Community 11-Year-Old Thai Boy Weighing Over 150kg Dies After Month-Long Hospitalisation
Two years ago, I was given a month and a half to explore the area around Sakon Nakhon Hospital. I didn’t ask for it. It wasn’t a planned holiday. Most people who find themselves headed to Sakon Nakhon under such circumstances aren’t going to celebrate—they’re facing the very real possibility of saying goodbye to someone they love. During that time, I came to know the place—and the ICU—intimately. I spoke with other visitors in nearby rooms, all gathered near an enormous parking lot lit at night by solar-powered lights. A strange stillness settles over it after dark, a quiet that speaks louder than words. I loved the two buffalo that wandered freely through the lot—calm, slow-moving reminders that life doesn’t stop, even when yours feels like it’s been put on hold. From what I saw and felt during those weeks, I believe the absence of Phum’s grandparents at his bedside in his final days was not a sign of neglect or indifference. More likely, it reflected the harsh realities of rural poverty. It’s easy to misread absence as a lack of care, but in places like this, absence often hides a deeper kind of love—one weighed down by distance, by cost, by the sheer burden of survival. Where life and hardship intersect, compassion requires more than a glance. It calls for understanding. -
