Dr Burin disaster --> Dr Kamol disaster --> finally got sorted after 4 year nightmare
Notes: I wouldn't trust Dr Burin to do anything other than PI SRS. My experience is that Burin suffers a lot of internal fear - which isn't ideal in a surgeon - as if surgery isn't going to plan - he likely can't keep a cool head.
Kamol hospital is past it's sell-by date imo, mainly because there's a very strange thing going on between Kamol and his wife Siripen (the supposed manager of the hospital). I was wondering if they're separated but both want to keep ownership/position. This might explain the atrocious admin and communication which goes on between Kamol and the admin side of the hospital. Plus Siripen just goes absent without leave for weeks/months at a time. I really felt I was having to deal with a person who is both a sadist, and someone who manifests symptoms of serious mental health issues. I communicated my experience of both of these to her.
For instance, the pre-surgery consultation with Kamol was turned into a farce because Siripen hadn't advised Kamol that I'd wired approx 16k USD rather than the 5k USD he had admin notes for. So Kamol spent most of the time focusing on what I couldn't have done, because of me only paying 5k. And he asked me to pay more! I even wondered if it was a common setup they play on patients, as I read of other trans girls experiencing similar.
It's vital to confirm who will actually be doing the surgery. SRS is way too important to have a trainee working on a trans girl (at least without such being clear up front).
I was treated so poorly by Burin and Kamol - just an utter disgrace.
When I turned up at PAI, after traveling to the other side of the world - within the first five minutes, the admin staff (who are real sneaks and backstabbers imo) informed me that Sutin who I'd booked wasn't available and that not to worry, Dr Burin was an amazing surgeon (sic).
The point being, they could have written me this before I left my home country - as they had known for weeks. rather without question they purposefully set me up.
I hope my managing to sort things after such disasters, proves useful for any other trans girls facing similar issues.
If I was starting again, I would keep it simple with PI SRS, and see how it goes.
