VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:
IT'S KNOWN AS THE LAND OF SMILES.
THAILAND - WHERE THE OBSESSION TO LOOK YOUNG AND PRETTY HAS FUELED A BOOM IN THE COSMETIC SURGERY INDUSTRY.
BUT NOW SOME WORRY LINES CREEPING TO THE SURFACE AS MORE AND MORE BACK ALLY CLINICS POP UP, LURING IN PEOPLE WITH CHEAP AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS PRACTICES.
SOT PHASIT SAKDANARONG, CHIEF ADVISOR TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH MINISTER
"THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED (ABOUT) IS THAT PEOPLE GO TO THE ILLEGAL CLINIC LIKE THIS, VERY EASY TO GET AN INFECTION AND SOMETIMES EASY TO DIE."
TO BE SURE, MOST OF THE SOME 500 COSMETICS CLINICS IN BANGKOK ARE ABOVE BOARD.
BUT IN JUST THE PAST TWO MONTHS OFFICIALS HAVE SHUT DOWN 40 ILLEGAL CLINICS, WITH AN ESTIMATED 200 OR SO STILL OPERATIONAL.
AND POLICE SAY THESE FACILITIES ARE FLUSH WITH LOW-GRADE AND FAKE MATERIALS THAT CAN HAVE COSTLY CONSEQUENCES.
(NAT SOUND THAI)
THIS WOMAN SAYS THE PLACE SHE WENT TO MADE HER FACE LOOK LIKE A WITCH.
IT COULD BE WORSE THOUGH, LIKE THE STORY OF THIS PROMOTIONS GIRL WHO WANTED MORE CURVES.
POLICE SAY SHE COLLAPSED AND DIED AFTER RECEIVING A FILLER INJECTION.
HER FAMILY HAD WARNED HER AGAINST THE PROCEDURE SAYING THE PRICE FOR BEAUTY IS TOO STEEP.
