Please note that if you wish to pay by credit card issued outside Thailand, you should notify your Bank to expect the transaction to be made in Bangkok, Thailand for LASIK treatment as it is common that the Bank will note this as a fraud or exceed maximum credit allowance and deny the transaction. This can delay your surgery so we would like to inform you so you can be fully prepared coming into the clinic for surgery.
