Care homes in Thailand

@Bruce

Anything, even from the roadside stall, is delicious.

if I wish to squit thru the eye of a needle, then I’d rather take a laxative under controlled conditions

I’ve never been to Thailand but I do concur about Southern Asian street food in general - in Malaysia it can be very tasty and very inexpensive (<50p a portion). In all my travels in and around the country, I never once had a dose of the squits.

Your all assuming you may have the choice wether you go into a care home or not, it may be taken out of your hands, if you have dementia you will need specialist care with all the everyday things you used to do, the illness has no cure atm, and you will just deteriorate, quite quickly sometimes, so you won’t know much about what’s going on around you, not all the time anyway, or you may have mobility problems that prevent you from getting about so staying in bed watching tv may be your only option, so folks…enjoy your life now as best you can, none of us know what we will require in the future, be it in Thailand or the uk…

Primus, What you say is so true.
Live for now, treat yourself to nice things, keep your brain active and eating properly and sensibly helps a lot.

These places in Thailand will only be care homes and not nursing homes where there is a huge difference.

This sort of reminds me of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda and our waste plastic to to Turkey and Malaysia to dispose of. Using our relative wealth to export our problems to poorer countries

I think it would be dreadful to send someone with Alzheimer’s so far from home.

You’d have no way of checking on their welfare, I don’t suppose cruelty and neglect just happen in U.K. care homes?

And even if they don’t always recognise you, Alzheimer’s patients sometimes have good days when they do, and even if they don’t, feel comfort in the touch and company of someone who loves them

My dad had vascular dementia and I would have been heart broken to think of him coming to in one of his moments of clarity to find himself alone among strangers in a foreign country

I think this is just a case of out of sight, out of mind

@Muddy

I like Thai food and I like the warmth

The warmth I will agree with, but if I wish to squit thru the eye of a needle, then I’d rather take a laxative under controlled conditions

Never had the squits in Asia since I was in Afghanistan in the early 70s
