A Thai Grab delivery rider has won hearts on social media after working for 31 consecutive days without taking a day off, earning 70,074 baht (approximately US$2,100) to cover childbirth expenses and prepare for the arrival of his baby.
The expectant father, who runs the TikTok account “Rider in Love ไรเดอร์คลั่งรัก”, shared a video celebrating the completion of his month-long challenge, having narrowly exceeded his original target of 70,000 baht.
“Day 31, mission complete,” he wrote, explaining that he had spent an entire month working without a break to save money for his child’s birth and future expenses.
“Daddy did it for you, my little one,” he added.
The video attracted numerous congratulatory messages from social media users, many of whom praised his determination and dedication to his growing family.
However, some viewers were surprised by the amount he had earned, with one asking whether Grab riders could normally make that much money.
The father explained that his earnings were higher than usual because additional bonuses had been offered following recent flooding.
“Normally, I might earn a little less than this. After the floods, the bonuses were slightly higher,” he replied.
He also revealed the demanding schedule behind his achievement.
He said he began working at 6.00 each morning and continued until 23.00 or as late as 1.00 the following morning, sometimes working until midnight, without taking a single day off throughout the 31-day period.
His story has drawn attention online, with many expressing admiration for his efforts to provide financial security for his child before birth.
