With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Ae, a beloved member of our Thip Khao family. He was one of our core team who had been with us since the very beginning. Ae was deeply loyal, incredibly hardworking, and one of the kindest people we had the privilege to know and work alongside. Our team and I are heartbroken by his sudden loss.

In mid-April, Ae became seriously ill and within two weeks he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While traveling back home to Thailand to be with his family, he peacefully passed away during his journey. His resting soul is currently in Seoul, Korea as arrangements are being made to transport him to his hometown of Lampang, Thailand.

The financial burden on his family has become overwhelming. The cost of transport, funeral arrangements and medical expenses are well over $25,000. We are asking our community, friends, and loved ones to come together to support Ae’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial strain and honor Ae’s memory with dignity and care.

On behalf of Ae's wife Ann, his daughter, Promtan family and our entire Thip Khao family, we thank you for your love, prayers, and support.
