Actress Ama Taew Returns to Work After Health Scare

Fans across Thailand and internationally have expressed concern for actress Ama Taew Usa, known for films including "Laan Ma" and "A Letter to Ama", who recently collapsed and lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital.

She recently appeared at the "Under One Moon: Love Without Borders" mid-autumn festival celebration, smiling brightly as a new 80-year-old presenter. She has just signed a Thailand-China cooperation agreement and is preparing to take on international projects. She provided an update on her health following the collapse, and fans are looking forward to her upcoming work, as her daughter and grandson carefully screen job offers to ensure she can handle them. Ama Taew says she is ready to fight and take on whatever work comes her way.

Ama Taew explained: "My grandson and daughter oversee my work and job offers. They accept work continuously but screen heavily. They ask me if I can manage it, and if I can, I do it. As for the collapse I had, I have a doctor's appointment on day three for a follow-up. The doctor says I need two injections a year as before. My bones are still weak. Once I do what I need to, it should improve—how much depends on how I care for myself. I cannot bend; the doctor forbids it. I forget sometimes, but I'm trying to use my legs properly and cannot lift heavy things. Finally, I must not fall. I have chronic conditions common in elderly people—high cholesterol and blood pressure—which I manage with medication. I want to thank all my fans from every country for sending support. I'm grateful to all of you as fans, and especially to GDH. Without them, there would be no Ama today."

Ama Taew also revealed: "I still have international travel for award ceremony appearances. When asked if long-distance travel is an obstacle, not really—I can still fly. Additionally, my international trips these days are not very far. If it's three to four hours, I can manage it."
