Help Kittisak restart a barbershop in Chiang Mai after floodwater
Kittisak has run a barbershop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand1,046 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Chiang Mai. In May, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $850 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kittisak!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors comes first ($570) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Bergamo donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kittisak?
Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 36 people at work. Love from Hải Phòng.
rooting for you, Kittisak. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
stay strong, Kittisak. This could happen to any of us.
how is Kittisak doing now?
Small businesses are the heart of Chiang Mai. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending good thoughts, Kittisak. Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Keep going, Kittisak. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
thanks for sharing this, Kittisak. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Kittisak. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Kyiv so I could bring a meal
