Panthera Group, Thailand’s largest operator of bars, clubs and restaurants, in June continued its drive to feed waitresses, bartenders, cleaners, DJs, dancers and blue-collar workers dependent on the country’s shuttered nightlife industry.
On June 10, Panthera dispensed 6,000 tons of food and necessities from its landmark Nana Plaza entertainment complex on Sukhumvit Soi 4 to 1,058 people.
The survival bags were stuffed with a total of more than 5,000 kilograms of rice, 40,000-plus eggs, 6,000 tins of canned food, 2,000 bottles of cooking oils, 20,000 packs of instant noodles. This month, the third consecutive in which Panthera has mounted a relief effort, the bags also included other vital personal care items such as soap, Tylenol, quality shampoo, toothpaste, baby powder, and sanitary items.
