Bangkok is the centre of Thailand's prosperity and offers many opportunities for a better life. But what does the city offer those close to the end of life?
Peaceful Death is holding "Death And The City", an online seminar based on research about the care of terminally-ill patients and the death of poor people living in the Klong San area of Bangkok, on Saturday from 2-4pm.
Dr Prachatip Kata, a lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Faculty of Social Science, Kasetsart University, will address palliative care and end of life for city-dwellers and share what we are going to face during the last stages of life and what we can do to help each other.
Wayo Assawarungruang, aka Mor Geng, a physician-cum-MP from the Move Forward Party, will give his perspectives on the issue and offer guidelines on how to develop a better quality of dying for Bangkok's poor.
Other speakers include Assoc Prof Dr Pavika Sriratanaban from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Political Science, who initiated the Rest in Peace study; and Siriporn Phromwong aka Khru Am from the Klong Toey Dechung group, who is a co-ordinator in the Klong Toey community during the Covid-19 situation. Acting as moderator will be TV host Chonlanat Koaykul.
The seminar will be streamed live via facebook.com/peacefuldeath2011. Peaceful Death is a group of people whose mission is to promote wellness and a peaceful death.
