Seven stories highlight the brand’s long-standing connection with Thai communities, local culture, and generations of consumers.
Bangkok, 21 April 2026 – The Coca-Cola system in Thailand—Coca-Cola (Thailand) Ltd., ThaiNamthip Corporation PLC, and HaadThip PCL—is celebrating 77 years of Coca-Cola in Thailand, marking the brand’s first bottle sold in the country in 1949. The milestone reflects the brand’s long-standing connection with Thai consumers and communities.
To commemorate the anniversary, the company has launched “Fizz That Never Fades,” a 77-year storytelling platform celebrating the people, partnerships, and moments that have shaped Coca-Cola’s journey in Thailand for the past seven decades. Through on-ground experiences, digital storytelling, and seven content collaborations with leading media and creators, the campaign reflects how Coca-Cola has grown alongside Thailand across generations.
Reetima Rakyan, Vice President and General Manager for Thailand, said: “For 77 years, Coca-Cola has been part of everyday life in Thailand, growing alongside local communities, consumers, and trade partners across generations. From neighborhood mom-and-pop stores to restaurants that trust our beverages every day, these relationships have shaped our journey. Over the years, we’ve seen youth players from the ‘Coke® Cup’ rise to the national stage, artists who debuted on the Coke Music Awards platform grow into nationally recognized performers, and communities working with us and our partners to improve local water resources. These stories reflect the people, partnerships, and shared experiences that continue to shape Coca-Cola’s presence in Thailand.”
To mark the anniversary, Coca-Cola Thailand has launched a series of on ground and online experiences, beginning with a special activation that recreated a neighborhood “Coke” shop from two different eras during the Thai New Year celebration at “Coca-Cola Presents Songkran Siam 2026.”
As part of the anniversary celebration, Coca-Cola is also honoring the people and moments that have shaped the brand’s story in Thailand. Seven stories capture the connection between “Coke” and Thai people, told through the perspectives of leading media and creators:
