Bussaya Satirapipatkul, Head of Customer & Service Management at AIS said, “In the new wave of Covid, in which infection numbers are very worrying, one way Thai people can help deal with this situation is to stay at home to reduce contact and spread of infection. One essential for staying at home is a food menu with variety at a reasonable cost, from shops that they trust. This is how AIS came to cooperate with five leading food delivery brands, Grab, foodpanda, LINE MAN Wongnai, Gojek and Robinhood, to give AIS customers special privileges from tasty dishes. They will earn privileges when ordering from all five delivery providers, whose combined network covers over 300,000 participating outlets nationwide, and can just redeem AIS Points for a discount of up to 60 baht. Customers can redeem privileges easily through our myAIS app from today onwards.
