Thai Airways recently flew to Attapeu, Laos, to transport donated goods to the people of Attapeu after a disastrous flood earlier this year. Thai Airways partnered with the Royal Thai Embassy Vientiane, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Thai Customs Department in gathering and delivering the donations to the victims of the flood.
After the donations were collected and loaded onto the Thai Airways Cargo plane, the airline flew from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to deliver them to the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare in Laos, who then distributed them to the flood victims in Attapeu.
