On a Sunday morning earlier this month, five friends from Bangkok stepped through the marble lobby of the Studio City Hotel in Macau – the kind of place better known for gaming tables and stage shows than medical check-ups.
Instead, they were heading to iRad Hospital, tucked inside the resort complex, for a round of beauty treatments and wellness sessions.
The women – Kwaisun Panchasarp, Nantanat Tejavibulya, Buyasakorn De Jesus and two friends – were in town with their families to catch the NBA Games and enjoy their first holiday together since the pandemic.
“This visit to iRad wasn’t planned at all,” said Nantanat. “I’d read about it online and thought it would be some nice ‘me time’ for us.”
Kwaisun, also a patient at iRad’s Hong Kong clinic, said she was struck by how calm and welcoming the Macau branch felt.
“We just wanted to relax and have some treatments,” she said. “When we come to Macau, we usually enjoy the food and the atmosphere – but now we also have iRad.”
