Sadly the Thai equivalent of NHS is only for poor people like in the USA who do not want to go and use the many private hospitals (the irony in the film is the woman has has millions in her property but the family members have too much interest in their potential inheritance).

The other sad cultural aspect is parents often leaving estates to their sons not daughters. There is an early scene in the film where Grandma approaches her brother to whom all the family estate was left and he refuses to help her.

The Chinese family connection explains why the great wish is to be buried in a graveyard plot(as finally happens courtesy of her grandson). Most Thais being Buddhist are usually cremated and the ashes kept in an urn in the family home.
