In the same time, the guests can leave their children at the kid’s corner which provided by Kid’s Birthday BKK so the parents can spend time looking on the things to buy.
Painting is a must for all children, even adults sometimes

Our donation items are mostly collected by Moxy and all of them were transported from Camillian Home to Dusit Thani Bangkok by Asian Tigers Mobility. Asian Tigers also sponsored us by offering their shopping bags so our shoppers can put all their things back home conveniently.
