Yep, you read that right, folks. As the entire world comes to grasps with our new COVID-19 realities, many of us are struggling to keep our spirits high. Lucky for us, this Thai restaurant is about to do just that - all while satisfying our bellies.
Natthwut Rodchanapanthkul, the owner of Bangkok’s Vietnamese restaurant Maison Saigon, has just welcomed the most unlikely of guests into his cozy eatery: pandas.
That's right, thanks to our new social distancing rules, you can now enjoy the company of our furry friends as you dine on your favorite dishes.
"Earlier, we had only one chair for the tables where the customer came alone. But for me, it felt strange, so I thought I’d give them some company," Rodchanapanthkul explained to Reuters.
"The Maison Saigon is now open for eating!! Come alone, as a couple or as a whole family," the restaurant shared on their Instagram account.
Of course, it's no surprise that their uplifting deed has gone over pretty well with comforted customers: "The doll makes me feel less lonely eating by myself," one diner, Sawit Chaiphuek said.
