Dr. Ratchathorn Panchaprateep (Dr Bonus, Pancharaprateep)
Associate professor of dermatology·Absolute Hair Clinic
Thailand
$15,000 for 4,240 grafts Patient reported, Jul 2026 · Cost detailsBackground
Ratchathorn Panchaprateep is an associate professor in the Division of Dermatology, Chulalongkorn University, and practices at Absolute Hair Clinic 1. The clinic describes itself as one Bangkok branch with two doctors who each respond to inquiries directly 4. She is a board-certified dermatologist with a PhD in dermatology, her doctoral research focused on hair follicle stem cells and transplant regeneration 1. Her clinic hours there are limited: none Monday or Friday, evenings Tuesday/Wednesday, a Thursday morning slot, and weekend afternoons 1. The clinic states it has been dedicated exclusively to hair transplantation for 17 years 4.
Procedures and techniques
Per the clinic, services span FUE/FUT transplants, eyebrow/mustache/beard transplants, scar transplantation, and non-surgical options such as PRP, laser therapy and Rigenera Activa 2. For FUE it uses the Trivellini system with flared-rim punches sized 0.8-1.00mm, stated to allow up to 4,000 grafts a day 3. The doctor draws the hairline and makes all incisions; a technician extracts the grafts, assistants place most with implanters, and the doctor places some and reviews the finished work 3.
Pricing
The clinic does not publish per-graft or package prices in English; its rescheduling policy notes the per-graft price may change to the rate applying on the new procedure date 5. It accepts Visa and Mastercard with a 2.5% surcharge, Thai baht cash, or the WISE app; American Express is not accepted 4. Booking requires a deposit the clinic states is non-refundable under any circumstances 5.
Booking and aftercare
Patients are asked to email photos and video of the thinning and donor areas with their history and goals, and to state a preference between the clinic's two doctors 4. Rescheduling is allowed twice within a year of the deposit: free with 30 days' notice, a $200 fee (7,000 THB) for 15-29 days, and treated as a cancellation under 14 days 5. Post-op care includes five days of wound care, hair washing and laser therapy, plus optional hyperbaric oxygen 6. The clinic cites graft survival of 80-95%, not guaranteed, and offers no results guarantee or refunds 4.
Credentials and memberships
She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (2013) and a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (2016), also listed as a member of the Medical Council of Thailand, the Dermatological Society of Thailand, and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery 1.

Unhingeddragon had a 4,240-graft FUE with Dr. Ratchathorn on 8 November 2025, for roughly NW4/5, and reports paying about $15,000 USD in total including grafts, extras and travel (an earlier post said about $14,000). They stayed 11 days in Bangkok with daily aftercare, and posted updates from day 20 through month 8. Early on they described shedding and a slightly uneven hairline, and at 7 months said only one circled area needed more density; by month 8 they were "Over the moon about the results so far" and might consider a second procedure around mid-2028.

YoniMtzHT had a repair of an earlier botched FUT job by another surgeon: 3,569 scalp grafts with Dr Ratchathorn (6,010 hairs) on 2025-08-19 in Thailand, plus 510 beard grafts into the scar by Dr Laorwong, paying $8,802.98. He called the result "top quality work" by day 6, then went through heavy shedding in weeks 2-4 (the 'ugly duckling' phase) with new growth by weeks 6-8. At month 4 he said the scar was almost gone, and at about 6 months he said it was an amazing experience and that he was well taken care of.

