Thailand is renowned for its affordable cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, attracting men and women from around the world every year to go under the knife. One particular surgery that is growing in fame is Thailand's increasingly popular sex reassignment surgery. In Thailand female to male surgery or FtM cosmetic surgery prices vary from $9,500 to $10,000 for a metoidoplasty, whereas a male to female surgery or MtF costs $6,500. Medical tourism is providing potential patients with affordable options to change their sex. As one of the top regional destinations for medical tourists, Thailand offers its patients high-tech hospitals and a reputation for quality care.

When it comes to sex reassignment surgery, there are many options to include when considering a "complete package."

In addition, many patients opt for prosthetic male genitalia through phalloplasty. Male to female surgery, on the other hand, includes getting a voice change, Adam’s apple shaving, penile skin inversion, labiaplasty, and a mandibular angle reduction.

For the last ten years, Asia has been a popular medical tourist destination for patients looking for affordable treatments. Thailand in particular has benefited from this massive influx of travellers in search of specialized procedures. In an article on Reuter’s, Asia’s medical tourism market generated $3.4 billion in 2007 from the 2.9 million people who travelled to the region for medical, cosmetic, and dental surgery.

A more recent article from Travel Daily News, has consulted a study made by Deloitte Consulting in 2008 estimating that medical tourists to Asia (Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia), will reach 10 million by 2012. The reason for this? Significantly cheaper cosmetic surgery prices, top quality care, and first rate doctors with training from the US and UK.
