A sweet honour for Auntie Tim
Life, Thana Boonlert, Published on 14/02/2023
» Kawiporn Winichthaoprathom, known as Auntie Tim, the 73-year-old owner of a self-funded animal shelter in Saraburi, has become a viral sensation since her appearance on the package of Hershey's white chocolate confectionery with cookie bits. She is the first Thai woman to join the brand's campaign celebrating women's contribution to society. Auntie Tim says she has been looking after abandoned dogs since 2003. However, lately she's had to downsize her concrete-mixing business and put her land and house up for sale to meet the challenges of caring for 1,300 dogs and 600 cats, at a cost of almost 1 million baht per month. She has received donations from King Rama X since 2021.
