Destination Beauty Avis 

From airport pick-up to drop-off on the way home, the team were responsive, caring and reassuring every step of the way. Like most people, I was wary about having surgery overseas, especially as I chose to travel alone without a support person. In hindsight, I can honestly say I had one of the best “holidays” I’ve ever had.

I won’t downplay the pain of the first few days of surgery recovery, but what I will remember most are the friendships I made with other patients and the relaxing stay at the hotel after leaving hospital. The hotel staff were amazing, and the DB team stayed in constant contact to check on my wellbeing.

Having the clinic onsite at the hotel three days a week was incredibly reassuring, and the afternoon teas on alternate days were a lovely way to bring patients together.

I felt cared for, supported and never alone. I’m so glad I chose Destination Beauty.

Very professional organisation. Meticulous planning and email communication throughout the whole process! The DB Admin and hotel staff are just wonderful! Very helpful, supportive and typical Thai hospitality!

The Somerset Park Hotel in Bangkok (where all their patients stay), pre and post-surgery is perfectly located to health spas, great cafes and high quality restaurants etc., are all within short walking distances.

Destination Beauty offer free bus shuttle service 24/7 to and from the airport and for all hospital visits for pre and post-operation procedures and reviews.

Once in hospital, the nursing staff are professional, diligent and ensure that your pain management is well-looked after.

The only issue that stopped me from giving them 5 stars is the poor English of the hospital Thai nursing staff! They often imply that they understand what you want and your needs (because they’re so polite), but the language barrier, I believe, is a real issue and caused many other patients a negative experience. The most worrisome part of both my surgeries came from being in the ICU, post-op. No 1:1 patient care, inadequate staff ratio and the nurses struggled with even the most basic English translations!

This is my second cosmetic surgery in 18 months and I would still highly recommend using Destination Beauty for the overall experience, professionalism, skill of my surgeon and value for money!

I cannot speak highly enough of my entire experience with Destination Beauty.

From the moment I arrived, everything was organised seamlessly. The hospital was modern, clean, professional, and made me feel comfortable and safe throughout my stay. The nursing staff were absolutely incredible—kind, attentive, compassionate, and always willing to help with a smile. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their support during recovery made such a difference.

The hotel accommodation was excellent and perfectly suited for post-surgery recovery. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. Their attention to detail and genuine care made me feel valued and supported every step of the way.

A special thank you to my surgeon, Dr Angkana. Her skill, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly remarkable. The quality of her work has exceeded my expectations, and her stitch work is absolutely beautiful—neat, precise, and already healing exceptionally well. She took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel confident and reassured throughout the entire process.

I underwent a breast lift and augmentation along with an extended tummy tuck, and I am already thrilled with my results. The care I received from start to finish has been outstanding.

If you’re considering surgery overseas, I would highly recommend Destination Beauty. The level of care, professionalism, communication, and support I received was second to none. Thank you to everyone involved for making this such a positive and life-changing experience.

❤️ I am beyond grateful and couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I can not fault the service and care i got from everyone involved.
I was treated like a vip. The nurses were like mums, fussing over me. The hotel was exceptional. The staff are beautiful people. The doorman treated me like i was special.
If i had any concerns after leaving the hospital, there was always help available.
The hospital food could be like the hotel food.
I cant wait to come back.
Thankyou.

The entire process from start to finish was seamless and perfectly executed by the Destination Beauty team. The admin staff, nurses and Dr Ring are so professional, attentive and empathetic. I’m ecstatic with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Destination Beauty to anyone considering a face lift.

​I had a fantastic experience with Destination Beauty! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. The location is incredibly convenient and pristine, and the overall service was absolutely seamless. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!

Destination beauty really looked after me before, during and after my surgery. The nurses were very attentive. I'm super happy with my results and would highly recommend my Surgeon, Dr Angkana. The hotel that was included in the package was lovely and very accommodating.

The whole experience from beginning to end was really good , and I’m very happy with results 😊

The nursing staff were incredible. I spent 7 nights in hospital and every time I pressed the buzzer they were in my room within minutes. The best care I have ever received.

The process from research to booking to completion of surgery was very clear, smooth and turned out exactly as planned. I couldn't be happier with the surgery process, results or the hospital and hotel stay.

Traveling to Thailand for surgery might sound daunting, but choosing Destination Beauty and Dr. Ring was the best decision I ever made for myself. After years of yo-yo dieting, pre- and post-menopause, and the toll of a stressful 24/7 executive career, my face and body showed the exhaustion. I used to joke that I needed someone to start at my ankles and just pull everything up—and Dr. Ring actually made it happen! The cost was a fraction of the $150,000+ quotes I received in Australia, which didn't even include proper aftercare.

From my very first message, the process was seamless and incredibly secure. My lovely rep, Nan, coordinated everything with the surgical team. When my support person and I arrived in Bangkok, we were completely pampered. The inclusive package covered a gorgeous, spacious apartment at the Somerset Hotel, all transport, a massive 16-night hospital stay, and all post-op care. The entire experience felt like being looked after by an extended family. From Donut holding my hand during my pre-op ECG, to Nurse Mama Noi giving me a completely painless IV, to the amazing Ward 10 nurses who showered me and changed my linens daily, the care was absolutely unmatched.

Dr. Ring is a master at what he does. He spent a full hour with me before surgery mapping out my wish list across three separate procedures, explaining every detail. He and the medical team monitored my healing daily, both in the hospital and during my 18-night hotel recovery. A year later, my incision lines are so thin they have completely vanished. I cannot recommend Dr. Ring and Destination Beauty enough to anyone looking for a safe, affordable, and world-class body transformation.

