Ng, a 27-year-old Singaporean, used to travel to neighbouring Malaysia three times a year for skin tightening treatments as well as Botox and filler injections. Sometimes she would venture even farther, to Thailand.
“The prices are cheaper in Johor Bahru and I also do my shopping there. For Bangkok, it’s more like a holiday and I will usually do some treatments at the same time,” said Ng, who estimated the costs compared to Singapore are 30 per cent cheaper in Malaysia and 20 per cent in Thailand.
