About Dr. Thanakrit Mongklapaiboon

Dr. Thanakrit Mongklapaiboon is a Thai Board-certified interventional radiologist at YOUNIFY Clinic, a physician-led Healthy Aging and Wellness Center on Silom Road in central Bangkok. His practice is built around image-guided, minimally invasive treatment: procedures carried out through a needle or a small puncture instead of an open incision, guided in real time by X-ray, ultrasound, or CT.

MAIN AREAS OF PRACTICE

  • Knee and musculoskeletal intervention: genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis, plus nerve block and ablation for chronic joint and nerve pain. GAE is a non-surgical, needle-only option often considered by patients with persistent knee pain who are not ready for, or would prefer to postpone, knee replacement surgery.

  • Interventional oncology: targeted, image-guided tumour therapies delivered precisely to the lesion.

  • Thoracic and pulmonary intervention: image-guided procedures of the chest and lungs.

  • Embolization therapy: non-surgical embolotherapy to control bleeding and shrink lesions through pinpoint vascular access.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Because these techniques avoid large incisions, they are usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, and many patients can return home the same day. Where GAE is appropriate, improvement in symptoms may last for several years, commonly in the region of one to five years. Recovery times and results differ from person to person, and suitability is confirmed only after clinical assessment and review of imaging.

Patients are commonly referred to him for knee osteoarthritis that no longer responds well to physiotherapy, oral medication or injections; for chronic joint and nerve pain; and for situations where a targeted, image-guided approach is preferred to open surgery. He works alongside YOUNIFY Clinic's multidisciplinary medical team, and each case is reviewed against the patient's history and imaging before any procedure is planned.

Dr. Thanakrit consults in Thai and English and regularly cares for international patients travelling to Bangkok for knee, chronic pain and image-guided treatment. Visitors from overseas are supported through YOUNIFY Clinic's medical travel pathway, from pre-arrival planning through to departure and follow-up. Every plan starts with a consultation and a review of your own imaging.
