pregnancies.
  • *Hair, eyebrows or beard:* the hairline, the top and crown, and the donor area on the back and sides of your scalp, or the brow or beard area, with hair dry.

Pride Clinic requests (gender-affirming surgery) should also include:

  • any assessment or referral letters you already have, and your history of hormone therapy;
  • for vaginoplasty, whether you have had hair removal on the relevant area, since many surgeons recommend or require it and it can take months;
  • for phalloplasty, whether you have had a hysterectomy and which donor site (forearm or thigh) you are leaning towards;
  • for facial feminization, any earlier facial or jaw surgery, and whether you have a recent CT scan;
  • for voice feminization, any voice therapy you have had.

The Pride Clinic describes a comprehensive evaluation before surgery covering your physical fitness and your understanding of the benefits and risks. What you send helps the team prepare but does not replace that evaluation, and requirements differ between surgeons, so ask exactly which documents Bumrungrad needs for your procedure.

Bumrungrad International Hospital is listed for information. A listing is not an endorsement or a recommendation, and no provider pays to be listed or to appear higher.

HA Thailand showed Advanced Hospital re-accreditation valid from 23 May 2025 to 22 May 2029, and GHA showed accreditation since 20 September 2017. Accreditation covers hospital systems, not individual surgeons or outcomes.

Can your team arrange a consultation at Bumrungrad for me?

We can pass a request on for you.

Is a video consultation with a Bumrungrad surgeon possible before I fly?

Bumrungrad's Plastic Surgery Center says it offers tele-consultation with a doctor, and its Medical Coordination Office arranges telemedicine for international patients. Choose the online option in your request if you want one. Bear in mind that advice based on photos is provisional: in general, the surgeon settles the plan only after examining you in Bangkok.

Who performs eyelid surgery at Bumrungrad: plastic surgeons or eye specialists?

Both. Plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Center perform blepharoplasty, and the Eye Center has ophthalmologists listed for Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgery (five of them are on our list), with documented work that includes ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery. Whichever you see, ask them to check for ptosis, which needs muscle repair rather than skin removal alone.

Does Bumrungrad offer hair transplants?

Yes. Hair transplantation is part of the Plastic Surgery Center, which lists treatment for male pattern baldness, thinning hair in women, scarring after an injury or a facelift, and eyebrow, eyelash and beard restoration. Dr. Thitiwat Wirarojratchakul is the hair transplant surgeon on our list for Bumrungrad.
