Thailand has become a leading destination for FTM bottom surgery, with JCI-accredited hospitals offering both phalloplasty and metoidioplasty at costs 60-80% lower than Western countries. Surgeons like Dr. Kamol Pansritum perform over 100 gender-affirming surgeries annually with specialized microsurgery teams, and trans men from the US, UK, and Australia choose Bangkok for this high-volume experience and immediate availability.
Phalloplasty costs $30,000-$45,000 for all stages in Thailand compared to $75,000-$150,000 in the US, while metoidioplasty costs $8,000-$12,000. Surgery dates are available within weeks at hospitals dedicated to transgender care, without the multi-year wait times common in Western healthcare systems.

What it is: Creates penis using tissue from forearm (RFF) or thigh (ALT). Constructs shaft, urethra, scrotum. Average length 4-6 inches. Requires erectile implant for penetrative sex.
Stage 1 (6-8 hour surgery): Phallus construction, urethral lengthening, vaginectomy (optional), scrotoplasty with testicular implants. Hospital stay 7-10 days. Recovery 3-4 months before Stage 2.
Stage 2 (6-12 months later): Urethral connection to bladder, glansplasty (shaping head of penis), minor revisions. Hospital stay 5-7 days. Recovery 3-6 months.
Stage 3 (12-18 months after Stage 1): Erectile implant placement for penetrative sex. Outpatient or 1-night stay. Recovery 6-8 weeks.
Best for: Trans men wanting larger size, penetrative sex capability, urination standing, don't mind multiple stages and donor site scarring (forearm or thigh).
Sensation: Nerve hookup during Stage 1 allows sensation development over 12-24 months. Most patients achieve orgasm post-healing (88.5% in studies). Erogenous sensation concentrated where clitoris is buried under shaft.
Donor site scarring: RFF (forearm): visible scar covered with skin graft, typically 6-8 inches. ALT (thigh): scar on outer thigh, easier to hide with clothing.
What it is: Releases testosterone-enlarged clitoris from ligaments to create small penis (2-3 inches average). Retains full clitoral sensitivity. Single surgery, less invasive.
What's included: Clitoral release and lengthening, urethral lengthening (optional - allows standing urination), vaginectomy (optional), scrotoplasty with testicular implants.
Best for: Trans men wanting genital masculinization, standing urination, full erogenous sensation, avoiding donor site scars, comfortable with smaller size (not adequate for penetrative sex without additional augmentation).
Sensation: Full clitoral sensitivity retained - often enhanced due to better exposure. Orgasm capability 90%+ (higher than phalloplasty because clitoris remains intact).
Size: Depends on testosterone-induced growth. Most patients 1.5-3 inches. Not adequate length for typical penetrative intercourse, though some patients report successful intimacy with specific positioning.
Recovery: 2-3 weeks hospital/hotel stay. 2-3 months before sexual activity. 6 months full healing.

