Creating Joy Through Healthy Drinks
On 30 November 2025, Pratthanadee Foundation hosted the 2nd Better Me Connect session, welcoming 14 women to a hands-on Non-Alcoholic Drinks Workshop at our Bangkok office. Mai Vannaying, Director at Akara Bangkok and a Pratthanadee Foundation volunteer, brought a team of beverage specialists from the hotel to lead the session. The team introduced participants to creative, refreshing, and easy-to-make drink recipes.
The workshop encouraged women to explore healthy alternatives to alcohol while enjoying a relaxed, fun, and pressure-free learning environment. Participants mixed, tasted, and shared drinks together, creating an atmosphere of curiosity, laughter, and connection. For many, it was also a rare moment of self-care — time to slow down and enjoy something just for themselves.
What Participants Shared
Feedback from the session was exceptionally positive, with:
- 100% reporting new learning and overall satisfaction
- 93% feeling confident they could apply the recipes in daily life
- 100% feeling the space was safe, friendly, and comfortable
- 93% feeling stronger connection and friendships with others
Participants described the session as fun, joyful, and practical. Many shared that they could use the drink recipes at home, at work, or during social events.
Moving Forward
This session showed how simple, practical skills, when shared in a supportive community, can build confidence, encourage healthier choices, and strengthen social bonds. The Non-Alcoholic Drinks Workshop was not just about making drinks — it was about empowerment, connection, and creating moments of joy.
The Better Me Connect series continues to offer women opportunities to learn, relax, and grow together in meaningful and accessible ways.
