PHUKET: What started as a small effort by Jens and Khun Arttie, to do what they could for the people in Cherng Talay, who are without any means to support themselves due to the COVID restrictions, has bloomed into a major source of support for many of those suffering in the area, and now provides at least 250 meals a day, as well as relief packages once a week.

 

People start queuing in front of the The Corner Restaurant near Boat Avenue in the heart of Cherng Talay at about 3:30pm each day, willing to wait an hour and a half for the food and drinks to be handed out.

 

Jens Klein, who opened the restaurant together with his partner Khun Arttie some seven years ago, explained that they started with one small table and just 40 meals that they had prepared to hand out. “The food was gone within a minute,” he recalled.
