Thailand is already famous for its medical tourism services, including affordable breast implants and liposuction.

Now word is spreading overseas of a beauty shop in Bangkok that offers non-surgical “body-slapping” treatments to improve the female figure.

A riveting Bangkok Post video takes a look at the shop that provides these treatments, which is owned by Khemmikka Na Songkhla -- aka Khunying Tobnom -- who has been practising the techniques for two decades.

The procedures include slapping a women’s breasts to make them larger, as well as buttock- and face-slapping to firm things up. According to media reports, the Thai Health Ministry carried out a six-month study on the procedure and determined the slapping technique to be legit.

So should we expect inflows of slap-happy tourists begging for Khemmikka’s treatments? Perhaps.

The video has been featured on several popular U.S. websites, including Gawker.com and The Frisky since going online over the weekend.
