AsiaWebDirect.com, a leading online travel specialist in Asia, on Friday (2 July 2010) donated a sum of THB99,000 to the Together We Can fund from a one-week fundraising campaign run through their accommodation booking website.

Bangkok, the 6th of July 2010: This sum of money was raised between 23 and 29 June, during which time US$1 was set aside from every hotel booking made on AsiaWebDirect.com and its supporting network of more than 100 specialist destination sites, to go towards the fund.
