Mor Saeng, whose real name is Saengchai Haelerttrakul, has never received formal training as a physician, but he is widely referred to as “Mor”, which means “doctor” in Thai, because of the herbal concoctions that he hands out. Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine director-general Kiattibhoom Vongrachit endorsed the certification for Saengchai as soon as he received required documents on Wednesday morning. “Because he has already submitted all required documents, the certification process is complete,” the department’s deputy director-general Dr Pramote Stienrat said. “But you may go for alternative treatments if surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy do not provide satisfactory results. It will be good if alternative medicine boosts your morale or quality of life,” he said.
