Muay Thai fighter Buakaw Banchamek and Charoen Pokphand Foods Plc ( CPF ) have collaborated to create” Moo Deng” Muay Thai shorts for charity.
On Monday, Buakaw Banchamek spoke in an exclusive interview with the Bangkok Post about how he and CPF collaborated on the “CPxMooDengxBuakaw” venture.
He claimed that the job incorporates MooDeng, a well-known pygmy hippo from Khao Kheow Open Zoo, and two of Thailand’s most adored soft energy pathways into a distinctive donation strategy.
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo opened the initiative on December 8, 2024.
The unique Moo Deng Muay Thai clothes were created by CPF and the Thailand’s Zoological Park Organization to raise money for the project” Moo Deng Helps Flood Victims and Cares for Canine Associates.” An auction was held at the occasion, which attracted both Thai and foreign supporters and raised more than 1.39 million baht.
” It’s a pleasure to be a part of this project. It promotes Muay Thai as well as aiding animals and people in want. Additionally, all the money goes without any conclusions instantly to charities,” Buakaw said.
He emphasized that this plan embodies Thai culture’s capacity to influence people around the world.
For 899 baht, the special Moo Deng Muay Thai shorts can be purchased online or at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in three sizes ( S/M/L ). Additionally, limited-edition, individualized shorts were offered for sale at a live-streaming event, where they received passionate feedback.
