After 8 years of suffering, I can now live my life again.

I have been suffering from pancreatic disease since more than eight years. I visited more than nine doctors in five different countries.

Finally, we visited Prof. Thun Ingkakul, who took care of me, and explained for me my problem professionally and suggested for me a surgery, I felt very comfortable to accept the surgery because I trusted the doctor.   

After the surgery, I feel much better, and finally after eight years of suffering I can live my life normally with high life quality. I am very grateful to Pro. Thun and Bangkok hospital. “
