Anemia is quite prevalent in Thai females.

Common in Thai girls from up country as they do not tend to regularly eat a diet which is high in iron content and only frequently eat Beef (red meat) and rarely eat spinach, broccoli and the like. Although some do eat liver which has a high iron content.

Still if she is in Oz, suggest to her to slightly change the diet.

Yeah, I’ve heard of similar struggles. It’s not just a Thai thing—iron levels can be tricky for a lot of people, especially if their diet doesn’t have enough iron-rich foods like red meat. I know some Thai dishes focus more on fish or vegetables, which can be lower in iron. Maybe she could try adding more iron-rich foods like spinach, tofu, or beans, or even consider supplements if her doctor suggests it. It might also be worth getting her checked for anemia, just to rule out any health issues.
