In the sweltering heat of Bangkok’s Khlong San District, 51-year-old Bancha Panniwat and his volunteer army are battling COVID-19 one spray bottle at a time. Meet the Thais for Thais group – everyday heroes turning sweat into solutions for their community.
Using funds from Panniwat’s personal savings, the team bought disinfectants and spray machines to protect vulnerable neighborhoods. From sanitizing streets to distributing food parcels, these volunteers work overtime in suffocating PPE suits while Thailand’s tropical sun beats down. \"We won’t stop until everyone feels safe again,\" Panniwat says, embodying the group’s tireless spirit.
Their mission focuses on low-income areas where social distancing is a luxury many can’t afford. Through temperature-check booths and DIY hand sanitizer stations, they’re creating a safety net for those left behind. Could this grassroots movement inspire similar efforts worldwide?
