Yanhee Hospital, Bangkok
Nicky, Whangamata, NZ
The results are impressive, all my clothes can be tucked in and I don't have to wear loose outfits. I absolutely love it! All my friends are so envious of my flat tummy. I have brought some stunning dresses that I never dreamed I would wear, on my own! My client manager was adorable. We spent so much time together, staying at my hotel till late and even bringing me dessert on my birthday because I was there on my own. When we drove into the city for outings I felt safe, the traffic was mind boggling with cars and motorbikes flying all around us! The drivers who took me to and from the hospital and airport were lovely too, each trip they carried my luggage, opened my doors and there was always a good morning. I couldn't fault them, they were gorgeous. The best thing is that I now have a whole different mind-set. I've picked up a lot of confidence, I never wanted a bikini body but I know I could easily wear one. It's impressive!
Kerry, Australia
Thank you for your email. I couldn't be happier with both Yanhee Hospital, Bangkok, and Dr. Vitawat. Everyone at the hospital went out of their way to make me comfortable and look after me.
It makes a big difference having smiling faces around you when you are in hospital. My room was large and well equipped and the food was lovely (though I felt nauseous after the anesthetic I did manage to eat at the next meal). When I was ready to leave a nurse helped me downstairs and got a taxi for me, being alone it was great to have such attentive care.
Dr. Vitawat has performed an exceptional operation, my breasts look fantastic already and I know when they drop more into position they will look very natural.
Thank you for all your help organizing things.
Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute
Gloria, NSW, Australia
I contacted Gorgeous Getaways after seeing them on TV, and experienced great service from the staff. The information I received from my destination manager left me feeling confident to arrive. Once in Phuket I was looked after by my client manager, who was very informative and was on top of my appointments. Since arriving home I have received good follow up service, the email contact has been constant. I would recommend Gorgeous Getaways to anyone who will listen!
Amanda, NZ
There was clear communication right from the start. My destination manager in NZ was very thorough and organized which was a huge contrast from another company I had dealt with. I was relieved to finally have someone listen, and take me seriously, it made me feel safe. My client manager in Phuket was my ray of sunshine. She was really good with my partner and my son, telling them about all the things they could do in Phuket. It was weird being in a new country you don't know, so that was wonderful. And she stayed with me all the way through, even holding my hand as they put me under. I had never met her before but she was a really warm person, I gelled with her straight away, I felt like I had met a new friend. In the hospital I had people in my room fussing over me every five minutes. I was treated like royalty. I had my own room, my own TV, my own couch for family to sit when they came to visit. I would totally recommend this to anyone thinking about it.
Diana, NZ
I am progressing well and going through all the formalities of the healing process. Looking at the before and after photos I am amazed at the outcome Dr Rushapol has created for me. Even in early days I feel the results have taken off so much more than 10 years. Thank you to my client manager for her support, it made my stay very comforting to know I was in good hands.
April, Sydney, Australia
The Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute was fantastic, it's beautiful, the staff are lovely, they treat you like royalty. Dr Sanguan was fantastic, you wouldn't find a doctor like that in Sydney, let alone a surgeon! He was just the nicest man you've ever met, and ultra-cautious. It was really refreshing to get such honest opinions. He was always available and would come round every morning to check on me. I would highly recommend him. The Duangjitt Resort was exactly what you would imagine a tropical holiday to be, with immaculate gardens and a phenomenal swimming pool. Plus it was nice and quiet, having no traffic noise smack bang in the middle of Patong was incredible!
Catherine, Queensland, Australia
Everybody involved was excellent, the whole experience was very good. I didn't choose Gorgeous Getaways because they were the cheapest, but because of the service. For me, being an older person, customer service is key. And the surgical side of it was perfect. My GP back home thought he did an excellent job, and that the incision was perfect. The surgeon was upfront and told me that it would take a couple of months to heal, that I wouldn't see the full results for at least a few months. But almost one month following the procedure I'm extremely happy with what I see.
