[webfact]

 

The owner of a pork leg stew with rice (khao khamu) shop and her daughter, in Bangkok’s Bang Kapi area, have recently been praised on social media after they offered free khao khamu to workers who were clearing the clogged drainage system in heavy rain.

 

A 49-second video clip, featuring workers walking to their shop to eat, was recently posted on TikTok and quickly registered over 300,000 views. The clip was also widely shared on Facebook.

 

The daughter, Pattama Leela-udomwit, told Thai PBS Online that the free lunch offer took place on a rainy day when her mother told her to invite some of the workers to the shop for a free meal, after she realised that they appeared to be looking to find a place to eat.

The daughter is a very shrewd marketing master.
