Dr. Song Noparat, a renowned surgeon, and his wife, fashion influencer On Somruethai, recounted being trapped in their home for four days as floodwaters rose, craving instant noodles and canned fish that were unavailable. After the waters receded, they used a high‑clearance pickup truck to leave the house, only to find convenience stores stripped of supplies. They then contacted the Sahapat company directly, securing large quantities of instant noodles and canned fish shipped from Chonburi, which they delivered along with drinking water and a cash donation to flood victims. The couple said they chose to donate through the Nation news outlet for convenience, noting they have regularly supported flood relief efforts in the North, South, and now Bangkok. They urged affected residents to stay safe and expressed hope that the situation would improve quickly, emphasizing that Thais do not abandon one another in hardship.
