Actor and businessman Win Methawin has earned widespread praise after donating 1.5 million baht to support construction of a physiotherapy building at Mae On Hospital in Chiang Mai province. On July 15, Win appeared at a Nespresso Vertuo World event at Siam Paragon and explained in an interview that he wanted to help remote hospitals improve treatment access.

When asked why he chose physiotherapy, Win said the hospital had built several new structures for outpatient and inpatient care, and the specialized physiotherapy building was notably lacking and critically needed. He confirmed his preference for donating to projects with tangible results that he can verify, explaining that family members photographed the construction site to ensure the funds would be used properly.

Regarding his Souri brand, Win reported the business grew approximately 90 percent last year and currently operates 40 branches with ongoing international expansion discussions. He emphasized the brand's strength lies in product innovation, quality consistency, and strategic collaborations. Win said his ultimate goal is to establish Souri as a global-standard Thai brand capable of competing on the world stage. When asked about personal luxuries like a private jet, he laughed and said he is still saving toward that goal.
