Bangkok, October 16, 2026 – Happiness in daily life starts with simple pleasures like a favorite dish, sharing its taste, and receiving value in return. True Corporation, represented by Jakrapong Dundhai, head of customer relations and privileges, and Narongsak Sangsangwal, specialist in marketing and customer relations, joined forces with Coca‑Cola, represented by Suppatra Pitiya..., assistant managing director – Customer Marketing, and Phattharaphon Saengkaeo, manager of Traditional Trade marketing. Together they introduced the “Delicious Fizzy Points” campaign to give every meal more meaning, inviting True and DTAC customers to discover nearby tasty spots and earn points or coins immediately when they photograph their food with Coke and scan the QR code at over 18,240 participating restaurants nationwide.

The campaign promotes the idea of “full stomach, full points, full heart,” delivering both deliciousness and added value while encouraging people to experience the charm of local eateries—from familiar neighborhood shops to places they have wanted to try.

True users receive 5 TruePoints instantly; DTAC users receive 10 DTAC coins, which can be redeemed for various benefits. The offer is limited to one right per day, with a maximum of ten rights throughout the campaign period, which runs from today to February 28, 2027, under the stated conditions. Every delicious meal thus becomes another chance to enjoy “full stomach, full points, full heart.”
