With profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Kosin Virapornsawan, Managing Director of PlanToys, on September 12, 2024 at 42 years young. Kosin was a dedicated leader and a vital part of our team, shaping our mission of sustainability and innovation but above all, a very good friend with whom we’ve shared so many great moments.
We extend our deepest condolences to Kosin’s family, friends, and colleagues.
He wasn’t a man of many words, but he always wanted to be and do the best he could for everyone.
PlanToys is steadfast in our commitment to preserving and advancing Kosin’s legacy.
Forever in our heart!