Unusual-Sheepherder7 had a procedure with Dr Ratchathorn on 5 January 2026, with 3,743 grafts (2,243 front, 1,500 crown) at 80 baht per graft and a deliberately conservative hairline. At one month they said communication could be a bit better and the clinic is busy, rated the pain 7/10, but said 'everything else was amazing'. At five months they reported FUE growth taking off around 3.5 months and said they 'couldn't be happier', adding that the temples were not recommended at consultation and they would change that.

omrixeren, a 26-year-old man, had 3,971 FUE grafts with Dr. Ratchathorn in Bangkok in July 2025 for diffuse thinning (an estimated NW2 diffuse thinner), paying about 9,800 to 10,000 USD excluding flights and accommodation. At 5 days he said he "couldn’t be happier"; at 5 and 7.5 months he was "absolutely thrilled", and at 9.5 months he said "All in all, I’m extremely happy with it." He reports no complications, but says that in bright light he still wants more density in some spots. He stayed on oral finasteride and 5 mg oral minoxidil.

He reported at 4 months that he was very happy but that the transplanted area was still visibly thin in places, and at 5 months that he was extremely happy so far. He describes brutal shedding and an 'ugly duckling' phase before improvement at about 3.5 to 4 months. He had already booked a second surgery with her for added density.

No_Hearing_6542 had a 3,200-graft FUE procedure with Ratchathorn Panchaprateep at Absolute Hair Clinic in 2024 (2,700 front, 500 crown), and says he paid about 7,500 USD for surgery plus roughly 1.5k in flights and 2k for transport and hotels. He had originally wanted Laorwong but chose her when Laorwong lacked availability. Over updates from day 4 to 20 months he stayed positive, saying he is "extremely happy with the result", that the final result was probably reached around month 10, and that he got "the strongest possible result for the price that Absolute charges". He attributes much of the result to an excellent donor, and reported some shedding at month 15 that he believed was androgen desynchronization.

He posted updates from day 0 to 11 months. At four months he felt the hairline was too high for his age of 20 and considered a touch-up, though he said she was great at what she does. By 10 and 11 months he was extremely satisfied, praising density and placement, while naming slow email communication and one unpleasant nurse as negatives.

This reddit user has not yet had surgery with Dr. Ratchathorn at Absolute Hair Clinic in Bangkok; he was scheduled for January 2026 after a long wait for a full-day slot. She recommended about 4,500 grafts for the hairline to mid scalp and possibly a second surgery of 2,000 for the crown; his quote was about $11,000 USD for FUE (about $14,000 for FUT). He said he chose her after a lot of research because of good word of mouth and easy communication, and shortly before surgery wrote "I trust her completely." No outcome is reported yet.

CarkRoastDoffee had a 4,000-graft FUE procedure with Dr Ratchathorn at Absolute Hair Clinic in Bangkok on 19 February 2025, paying about 14,000 CAD (another post says 14,500 CAD including hotel). He rated early harvesting pain 5/10 until the anaesthetic took effect, said one aftercare technician washed too aggressively, and said his surgery ran to about midnight due to a receptionist's scheduling mistake. Still, he called the basic aftercare more than enough and at 8 months wrote that he is very happy with the result and extremely thankful to Dr Ratchathorn and her team.

IronAnger, a man who describes his earlier transplant at Cancun Hair Restoration as botched, had a repair with Dr. Ratchathorn Panchaprateep at Absolute Hair Clinic in Bangkok on 25 October 2024: 4,153 FUE grafts at 80 baht per graft over about 10 hours, with verteporfin that he supplied himself (cost $1,360 for 200mg; the clinic mixed and injected it at no extra charge). He reports that the anesthesia failed from around hour 6, calling it by far the most painful experience of his life, and that brief sun exposure left probable permanent burn scars on his left ear, while still saying "cannot recommend Dr. Ratchathorn enough" and that she and her team do great work. At 8.5 months he called the result "amazing" compared with where he started and estimated 50-60% regrowth from verteporfin, and he later posted 18-month pictures.

The reporter had about 3,600 FUE grafts with Dr Ratchathorn in 2026 at 90 baht per graft. They reported free washing and laser therapy for the first five days and a check on day 11 where the grafts were secure, with a somewhat red donor area treated with lotion. At two weeks they called it a good experience, while saying they must wait to see how it grows in the months ahead.
