Kamol Hospital

About Kamol Hospital

Kamol Hospital is a JCI-accredited hospital in Wang Thonglang, north-east Bangkok, built around gender-affirming surgery, and voice feminization has its own surgeon and its own programme there. Dr. Tharatip Likkasittipan is a board-certified otolaryngologist with head and neck training who dedicates his work to gender-affirming voice surgery. He offers two operations: cricothyroid approximation, which tightens the vocal folds through a small cut of about 2 cm in a neck crease and takes around 40 to 50 minutes under general anaesthesia, and an open feminization laryngoplasty with shaving of the front of the vocal folds. In either one your Adam's apple can be reduced through the same incision, so a tracheal shave needs no second scar.

What sets Kamol apart is how much care goes into the weeks around the operation. Before surgery you have a full ENT assessment with stroboscopy and a recording of your pitch, plus a speech-therapy assessment about a week before. Afterwards comes a week of complete voice rest, then on days 8 to 10 a check with videolaryngostroboscopy and acoustic analysis, your stitches out and speech therapy under way, with sessions in the second and fourth weeks and monthly online sessions after you're home if you want them. Follow-ups run at one, three, six and twelve months, and your final voice usually settles in three to eight months. It will also look at revising voice surgery done elsewhere, case by case.

Plan on about 10 to 14 days in Bangkok. It starts with a free consultation with no commitment, multilingual coordinators look after you from your first message, and its Kamol Trip service helps you arrange somewhere to stay near the hospital. Keep up your voice training before you fly and after you're home: surgery sets the pitch, training makes it yours. This is information, not medical advice; your surgeon will tell you which operation suits your voice.
