BANGKOK -- Thailand's richest man has announced that his company will produce a traditional herbal remedy to treat symptoms of COVID-19 as the country grapples with a devastating third wave of infections.
Dhanin Chearavanont, senior chairman of top Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group, said this week that he is setting aside about 100 rai (16 hectares) of CP Group's land in Saraburi Province to grow fah talai jone. The herb is used to make an anti-inflammatory drug recently approved by the health ministry to treat coronavirus patients.
