Recovery after a tracheal shave (Adam’s apple reduction) in Thailand spans several weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising usually subside within 2–4 weeks. Full scar healing takes 6–12 months.

Scars from Adam's apple reduction are small and placed in natural skin folds or under the chin to stay discreet. They fade significantly within 6 to 12 months. Surgeons use fine sutures and recommend scar care routines to improve healing and reduce visibility.

Tracheal shave surgery rarely affects the voice or breathing when performed by an experienced surgeon. The procedure removes cartilage without damaging the vocal cords, which sit just above the thyroid cartilage. Temporary voice hoarseness may occur but usually resolves within 20 days.

Temporary hoarseness, mild swallowing difficulty, and minor bruising or swelling are the most frequently reported issues. Serious complications are rare. Studies show that tracheal shave surgery has a 98.4% satisfaction rate, and most side effects resolve within weeks.

Choose a board-certified plastic or ENT surgeon with experience in gender-affirming or facial feminization surgery. Look for membership in reputable organizations such as the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) or the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
