When health becomes the new status symbol
BitesizeBKK, Published on 02/10/2025
» Nowadays, there’s an expensive price tag and a high social currency associated with wellness and longevity. The latter already sparked a viral online debate in Thailand mere weeks ago, with thought leaders and influencers sharing their interpretation of longevity, and whether it’s turned into a measure of wealth, therefore creating pressure for the aspiring class and demanding you keep up appearances by investing in ice baths, wearing tech devices and measuring your sleep quality. Whilst advocating for wellness is all well and good, there are more ways to live a balanced life than constantly quantifying and tracking your wearables.

Towering over this peaceful cocoon are discreet but impressive plaster panels textured with curving stripes. These are not sand dune lines, but Thanphuying Lursakdi Sampatisiri's enlarged fingerprints -- a tribute to the hotel founder's grandmother and forward-thinking matriarch that has shaped Bangkok's Nai Lert Park today.

Revolutionising Skin Cancer Screening at Samitivej Sukhumvit

Melanoma is more prevalent in men and fair-skinned populations, particularly Caucasians. Although rare in Thais, melanoma develops from abnormalities in pigment-producing cells (melanocytes), often caused by excessive UV exposure. Early detection and treatment significantly enhance survival rates, with a 99% chance of recovery if diagnosed at an early stage.
