Phuket beauty clinic customers allege hidden debts of more than B3.7mn

The group gathered last night (Dec 18) to lodge a collective complaint, saying their financial obligations were far higher than what had been explained before they agreed to undergo treatment.

Many believed they were paying tens of thousands of baht for cosmetic procedures, but later discovered they were tied to instalment plans or credit arrangements worth hundreds of thousands of baht.

Coordinator Worapong Yurahman, who helped bring the victims together, said several people believed they had only agreed to promotional packages or benefit exchanges offered by the clinic. However, they later found what appeared to be loan or finance agreements linked to their names.

One victim said that during the procedure, actions were taken using their mobile phone, and they later discovered documents resembling loan contracts that were never clearly explained. Some also claimed they did not receive any notification messages at the time, leaving them unaware of the debt until later.

Several victims said attempts to contact the clinic for clarification or refunds were unsuccessful, prompting them to unite, collect evidence and seek legal advice.

Mr Worapong confirmed the group is still compiling information and, as of now, has not yet formally filed a police complaint. Lawyers are being consulted to determine the next steps. The victims are also inviting anyone else who may have been affected to come forward to support a thorough investigation and fair resolution.

Further developments are expected as legal consultations continue.
