Build affordable options for the country's elderlyAt first glance, I thought the latest elderly care facility, the Senior Complex Project initiated by the Treasury Department and Ramathibodi Hospital, would be an ideal facility for Thailand's ageing society. It will be in line with the government's response to Thailand's ageing society and will have facilities and medical services from a nearby hospital. But the price, at 1.83 million baht plus a monthly 30,000 baht fee, is not so friendly. But, at those prices, it can cater to only a small portion of Thailand's ageing population. The remainder of the elderly population, which accounts for a significant amount of Thailand's overall population -- what will they do?
