Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In January 2007, the Government of Thailand approved an exchange of letters with the Government of China for the construction of a traditional Thai medicine center in Phuket. China offered financial assistance and experts to oversee the construction, which was supposed to be undertaken by the Department of Development of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine. The Phuket Provincial Health Office also budgeted 30 million Baht for the center. Then, in June 2010, government officials for Thailand and China signed the Traditional Medical Center Project Design Arrangement at a cost of 6.7 million RMB. The two-story building on Phuket island was intended to offer traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Thai massage, foot treatment, as well as a meeting room, shop and restaurant.
