A key highlight is the availability of Thai costumes for rent, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of that era.

          Seniors often experience anxiety, depression, and feelings of worthlessness due to fewer opportunities to participate in activities. Therefore, when families take care of and take them out for trips, it helps seniors feel the love and care from their family. Engaging in activities together fosters good relationships between seniors and their families, boosts their spirits, and reduces anxiety. When taking seniors out, it’s essential to prepare and provide necessary conveniences, such as wheelchairs, and to closely monitor their health to ensure they can fully enjoy their outings. If you’re looking for conveniences or innovations to help seniors live happily, consider visiting InterCare Asia 2018, an event showcasing comprehensive health-related innovations, technologies, products, and services for seniors, held from July 12-14, 2018, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Hall 106, BITEC Bangna.