Requirements:
Preparation:
Week 1: Arrive in Bangkok, adjust to climate and time zone. Pre-op consultations with surgeon, anesthesiologist, urologist. Blood work, chest X-ray, EKG. Donor site marking (forearm or thigh).
Week 2: Surgery day. Operating time 6-8 hours. What happens: tissue harvested from donor site (forearm or thigh), blood vessels and nerves preserved, phallus sculpted and positioned, urethral tube created, clitoris buried under shaft for sensation, vaginectomy if desired, scrotum created with testicular implants, donor site covered with skin graft.
Post-op: ICU first 24 hours (monitoring blood flow to new tissue), then private room. Urinary catheter for 2-3 weeks. Pain managed with IV medications first 48 hours, then oral. Limited mobility first week.
Week 2-4: Hospital stay 7-10 days depending on healing. Daily wound checks on phallus and donor site. Catheter care training. Light walking encouraged after day 5. Discharged to hotel when pain controlled, urinating (via catheter), walking independently.
Hotel recovery 2-3 weeks. Daily or every-other-day follow-up appointments. Donor site dressing changes. Swelling assessment. Catheter removed week 3-4 once urethral connection heals.
Flying home: Minimum 4 weeks post-op. Donor site needs time to heal, risk of blood clots on long flights while recovering from major surgery.
Recovery at home. Donor site scar matures (stays red/raised 6-12 months before fading). Phallus sensation develops gradually as nerves regenerate. Physical therapy for donor site if needed (especially forearm RFF - can affect wrist mobility if not managed).
Interim care: Local physician monitors healing. Telemedicine with Thai surgeon at 3 and 6 months (often included in package). Report any issues: poor wound healing, infection, loss of sensation, urethral stricture.
6-12 months after Stage 1. Similar arrival/prep process. Surgery 3-5 hours: connecting neo-urethra to bladder, glansplasty (shaping penis head), labia minora reduction if needed, minor aesthetic revisions.
Hospital stay 5-7 days. Catheter 2-3 weeks. Hotel recovery 2-3 weeks. Flying home week 4-5.
Complication watch: Urethral fistula (leak between urethra and skin) occurs in 15-30% of cases - usually minor, fixable with outpatient procedure. Stricture (narrowing) less common but requires dilation or surgical revision.
12-18 months after Stage 1. Final stage for patients wanting penetrative sex capability. Surgery 2-3 hours: erectile device implanted (inflatable pump in scrotum, cylinders in phallus). Allows on-demand rigidity.
Outpatient or 1-night hospital stay. Recovery 6-8 weeks (no sexual activity during healing). Learn pump operation before leaving Thailand.
Alternative: Some patients skip this stage if not pursuing penetrative intercourse. Phallus still functions for urination and appearance without implant.
Total Stage 1: $16,700-$18,920
Total all 3 stages: $30,000-$45,000 (surgery costs $26,000-$33,000 + travel/accommodation for 3 trips)
You save $30,000-$100,000+ compared to US costs of $75,000-$150,000 for complete phalloplasty.
Total: $13,850-$15,640
Compare to US metoidioplasty $20,000-$30,000 - you save $6,000-$15,000.

By city
Stage 1: 4-5 weeks in Thailand (7-10 days hospital, rest hotel recovery). 3-4 months at home before Stage 2 (light work possible after 6-8 weeks, strenuous activity after 3 months). Stage 2: 4-5 weeks in Thailand, 2-3 months recovery at home. Stage 3: 6-8 weeks total recovery. Complete process 12-18 months start to finish, though many patients space stages further apart based on work/life schedules.
Some surgeons allow this, others prefer separate procedures. Hysterectomy or FTM top surgery before phalloplasty reduces overall surgery count (one less trip to Thailand). Risk: combining major surgeries increases operating time and complication risk. Discuss with surgeon during consultation - decision based on your health, BMI, surgical plan.
Phalloplasty if: You want larger size (4-6 inches), penetrative sex capability, don't mind multiple stages and donor site scar, willing to wait 12-24 months for sensation development. Metoidioplasty if: You prioritize sensation over size, want single surgery, avoid donor site scarring, comfortable with 2-3 inch result, testosterone gave you good clitoral growth (1+ inches). Consult with surgeon - they assess your anatomy and goals to recommend best option.
Most patients travel solo successfully, especially for Stage 2 and 3 (less invasive than Stage 1). Stage 1 is major surgery - having companion helps with early mobility, emotional support during 4-week recovery. Hospitals have nursing care and English-speaking coordinators available, but physical assistance first week post-op is genuinely helpful if you can arrange it, even if only for the first 1-2 weeks after the surgery.
Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.
Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.
Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.
This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.
Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.
If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again
Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.
The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
Konkai Health helped me with my search to find affordable service for my rotary cuff repair. Told them my price range and gave me options for hospitals. Helped with every step of the process from consultation with physician to surgery to after care if needed. I highly recommend if you're an expat or visiting and you need medical services reach out to this organization.
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
Was confused as to where to get good Medical Services in Thailand. This company was very responsive and helpful.
They directed me to a very reputable local Hospital where I was treated by a Doctor with great reviews.
Also, the cost for the procedure was very reasonable and a fraction of what it would cost me in the US.
I would highly recommend this company to others. 🙏♥️🙏
I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10
