Chiang Mai · Hair
Hair transplant is performed in Chiang Mai by dedicated hair-restoration clinics and by hospital departments. It is a long single session rather than a series of appointments.
Price is usually driven by the number of grafts, so a like-for-like comparison between clinics means comparing graft counts and the technique used — not headline figures.

Quoted by the clinic
What a starting price means. It is the published figure for the simplest configuration of this procedure — the standard implant, technique or materials. Yours may cost more depending on what you need. Thai hospitals quote a fixed package that states the hospital stay it includes.
Matched on procedure, budget, language and availability. They come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
A hair transplant moves follicles from the back and sides of the scalp — where hair is generally not affected by pattern loss — to thinning or bald areas at the front and crown.
It is one long session, often eight hours or more. Transplanted hair sheds within weeks and regrows over the following months, so the result is judged at nine to twelve months, not at week two.
The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
The number that determines both the price and the coverage. Any figure given before an examination is provisional.
Some clinics use technicians for parts of the work. Ask specifically who does what, and what the surgeon does.
The single most visible decision. Agree it, and see it drawn, before anything starts.
Pattern loss continues. Ask how the plan accounts for what you may lose in ten years.

In writing, in English, before money moves.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Chiang Mai, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

No. It is a starting price. Graft count decides the real figure.
Only an assessment can answer that. Treat any number given before one as provisional.
Around 5 days — the procedure itself is one long day, plus the first wash and a final check.
Gradually, over many months. Ask the clinic for its own review schedule.
Ask the clinic what the donor and recipient areas look like at day three, day seven and week two, and plan your travel around the answer.