Linda, Japan
The reason I went with Gorgeous Getaways rather than another company is because of all the good reviews I read online. And it was a really good experience. My doctor was with me the whole time which was comforting. It was all very systematic. The staff were very professional, and very experienced, the doctor did a wonderful job. Just a couple of days after my procedure I was able to go out walking, shopping and trying the local food. I booked tours through the hotel, we saw the big Buddha and the cashew factory, it was neat to see the shows and try the food. You can't see a big difference in my military uniform but when I'm wearing my civilian clothes you can definitely tell the difference. I didn't go huge, so it still looks really natural, just much fuller. I didn't expect it to be this good actually, it's wonderful, I couldn't be happier with the results!
Laura, Auckland, NZ
I had been wanting to change my breast size ever since I was a teenager, so after working hard and saving I decided to book a trip to Phuket to have a breast augmentation. I wanted to do this for myself, I knew this would be my breast size forever if I didn't have the procedure, so I wanted to save up the money and do it for me!
The hospital care was better than I could have imagined, I was looked after extremely well. All the doctors and nurses were really supportive.
I stopped being sore 3 weeks after the procedure, I'm amazed at how fast I have healed. My biggest concern was being put under general anesthetic, but with the support of the hospital staff and my mum I wasn't scared at all. My client manager visited me and mum at our accommodation, and we had a lunch with other clients which was really nice.
I've had great reactions from friends and family with everyone saying they look really natural. We stayed at Secret Cliff Resort in Karon Beach, it was beautiful, I was blown away with the views of the ocean and sunsets. I would highly recommend it!
I'm beyond happy with the service that I've had, and still continue to get. I would one hundred percent recommend Gorgeous Getaways.
Susan and Kelvin Cloutter, Queensland, Australia
We didn't have to do anything other than book our hotel, Gorgeous Getaways did everything for us. The care we received from Dr Pirinya and everyone involved was first class. I cannot begin to fault it, it was as good as any other experience we have had in Australia. Fabulous. We would absolutely recommend Gorgeous Getaways, they were very supportive. It felt like someone was holding our hand the whole way, we really didn't have to think about anything other than booking my flight. They take care of all the communication with the hospital. Everything is organised by Gorgeous Getaways. There are so many misconceptions about travelling overseas for surgery. We've both experienced what it's like, and we're not silly people. We went into it in a lot of detail. It's so much cheaper, there's no compromise on the surgeon's skills or the cleanliness of the hospital. You go in with a company like Gorgeous Getaways who are there holding your hand basically, it's a no brainer. You're chaperoned the whole way, there's nothing to worry about. We would never contemplate having it done in Australia, it's too expensive and the surgeons overseas have the same qualifications, they respect that you are leaving home and putting your trust in them. We found the facilities and the staff to be excellent, and the co-ordination impeccable.

John, Australia
Gorgeous Getaways truly lives up to its name! The accommodations were beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the medical facilities were state-of-the-art. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Gorgeous Getaways!
Kerri
Thank you so much, you helped us through a very stressful time, we would have been lost without you. Gorgeous Getaways are lucky to have such a caring team. Have a safe trip home.
Jodi
We would like to provide feedback on our client manager. She was amazing for both my mum and I during our time. In the beginning my mum and I felt lost and had not much support with the infection I encountered. When our client manager arrived and made contact she was amazing! She is so caring and supportive, really helpful and she made us feel at ease! She is an asset to Gorgeous Getaways and I am so grateful she was there to assist us! She is wonderful!
Cyn, Australia
Thank you so much for the concern, you have been great to me and on top of the communication through this whole adventure I have taken. Just to let you know I keep checking the scar area every day and double check on the healing process and so far all good. Some of the stitches I was concerned about are just coming out in due time on their own. I would be happy to recommend Gorgeous Getaways to any friends wishing to take the path I have taken.
Brenda, Australia
I want to thank you so much for the fantastic service you provide. I felt so supported and safe in Gorgeous Getaways' hands. I am very in awe of women who just get out there and take on such a challenge. I imagine starting up this kind of business in an offshore country must have been overwhelming at times, but wow, what a fantastic and comprehensive, safe service you provide. I probably will do it again, as it is such an easy process and it is all about me now.
