A unique service offering has taken Thailand by storm after a man named Anon and his friends introduced a "hired relatives" option for university graduates whose families can't attend their commencement ceremonies. This innovative idea quickly caught the attention of Thai social media users, sparking widespread discussion and intrigue.

 

Anon, through his Facebook account, announced that he and a group of five friends—comprised of four women and one man—are available to stand in as family members. For 400 baht per hour, these "relatives" not only attend the ceremony but also bring gifts or flowers and provide the emotional support that one might expect from actual family members.

 

The post resonated with many, having garnered over 7,500 likes, upwards of 300 comments, and more than 4,000 shares by Thursday afternoon. This viral trend highlights the creative ways people are adapting to social changes and finding solutions for those who seek companionship and support during significant life events.
