Press for Progress: Khun Soi's Story

Press for Progress: Khun Soi's Story


Khun Soi’s story is an embodiment of love and commitment. Khun Soi started working with IPLUSQ - our lab partner - since 12 years ago, making sure that all sticker labels are correctly printed and pasted on all our bottles.

At an age of 60, Khun Soi’s decision to continue working at IPLUSQ is clear - to serve as the breadwinner of the family to support her husband. Khun Soi’s husband was unable to work after his health conditions deteriorated during this work in the construction field. This incident led to Khun Soi pursuing a career at IPLUSQ and taking the role to support her husband.

"I need to step up and be present for him in times like this."


“I need to step up and be present for him in times like this. To have the willingness and commitment to lead and fight for your loved ones when they are unable to.” Khun Soi’s dedication to being a source of support for her husband can be seen in her acts of service where she also makes sure to prepare meals for her husband during breakfast, lunch and dinner. She displays female empowerment from a place of selflessness and unrelenting resilience.

Khun Soi has inspired us that female empowerment may not come in big successes, but the attitude that women carry to face their different trials and challenges. For Khun Soi, she constantly chose tenacity and hope over despair and defeat. This March, we hope to manifest the truth that we are our own empowered person, and we have the power to choose our thoughts and attitudes everyday.

In light of 2018’s International Women’s Day theme “Press for Progress”, we are honouring the Thai female makers behind our products. They share with us their life journey, inspirations and what keeps them pushing on for a better future, especially during trying times. This campaign has inspired us that female empowerment happens in a series of small milestones and victories that can be already be found in our every day.
