Thai luxury health and beauty brand opens first overseas store in Hong Kong
Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced that Thai holistic wellness and lifestyle brand PAÑPURI has officially opened its first store in Hong Kong today (August 27), taking the brand to the world stage.
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang lauded the move, saying, "Cosmetics and personal care products are popular shopping categories for both locals and visitors. The opening of PAÑPURI in Hong Kong offers not only a premium choice for customers, but also shows the attraction of Hong Kong as a global hub for international brands. I wish PAÑPURI every success in Hong Kong and beyond."
The new store at a cultural-retail shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui offers a wide range of fragrance and beauty products, including essential oils, ambience diffusers, fragrances and more. It also provides an exclusive Hong Kong Edition EXTRACT Perfume Oil collection and a Bespoke Sensorial Bar for customers to design their own signature scent with the assistance of trained specialists.
Managing Director of PAÑPURI Mr Pramote Dechaboonsiripanich said, "Hong Kong's consumers are known for their refined taste and demand for premium products, which presented a strategic opportunity for us to grow our customer base. Additionally, Hong Kong serves as a gateway to the Mainland and a global business hub, making it an ideal location for expansion. Our data also shows that Hong Kong customers rank among our top clients, so this move allows us to better serve both local and international customers."
He added, "Our goal is to expand to three or four stores in Hong Kong and to establish our Hong Kong office, capitalising on the city's status as a strategic gateway to Asia and a sought-after international hub. Our Hong Kong office will play a pivotal role in overseeing operations across Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. Its key responsibilities will include driving sales, marketing initiatives and planning, as well as enhancing our retail capabilities over the next few years."

Extension of opening hours and special traffic arrangements of FEHD's columbaria during Chung Yeung Festival
A spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) today (September 13) said that the opening hours of columbaria under the FEHD will be extended to 7am to 7pm during the Chung Yeung Festival period (i.e. from September 21 to October 20) to assist grave sweepers as well as toalleviate crowd conditions. The department appealed to grave sweepers to avoid grave-sweeping activities during the peak period on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival and pay tribute to ancestors over a wider period before and after the festival.
The spokesman reminded grave sweepers to pay attention to special traffic and transport arrangements that will be implemented during the Chung Yeung Festival. Access to cemeteries and columbaria of the FEHD will be closed to all vehicles while the special traffic and transport arrangements are in operation, except for those with permission. For details of the special traffic and transport arrangements in the vicinity of cemeteries and crematoria, please browse the Transport Department website (www.td.gov.hk). In addition, the escalator adjacent to Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium has been opened for public access.
The FEHD expects that there will be a large number of visitors burning paper offerings in joss paper burners (JPBs) at the Tsang Tsui Columbarium and Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium during the peak sweeping period of the Chung Yeung Festival. No walk-in queuing for the JPBs will be allowed at both columbaria on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays during the above-mentioned Chung Yeung Festival period. Members of the public must make bookings via the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/cc/notice.html) or obtain queue tickets in the columbaria. For details of the JPB arrangements, please browse the FEHD website.
Green burial allows the environment to thrive and love to endure. Members of the public can register their wishes for a green burial through the Green Burial Central Register (www.greenburial.gov.hk). The registration is simple and free of charge. Members of the public can also pay tribute to their loved ones through the Internet Memorial Service webpage (www.memorial.gov.hk) and its mobile application. During the Chung Yeung Festival, a Green Burial Exhibition will be held on the G/F of Tsang Tsui Columbarium. All are welcome to visit free of charge. Throughout the exhibition period, a food kiosk will be set up to provide food and beverages for sale.
