Father selling house to pay for seriously injured daughter’s care
The elderly father of a 26-year-old female doctor – who has been in a coma since January 6, after her car was involved in a collision in Phayao’s jun district – is selling his home in Bangkok for Bt2.5 million to fund his daughter’s long-term care.
Widower Narin Manakasetthan said that the house on Nimitmai Road in Klong Sam Wa district was meant to be an inheritance for Dr Chanoksuda Manakasetthan, who was transferred to Chiang Mai's Maharat Hospital two months ago.
"It's a pity that my daughter had studied so hard for six years to be a doctor and she only worked as doctor for two years when she is seriously wounded in the accident. It pains my heart to see her like this and I will do anything to help her to live her life again like before," he said.
He said he had been both father and mother to Chanoksuda since his wife died. "I hope one day my daughter will recover," he said.
Narin said anybody interested in buying the house can contact his friend, named Monlanee, in Bangkok at 095-516-8855. It is difficult for him to take calls because he has to be with his daughter in Chiang Mai.
He also thanked everybody who has given the family morale support.
Since Narin announced he would have to sell his house, without asking for donations, more than 10,000 people have shared his post on Thai social media.
