For Dr. Pakpilai Thavisin, the quest to bridge the gap between Western and holistic medicine is personal.
Now president of Bangkok’s S Medical Spa, Thavisin began her career as a dermatologist more than 25 years ago. But when a pair of unfortunate health events shook her family early last decade, she began to question the very foundation of medical knowledge on which she built her career. “I remember,” she said, “when my brother became sick with pancreatic cancer–an incurable cancer, which they don’t understand and can’t treat. He was becoming so thin as he struggled through the sickness and I remember asking the doctor what to feed him. ‘Cakes,’ he said. ‘Candies. Sweets, fats, junk food.’”

Dissatisfied with the care her brother was receiving, she began investigating more traditional medicine and found out something shocking. “When we gave him all those unhealthy foods–under the advisement of his doctor–we were actually feeding the tumor, which thrives on sugars and fats.” Around the same time, her mother fell ill with multiply myeloma, a malignant disorder which renders bone marrow functionless.

Loy Krathong, though it sounds foreign, I had no clue to what actually happened at this massive festival held throughout Thailand on the full moon of the 12th month according to the lunar calendar. I knew that people would light lanterns and float them into the skies but only though magazines and newspapers so when I was told that today would be the day I will witness this first hand, I was all excited.
While today was my official first day of the Medblog Contest here in Thailand, we were treated to a fabulous dinner organised by Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) at one of the famous restaurants along the Chow Phraya River. Getting here was a little adventure as after the van had picked the entourage from the respective hotels, we were sent to a jetty to take a boat across the Chow Phraya river to the restaurant. Called the Supatra River House, this well designed award winning restaurant served out authentic Thai Cuisine with a great river view.
Judging from the manager who greeted us on arrival, I expected the place to be a little upmarket and it was indeed a stylish establishment. We were met by the local TAT representatives at the restaurant and was taken on a tour around the place before adjourning upstairs to a special room with a private viewing deck.
