Meet the woman who doctors believe has the ‘world’s biggest hands’ – weighing almost six and a half kg each.
For more than 50 years, shop owner Duangjay Samaksamam, from Surin Province, Thailand, has suffered from an extremely rare and painful affliction that leaves her limbs permanently swollen.
Moving can be very painful and even the simplest tasks, such as washing and combing her hair, are extremely difficult for the single 59-year-old.
Embarrassed by her condition, Duangjay spent the first 20 years of her life as a recluse, ashamed of the way she looked, so she never went to school.
But she was forced to come out of hiding to earn a living in order to care for her elderly parents and take over running the family grocery shop.
