7 October 2026
KANCHANABURI — 7 October 2026, Thailand’s Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) has ordered the closure of an elderly care center in Kanchanaburi where metal cages were found covering patients’ beds, officials said.
Speaking on the TV program Hone Krasae, Dr Akom Praditsuwan, deputy director-general of the DHSS, said authorities had begun removing residents from the center and arranging appropriate care for them.
Residents whose families want to take them home will be allowed to return to their families, while those who need continued care will be transferred to other facilities that meet required standards. Residents who have nowhere to go will be taken into the care of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.
