Once a year ! jeez my missus is a health volunteer and visits her quota of

4-6  sick and elderly in our village every month, checks BP and temperature and their meds. 

I think she gets 2k a month for this, she started during lockdown then it was 4k a month.

Once a frigging year. I'd hardly call that 'close care'

Good grief - could they not have managed to get a slightly more flattering picture of the old girl...

Birth certificates?

Birth certificates?

In the era they were born the registration of births was often delayed and the hand-written Birth Certificates on soft paper liable to self-destruct over time. The recorded details from information supplied by parents, usually illiterate, resulted, in many cases, with no date of birth and or no month of birth being recorded only the year.

For example, my own wife, now 76 has only the Month and Year recorded. Her younger sister has only the Year recorded. Their Thai passports reflect this.

The true age of these centenials will never be known and are often exaggerated. My wife's late aunt made it to 107 but by then she was blind yet mobile.

Good luck to them.

Incredible.

No doubt there will be a rush on the lottery numbers...

The centurions were given 5000 baht once a year by the Krabi Educational Council. Such stunning generosity...

Best to the elderly woman, but I have a hard time swallowing the age number. So many here have no idea how old they are or when they were born. So I do not believe the Post.

I am of the opinion that this old lady is in fact dead, and has been for some time.  This is clearly a scam to obtain 5,000 baht each year... 🙂

Five of them were found swinging on poles at the TQ.

Having a nap?

In Canada there would be members of the medical "profession" trying to talk her into assisted suicide.  The woman holding mumzie would have her in a rear naked choke. 

may they live till 200....  thai government only spending 600 baht a month on them, not 60.000 or more ...
