Rama Drama 19th Charity Play: A Clash of Science and Belief
Third-year medical students from Ramathibodi Hospital are hosting their 19th annual charity play, 'Wet-Sat-Tra', to raise funds for hospital development.
Third-year medical students from the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, have announced the 19th edition of their annual charity stage play, titled 'Wet-Sat-Tra'. According to Khaosod Online, the production explores the tension between modern medical science and traditional beliefs, set in the remote village of Khok Mok Kham in 1973. The story follows a conflict between a traditional healer and her brother, a doctor trained in modern medicine, as they navigate a crisis in their community.
For residents and visitors, this event offers a unique opportunity to support local arts while contributing to a significant cause. Proceeds from the play, after expenses, will be donated to the Ramathibodi Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. The funds are designated for the construction of new hospital facilities and the Yothi Medical Innovation District, aimed at enhancing patient care and medical education research.
While the play promises an engaging narrative, specific performance dates and ticket availability details were not fully detailed in the initial announcement. Those interested in attending or supporting the initiative should monitor official channels from the Ramathibodi Faculty of Medicine for further updates regarding showtimes and booking procedures. This event highlights the intersection of Thai cultural heritage and the evolving landscape of modern healthcare in Thailand.
