Panicha Thananaken, Country Manager of Traveloka Thailand, stated, "Traveloka is committed to helping Thai society fight the spread of COVID-19. In response, we launched the 'Stay Home First, Then Explore the World' campaign, to not only create holiday vibes for Thai users who have been longing for travel and sightseeing while staying safe in their homes, but to also create an opportunity to help the homeless affected by the pandemic so that they can feel at home again. Today, we are grateful to see the great results of this joint effort with a total of THB 100,000 generated from airfare purchases within a two-week period in June, which went towards 1,000 Pun Sook bags. I would like to extend my gratitude to all of our customers who took part and made a difference in this good faith initiative."
Wilaiwan Luangya, Director of the Issarachon Foundation, said, "We really appreciate Traveloka's support to those who need help during this tough time. A total of 1,000 Pun Sook bags containing essential needs such as food supplies, personal care products, medicine, and clothing will be distributed in numerous areas around Bangkok, providing an important survival kit that can hopefully lighten the burden on the homeless. Let's continue to work together by providing valuable contributions to society and battling this pandemic."
Partnering with the Issarachon Foundation, the first batch of bags filled with essential supplies were gradually distributed to the homeless who have been impacted by the pandemic in areas around Bangkok, such as Rajdamnern Avenue, Democracy Monument, Wang Burapha, Victory Monument, Rajvidhi, and the Trok Sake community.
