Costly con: A Thai woman showing the ‘healing card’ which she bought for 2,000 baht (RM265). — The Nation/ Asia News Network
Bangkok: Khon Kaen provincial public health official Peera Areerat has warned people against buying a so-called “plastic healing card” as it has no miraculous healing powers or the ability to soothe aches.
This so-called healing card has proved to be a big hit in Ubol Rattana district’s Ban Saladin, with people willing to pay 1,100 baht to 1,500 baht (RM146 to RM199) in exchange for the promise of pain relief.
