Bangkok, Thailand - A doctor told The Denver Post today he was treating John Mark Karr with hair removal in advance of sex-change surgery.
Dr. Setthakarn Attakonpan of Siam Swan Cosmetic Clinic in Bangkok said the suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey murder case first came to him March 9 for hair removal on his face, neck and cheeks.
"The reason he wanted to do hair removal was because he wanted to do a sex change," Attakonpan told The Post. "He told me he was in the process of medical treatment for cutting off his testicles."
Karr completed four treatments at the clinic, the last on July 24, medical records at the clinic show.
"He was concerned most about his sideburns," Attakonpan recalled.
The latest revelations come as another doctor in Bangkok fielded similar questions from news media amid reports he was also working with Karr on a sex- change operation.
Dr. Thep Vechavisit, who performs sex-change surgery for $1,625, told The Post he doesn't remember Karr and wouldn't say whether he was a patient.
Vechavisit, whose storefront Pratunam Polyclinic sits in the middle of the Thai capital's garment district, said he had read the news reports that Karr was one of his patients and was seeking a sex change, but Vechavisit denied he told reporters that.

The character's name is Dr. Nick Riviera.
"Normally, people facing extradition fight it. In this case, Karr seemed eager to go to the United States. This supports the idea that Karr's confession to the Ramsey murder was part of a plan escape Thai justice (though it doesn't mean he didn't do it)."
From the looks of him, they were removed some time ago.
With that, the NYT Op-Ed writers will come out fully in his defense
Yeah, but he's gonna be nick johnson........
I think we need to send him on another "palne" back to Thailand.
I've NEVER had roast duck in my life. Usually on the palnes we have taken they throw some toasted peanuts at ya. Actually, not anymore - just something to drink. Actually, is that even true any more?!
I think hubby and I are driving from now on. No "palnes" for us.
Some make out pretty good:
Still, I somehow don't think that Mr Karr will wind up as one of the Transsexual Women's Successes.

I have a dull electric hedge trimmer that they can have....................Black & [ ]ecker........
Hell, he looks just like Morrisey.
I thought that was Michael Jackson at first glance.
Really? I thought the technical term was 'transgendered'. The common sense term is 'nucking futs.'. LOL!
When all of this first broke, I read somewhere (I'll have to find the link) that his mother wanted to dress him as a girl when he was very young. If this is true, think there might have been this and a little bit more going on with him mother that set him up with some really bizarre behavior for life. I've also read that most rapists act out the hatred and violence they feel toward their mother. Applying that logic to this case - Karr targeting young girls - I can understand why he wants to abuse them through his pedophilia, and why he wants to become the "little girl" that his mother wanted him to be. But I still don't believe he murdered JonBenet. Not unless, as a fellow FReeper posted recently, John Ramsey had found a lucrative sideline in little JonBenet, and Karr wished to live the fantasy.
Wow, that's less than I paid for my new Mac dualcore notebook.
Now they tell me!! <--- obvious sick humor attempt :-)
Well that explains his boobies.
I hate the press for knowing who this guy is. Jon Benet should have been a local not national story.
You guys are just too funny! And I'm saying that with a smile lest you think I'm being sarcastic.
Kalifornicate, as you put it, is only a pit stop. Final destination....Boulder.
That's what we all thought. Got a good look of both back and front. He had a vest on underneath the shirt when he was going through the crowd. While on the plane, it was really, really noticeable. Must be why he switched to shirt and tie..because buttoning it to the top made him angry. What teacher wears a tie these days?? Sounded good for the press though.
