When disaster strikes, we come together. And in Bangkok’s food scene, we come together over good food. Bangkok Foodies launches Meals for Myanmar (#Meals4Myanmar), a bold and heartfelt campaign to help rebuild lives after the devastating earthquakes that recently struck Myanmar. Thousands have lost their homes, and with monsoon season fast approaching, there is a critical window to provide shelter before the rains make rebuilding nearly impossible.

As of April 2025, Myanmar’s devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake has resulted in over 3,700 deaths, injured more than 5,000 individuals, and left approximately 200,000 people homeless. With the impending monsoon season approaching, there’s a short window to help rebuild.

Michelin-starred restaurants, top restaurants, producers, teachers, and creatives across Thailand have kindly donated incredible foodie experiences—think: Tasting menus for 2 with pairings. Private chef encounters, off-menu surprises, artisanal baskets, winery tours, even foodie content creation! Thanks to the generosity of the F&B donors and the foodie community, who have already expressed their willingness to help.

Bangkok Foodies has partnered with some of Thailand’s most celebrated chefs and culinary icons to create unforgettable foodie experiences, with every single baht raised going directly to trusted rebuilding efforts on the ground with SONNE (https://www.sonne-international.org/en/jochen-cycles/ ). 

All proceeds will be transferred to SONNE, a registered and verified NGO with years of experience in Myanmar, focused on education, health, and infrastructure. Currently, SONNE’s team is on the frontlines delivering emergency relief and urgently needed housing.

Confirmed chefs and restaurants include:

• Sorn – Chef “Ice” Supaksorn Jongsiri (Michelin 3 Star)

• Baan Tepa – Chef “Tam” Chudaree Debhakam (Michelin 2 Star)

• 80/20 – Chef Thav Dou Phouthavong (Michelin 1 Star)

🔹 FULL VENDOR LIST & LIVE UPDATES:
🌐  bangkokfoodies.com Discover all participating venues, updated in real-time with voucher status and drop timing.

Rather than hosting a single auction event, the campaign will follow a rolling release format: each voucher will be introduced with a teaser on the Bangkok Foodies Official Facebook group, followed by a timely announcement—now live! This staggered release gives the community time to anticipate their favourite vendors while ensuring each participating venue enjoys its moment in the spotlight. The format maintains ongoing momentum, builds excitement, and allows for new entries to be added seamlessly throughout the campaign. 

In the meantime, foodies and potential buyers can check the complete list of participating vendors and deals, updated live with each new entry, including their status—whether live, coming soon, sold, or available for auction.
