Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok Unites Animal Lovers for A Greater Good
Celebrating The Voice Foundation’s 14th Anniversary and exclusive launch of “Jorn Mai Jeb” and Human Kind Society at CRAFT
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok’s CRAFT Terrace played host to an afternoon of purpose and celebration as Chollada “Kae” Mekratri Sirisant, model, actress and television host turned founder of The Voice Foundation (มูลนิธิเดอะวอยซ์ เสียงจากเรา), marked the foundation’s 14th anniversary surrounded by Thailand’s most beloved animal influencers, animal advocates and supporters.
Over 14 years, Chollada has built a nationwide movement advocating for stray, abused, and wounded animals through shelter, adoption, sterilization services, and public education on responsible pet ownership. An on-stage interview offered attendees a candid look at her journey — the milestones reached and the conviction that has kept the foundation going.
The event introduced a special cohort of 14 “Friends of the Voice 2026”, consisting of Thailand’s most-followed animal personalities known across social media as @aivygoodcat, @bellaandmetang, @bigmootoo, @diak_dachshund, @gg.chatt, @jk_labrador, @mc.nrs, @mha.mahamek, @neow_mued, @omkoithemountaindog, @stevejibs_goldenretriever, @tama.theshiba, @thesamoyed.journey, @tony_thecatsdaddy, chosen to help amplify the foundation’s mission to their combined audience of millions.
The afternoon also marked the launch of a fundraising campaign on Taejai.com under the name “Jorn Mai Jeb” (จรไม่เจ็บ), channelling donations directly into the foundation’s emergency fund for strays experiencing accidents. Chollada further unveiled Human Kind Society, a new social enterprise to support the foundation, alongside its debut product collaboration with Thai fashion brand Maison de Auri. The event closed with a cake-cutting ceremony — pet-friendly of course — to celebrate 14 years of impact.
For Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, this partnership was a natural one. General Manager Patrick Both shared: “At Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, we have always believed that our pets are not just welcome — they are part of the family. Hosting The Voice Foundation’s 14th anniversary here felt right. Their work embodies the kind of heart-led mission that resonates with us, and we are proud to stand alongside them and all Friends of the Voice in amplifying a cause that deserves every platform it can get.”