Anna, NZ
I have had such a positive response from my friends, and from relative strangers! I have passed on the Gorgeous Getaways website to several people who have asked for it, including one shop assistant who was helping me try on dresses and whispered "I hope this isn't rude, but your boobs look awesome, are they real?" I was like "No, they're new but thanks for noticing!" She now has your website details as she was already looking into breast augmentation! Anyway, it was a great experience and I'm so pleased.
Annette, Australia
Couldn't rate my experience highly enough. Extremely satisfied with my help, treatment and unforgettable experience. Thank you.
Linda, UK
Upon arrival at the airport I was met and taken to my hotel room and I must say the hotel and surroundings were beyond expectation! All the medical staff were just wonderful and I at no time felt any apprehension. My doctor and the team were always there for me (I was travelling alone). Food was the most awesome experience and with all the fresh juices and fruit I healed so quickly which was remarkable for a 54 year old who now looks just 40! If any woman or man is thinking of getting a makeover I would say book now, I promise you that you won't regret it.
The prices are affordable, I paid around a third of what I was quoted at home, plus I had a luxury holiday and made new friends. I had a full tummy tuck, my nose straightened, brow lift, eyes done, full face lift and lipo to arms and waist. The scarring healed so well I can hardly notice anything on the tummy at all. To sum up, the team is just great, taking us out and just being there, so personal. When I can, I am going back for some non-surgery luxuries.
Bella, Australia
Although I had my surgery with Gorgeous Getaways four years ago, I am still delighted with the wonderful results the surgeon achieved. I had a face lift and tummy tuck and both procedures are still looking great. I have nice memories of constant support from the team, the top class surgeon and well-appointed hospital. Everything went as planned and I was winging my way home a new woman after just 21 days. As I travelled alone, I really appreciated the personal care and reassurance everyone extended to me; I had the opportunity to play tourist and visit some outstanding places and all for about a third of the price of surgery at home. I have recommended Gorgeous Getaways to many of my friends and family and will continue to do so.
Elsa, Australia
I had a full facial and a tummy tuck and could not be more pleased. Six months on and I feel wonderful. I have had so many comments on the way I now look I could not be more pleased. My surgeon was amazing, I could not have wished for a more compassionate and caring person for my surgery. The hospital staff were excellent and so very kind, nothing was too much trouble to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The team on hand at the hotel were marvelous and I appreciate everything that they did for me. I could not have been better looked after if they had been family. I would recommend any of my family or friends to have surgery with Gorgeous Getaways. Thank you so very much for the change in the way I feel about myself.
Jan, Australia
My plane arrived home half an hour early so my husband was not there when I expected him. When he finally saw me he could not believe it was me, every time he looks at me he still smiles and says "You look amazing." My daughters said I look too young to be their mum. Back at work now, I have had a few comments, and one supervisor asked if I'd had my eyes done, I agreed, and he said the surgeon did a great job.
An NZ client
Just letting you know all is well, I am recovering really well with no hiccups. Have just got back from afternoon tea and a bit of shopping. I have to check in with myself to make sure I am not dreaming, it all seems very unreal. I have no regrets at all. The hospital is amazing, and I thought the hotel was fab. The hospital, staff, food, etc. are like ten star!
Bailey, 40, NZ
Thank you, thank you, thank you. All is great, my husband is a very happy man and all my family and friends are thrilled with the results. I have been telling everyone how great your company and staff are, and that Gorgeous Getaways is the only way to go.
Jennifer, 33, Australia
I am so happy I can fit into a lot of my old clothes and that is wonderful in itself. I feel less self-conscious and I am really happy with the healing process, no trouble at all. I loved my experience, I would do it again in a heartbeat. For less than I would have paid at home, I got the attention of top doctors, in a top hospital, with around the clock care for three days and a holiday for my whole family.
