According to the press release, “summer is always special for Thai people – especially during the Songkran holidays, which is an occasion for everyone to share good times and good feelings with each other.”
There will be a ‘Share A Coke Challenge’ to be launched in partnership with the TikTok application on 14 March 2020. ‘Coca-Cola’ has also released a special theme song called ‘Where is My Name?’, performed by the well-known teen hip-hop artist UrboyTJ.
