Background
Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana is CEO and Founder of BHI Clinic (Best Hair Icons) in Bangkok, Thailand, holding a Doctor of Medicine from Siriraj Hospital and certification by the Thai Board of General and Plastic Surgery.2 She trained under Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich through an ISHRS-accredited fellowship and worked alongside him at DHT Clinic from 2009 to 2012.2 She has run her practice since 2012, per a third-party directory.3 That practice, originally Maple Hair Clinic, later became BHI Clinic; she splits a weekly schedule between its Ladprao and Salaya branches.2
Procedures and techniques
BHI Clinic's site lists FUT, FUE, non-shaven FUE, long-hair FUE, and facial (beard and eyebrow) hair transplants among its services.1 Per a third-party directory, Dr. Kulakarn personally harvests grafts and creates recipient incisions for FUE, performing one surgery a day (up to two for eyebrow or beard cases); her nursing team implants roughly 80% of grafts with pre-made slits, and she hand-implants the rest using a stick-and-place method for temple peaks and eyebrows, since implanters cannot achieve as flat an angle.3 The FUT page describes strip harvesting, microscopic dissection into follicular units, and angled recipient incisions.4 Consultations are where the surgeon designs the hairline and sets the graft count; shaven FUE may be unsuitable for low donor density, since shaving makes thin areas more visible.5
Pricing
Booking and aftercare
The clinic offers a free consultation by email, WhatsApp, LINE, or 20-minute video call.6 For FUE, it recommends staying in Bangkok at least 48 hours post-surgery, with a mandatory next-day follow-up for bandage removal and a professional wash.5 For FUT, it describes a post-surgery bandage, a professional wash within a day or two, and stitch removal around 7-14 days.4
Credentials and memberships
Dr. Kulakarn is a Fellow Member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand and Society of Plastic Surgeons of Thailand, and a founding member of the Asian Association and Thai Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons.2 Her clinic's site describes her as a "past" American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery credential holder; she does not appear in the ABHRS diplomate registry.2
