Find an eatery that 1) is located in the downtown Sukhumvit area 2) is air-conditioned and well-decorated 3) charges less than 100 baht per meal and 4) has its own parking area (kerbside parking doesn't count). Not easy, right? And no, your friend's bachelor pad doesn't qualify.

Even those who somehow manage to find enough money to foot the bills must go through a long wait since the facilities and specialised doctors have limited ability. While many are waiting for their turn to receive treatment, more babies are born with life-threatening conditions.
Tasting the rainbow

» It’s instinctive, one of the most basic of our instincts. We human beings are programmed to enjoy eating because we need to nourish our bodies in order to survive.
