Article Photos: Biases on beauty draw Thais to illegal surgery



  In this photo taken Thursday, Oct. 11 2012, Jiratha Saraban, 37, an unlicensed practitioner, is watched by two plainclothes police officers during a raid at her house that is used as a backdoor beautician clinic in Bangkok. Thailand is swarming with cheap but risky cosmetic clinics. The death this month of a 33-year-old aspiring model from a botched collagen injection has focused nationwide attention on the illegal beauty industry and intensified a government crackdown.
