Hello! My name is Pongkarn (หมอป่องสวยมาก), but most people call me Dr. Palm. I was raised in a multicultural family—my stepfather is German, and my mother used to run a tourism company in Thailand. Growing up, I often helped her guide international guests, which sparked my lifelong passion for hosting and connecting with people from around the world.

I graduated from Chulalongkorn University, the top dental school in Thailand, and earned my postgraduate degree in Prosthodontics from King’s College London, ranked No.1 in the world for dentistry.

Now, I’m the CEO and founder of Hachi Dental Clinic, a tiny clinic located just 20 minutes from central Bangkok. We're fully equipped with a 3D CT scan, intraoral scanner, and an in-house veneer lab, and we are officially accredited as an Advanced-Level Dental Clinic by the Thai Dental Clinic Accreditation (TDCA) program.

I’m a prosthodontist from KCL, with a strong passion for dental veneers. Over the years, I’ve completed more than 400+ smile makeover cases, mostly for celebrities, influencers, and high-profile CEOs. You can also find me on TikTok at @drpongsuaymak, where I share real patient stories with over 100,000 followers.

But I don’t work alone—all of my friend dentists are highly skilled professionals who are well-respected within local Thailand’s dental community. We work closely as a team, carefully planning each case together. Each of us focuses on our own specialty to provide truly expert-level care.

For example, if you come in for dental implants, you’ll be treated by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the surgical procedure, and your crown will be restored by a prosthodontist—ensuring precision and long-term success.

I genuinely love welcoming international patients and offering them not just top-quality dental work, but also a warm, local experience. We’ve recently launched our “First Country Comes First” promotion—if you're from a country we haven’t treated before, you're eligible for a special offer!

Feel free to check our website to see real before-and-after cases.
And don’t worry about transportation or hotels—I will provide a private driver service and have trusted hotel partnerships in Bangkok to help make your dental trip smooth and stress-free. Just message me directly and I’ll help take care of everything. ^_^
