The Devasom Happy Bus returned this holiday season to bring Christmas joy to 69 young students at Phang Nga School For Life, who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to celebrate at home. Together with the Khao Lak community and resort guests, Devasom Khao Lak Beach Resort & Villas brought holiday memories that every child deserves to experience.
The spaceship-themed Happy Bus arrived at the school filled with festive surprises. Children were greeted by Santa Claus and space-inspired cartoon characters who distributed gifts and led engaging activities. The celebration featured a magic show, fresh popcorn, and cotton candy, filling the air with laughter and joy. The children's bright smiles reflected the true spirit of community and sharing that defines the season.
"Giving back to the local community has always been one of our key sustainability pillars at Devasom," said Is Atirak, Co-founder of Devasom Resorts and General Manager at Devasom Khao Lak. "Seeing these children's smiles, especially those who rarely get to celebrate Christmas, makes the Happy Bus one of our most meaningful traditions."
Phang Nga School For Life provides a nurturing home and education for disadvantaged and orphaned children in Thailand. The school's family-structured environment, led by dedicated mentors, offers education through junior high school levels, preparing students to become valued individuals and contributing members of society.
