The world has lost an artist

I have returned to Thailand and wanted to contact Dr. Choomchoke. The hospital informed me that he passed away in September. I was very sad to hear this. The world has lost an artist and a very kind man. May he rest in peace.

I think I need a new passport.

When I was leaving Thailand and at the immigration desk the official looked at me, looked at my passport and then looked at me again and said, pointing at the passport, "This isn't you." My heart sank and I thought, "How am I going to solve this problem!" She took another look and then she said, "Well, it must be because you are blond in the picture and now you are brunette!" I breathed a sigh of relief and boarded the plane.

12 hours later, upon arriving in Vienna, I had to show my passport again at the Austrian immigration counter and the same thing happend again! It was a bit easier this time because I could explain to the official in German that I had had a facelift and therefore the passport picture and my face did not match. He laughed, said he thought, seeing my results, he might go to Thailand himself some day and waved me through. So all was well - but I will get a new passport sometime soon!

New photo

Here's another photo. 2 weeks following surgery. I had not yet had the upper eyelids done. In the meantime they have been done, but I just got the stitches out the day before yesterday and the results are not yet clear.

He did a perfect Job!! He visited me twice a day the two days I was in the hospital (Bandon International Hospital on the island of Koh Samui). The follow-up care has been excellent and has not involved any extra costs. A week after the operation the stitches were removed (although only 2 1/2 weeks have passed, there is absolutely no scarring and it is almost impossible to see where the stitches were) and he wants to see me for a check-up once a week until I leave Thailand to return to my home in Europe. He is a very experienced surgeon. His Asian manner is more reserved than what I am used to in Europe and the States. Very professional and gentle. He speaks good English and answered all of my questions.