Second time going through Destination Beauty in Thailand and once again I couldn’t be happier with my experience. My first surgery was a tummy tuck, and this time I went back for a lift and implants — and honestly, the whole experience has been incredible both times.

Everything was handled so professionally from start to finish. The team made me feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for the entire journey. The communication, hospital care, recovery support, and results have all exceeded my expectations.

Thailand itself is amazing and I’m so glad I trusted Destination Beauty again. Feeling so happy with my results and so grateful for the care I received 🖤

From my first correspondence with Shay my entire experience with Destination Beauty has been flawless. No question went unanswered. I was offered a place with a female surgeon which was my preference, especially after I saw the before and after photos of Dr Angkana’s patients.

I’m so happy with my results. Dr Angkana was very upfront about what my results would look like given my weight loss and understood that I still wanted to keep the softness of my curves while addressing the laxity of my tummy & breasts. Overall i felt comforted that she understood my expectations to feel like a mum in my 40s again, instead of feeling like my body had aged before its time.

The nursing team at Samitivej Thonburi level 11 were so loving, respectful and encouraging - nothing was too much to ask. I had such a great experience, we had lots of laughs during the easy times and comfort during the harder times when I missed my family

The DB admin team always checked in, even when i just went down to the office just to go visit other patients or keep them company during routine check ins

Overall DB went the extra mile at every step- visiting in hospital, at afternoon tea, checking in by phone or organising nurse visits. Brey and Vinny were always on hand with kind words & encouragement. It was even a great surprise to meet Shay at afternoon tea! Truly personalised service from start to finish.

The Somerset Hotel was also great. Beautiful grounds, close to everything you need post-op and just the sweetest staff. Thanks Kailin for taking care of me!
I already miss the gorgeous koi ponds and the gorgeous gardens.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my time with DB, my surgery, results or my time in the beautiful kingdom of Thailand.

Positives - From the moment I arrived, everything was organised so professionally — airport pick up, accommodation, hospital transfers and post-op care all ran so smoothly.

Dr Eddy, was amazing. He made me feel comfortable and confident from the start, and I’m so happy with my results. The hospital staff and nurses were kind and caring throughout my recovery.

Negatives - After my operation I was placed in ICU and when I woke up I experienced a panic attack and genuinely felt like I couldn’t breathe. It was a very frightening experience and unfortunately I didn’t feel well supported by the ICU nurses at that time. One nurse in particular was quite rude and accused me of abusing the staff, which was upsetting because I was simply panicking and asking for something to help calm me down.

Now that I’m back home recovering, I’ve sent Jessie an email with photos and a few questions asking if the doctor can check how the healing is progressing, but I haven’t received a reply yet. I understand the team may be busy, though some follow-up communication and reassurance post-op would really help during recovery.

This was a great way to get the surgery I wanted for less than half the price I was quoted in Australia. The process was really good and my representative Vita was very helpful. The food at the hospital was not great so try and bring food (soft if you’re having fave surgery) there’s a fridge in your room. There’s a great cafe with lots of nice food and smoothies downstairs if you can get there and order instead. I do wish the hospital nurses spoke better English, sometimes made it very hard. The destination beauty girls were all amazing and the hotel was really good too! My doctor, Dr Ring was excellent and my stitching perfect. Nurse Aom is an Angel.

Focus on Trust and the Journey

30kg down and feeling like a new woman!
I’ve been a "big girl" my whole life, struggling with yo-yo dieting since I was 15. After losing 20kg through hard work at the gym, I knew I needed professional help to reach my final goal.

This was my second time using Destination Beauty (I had a breast reduction in 2024), and once again, they exceeded every expectation.

I underwent a Full 360 Tummy Tuck and Liposuction with Dr. Weerachai. He was incredibly thorough, even identifying and fixing two hernias I didn’t know I had!

My recovery has been smooth, largely because I followed the team's advice to stay active before surgery.

A special shout-out to Noon, my support person, who was there for me every step of the way, and the amazing hotel staff who felt like family.

I’ve lost 30kg in total now (10kg since the surgery) and at 9 weeks post-op, my stomach is getting flatter every day.

If you’re in New Zealand or anywhere else, don't hesitate. The care here is top-notch and much more affordable than back home!

I know a lot of people get nervous about getting dental work done overseas, so I wanted to share my experience.
From the moment I arrived, the care and attention to detail has honestly blown me away. The team have been incredibly patient, professional, and focused on making sure I’m comfortable every step of the way.
I’ve had a full set of porcelain veneers, laser treatments, and an implant procedure completed, and the level of technology, cleanliness, communication, and aftercare has been amazing. It’s not just about the cosmetic side either, it’s the confidence you gain back.
Big thank you to the dentists, nurses, coordinators, and staff who have looked after me. You’ve made something that felt overwhelming feel manageable.

The team at db is marvellous. Dr Ring and Nurse Aom are the best. The consultant team were very professional. I could not fault any of the service and I continue to refer people to db Thailand rather than turkey.
Why did I not rate 5 stars is due to financial issues. I was advised liposuction $5800 and charged visa $7300. I only had $6000 and this put my visa into arrears. Even if the quote was in Aus $, it would not come to $7300 nz. I had already paid for the other surgery so this was an add on

I have had several procedures done at Destination Beauty. I am happy with the process from initial queries to the after care and most importantly, the final results. I would highly recommend Destination Beauty for cosmetic surgery.

After years of avoiding mirrors due to facial sagging, I chose Destination Beauty and Dr. NJ for my facelift. As a UK resident, I was hesitant about traveling to Thailand alone, but the organization was seamless. Dr. NJ was incredibly honest—he actually advised against a chin lift I thought I needed, proving he prioritizes patient needs over profit. The results are natural and "fresher" without looking "done." If you are retired or have the time to recover properly, this is an incredible value for the level of care you receive.
