Why Head to Thailand for Cosmetic Surgery? Read this.

One of the benefits for Westerners working and living in Thailand is how much lower the cost-of-living is. Accommodation, shopping, dining out – all the everyday things are considerably less. So, too, are the not-so-everyday things, like plastic surgery.
