Mandalay Food House in Bangkok has transformed into a fundraising hub, asking customers to donate to a fund for Myanmar activists protesting the recent military coup instead of paying for meals.
Owner Sai Lao Mai initiated this effort, successfully raising nearly $2,000 in five days to support compatriots opposing the power seizure from Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government.
The restaurant fosters community solidarity, attracting diners who wear NLD party symbols and use the space to organize and express their nonviolent resistance through lawful means from Thailand.
