Not at HHH, I had mine done at the Petcharat Hospital in Petchaburi by a Dr Wittaya who is reportedly one of the best Urologists in the area - I have previously posted his details on the Forum, but if it’s of any interest to you, I can do so again?

That's OK, I saw your posts about him. One thing though, do you know if he takes insurance payments directly?

I paid the hospital direct rather than Dr Wittaya and it was self financed, but I’m certain the hospital would take insurance. For what it’s worth, I would recommend Dr Wittaya, very professional and a good sense of humour - he told me that the nurse would be round to shave me prior to the operation and he said she’s very attractive - well without being intentionally rude, she was definitely not attractive, but maybe that was a good thing!!
