G.O.OD Health G.O.O.D Service

Sheraton Pattaya Resort held its first G.O.O.D Health G.O.O.D Service event on September 16th 2008, where associates could sell their products beneficial to health to each other and guests. Not only healthy products from associates but also from vendors. The product range included handmade-birth gem stones, healthy food, herbal drinks, fresh extracted fruit & vegetable juices, bingo game and more.

Apart from entertaining activities, there was a Tuberculosis (TB) Awareness training. The training purposed to create awareness among associates as it is considered one of the most fetal disease causing death easily through the air.

Associates were generously donated all money generated from the selling to the Community Donation Fund. Even though it was not counted a million, it was worth for people who starved from hunger!

Associates generously supported the event and the enjoyment shared by all continued until the late afternoon.

Belong to SPR Family

Our associates may sometimes forget what they are told, but they never forget how we make them feel. That’s why we always treat them as we would like to be treated ourselves.

Care for Community