Denise, 41, NZ
Thank you for all the trouble you went to, to get me what I needed in regards to my bookings for hospital and accommodation. My breasts are very beautiful and I couldn't have been happier with the hospital or the lovely doctor that looked after me.
Dionne, 41, UK
Dr. Charles Lee, I just can't thank you enough for all you've done. You were there right from the consultation making me feel relaxed, comfortable, when I needed it most. You gave me something very special back. In time, I look forward to the overall results. Yes I will return, not only for more surgery treatments, but for a holiday and of course, to see my favorite doctor again! Once again, thank you, keep up your excellent work!
Jason, 25, Australia
Thanks for everything whilst I was there, I really had a great time and felt so looked after, I will certainly remember the whole thing so fondly. Everything is good with my surgery results, looking better day by day as the swelling goes down. I was really so happy with the results straight away and couldn't believe that there was hardly any swelling or bruising.
Michelle, 21, Australia
Everything is great, I have got rid of all my old padded bras! Everyone has said I look healthier and happier! It's boosted my confidence quite a bit, I don't get shy anymore about my chest, which is great! The bruising and swelling have gone down completely, and I got the stitches taken out okay, and I have bought some pure natural vitamin E oil to reduce the scarring. I'd be more than happy to recommend my surgeon, he was great for me and I'd tell others the same.
Judith, 51, Australia
Gorgeous Getaways are the most professional medical tour business in the world, I would highly recommend them.
Kelly, 25, NZ
I'm back from my surgery and had a great experience and results, thanks! I was out shopping the day after I got back, I think everyone commented how fast I was out and about. I thought the team were really great, also the team at the hospital; the lovely staff who looked after me, I couldn't fault them.
Diane, 43, UK
I can only say I don't know why I waited so long, and the Gorgeous Getaways team were fab, as were the hotel and hospital staff. I couldn't have afforded this at home and would highly recommend your company to anyone.
Jordana, 20, Australia
Thanks for everything! It was brilliant and I really couldn't believe how good the service was. I wasn't even expecting Gorgeous Getaways to be half as good as it was.
Marilyn, 53, Australia
We cannot thank you and the whole team enough for your helpfulness and encouragement through the entire surgery process, plus your follow up calls and visits. We will certainly be referring you to all our friends who may need your services.
Jenelle, 26, Australia
I would tell anyone considering cosmetic surgery to go with Gorgeous Getaways as there is no comparison with anyone else. Words are not enough to explain how good the hospital, the nurses, the surgeon and the team were. The service was better than great. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. To the whole team, thanks so much for your help and support.
Kelly and Ben, UK
My husband and I would like to thank everyone at Gorgeous Getaways. We had a wonderful holiday, and the lovely time away took my mind off the pain of recovery! I will definitely be referring Gorgeous Getaways to all my friends and family.
Malaysia — Bariatric Procedures
Leesa, Queensland, Australia
Gorgeous Getaways has helped me to have a very relaxed, stress-free surgery in Kuala Lumpur. My driver was waiting outside customs with a sign of my name so I didn't have to try and find him at all. I was treated like a celebrity, he took my bag and gave me a very warm welcome. I was then driven to the hospital in a very nice, comfortable, stress-free ride into town.
The hospital staff were very friendly and gentle, and made sure that I was well looked after. I would recommend anyone who is considering surgery with Gorgeous Getaways to just do it! There is nothing at all to worry about, you get treated like a celebrity, I loved it!
After my hospital stay I was then greeted by a lovely client manager, an exceptionally lovely lady, so so nice. My driver and client manager then took me to the beautiful Pullman Hotel where my room was amazing! My client manager stayed with me while I checked in, which was fabulous as in case of language differences she was there to translate for me.
My stay in the hotel was very relaxing, I was able to be in touch with my client manager every day and it didn't matter what time of day it was. She is a very caring, easy to talk to, lovely lady. I would recommend Gorgeous Getaways to anyone considering having surgery overseas. They take all the stress out of going to a different country. Thank you so much for helping me change my life.
