25 years of PACS: the birthday party raised ฿143,534

PACS celebrated 25 years on 22 September 2026 with a party at Concierge in Hin Kong, and ฿143,534.69 was raised for the stray dogs and cats of Koh Phangan. Concierge hosted the evening and gave 20% of drink sales, and more than 40 island businesses donated raffle prizes.

PACS turned 25 this year. On Monday 22 September we marked it with a party at Concierge in Hin Kong: live music, a DJ, dancers, a raffle, an auction and a lot of people in one place.

Between the party and the campaigns running alongside it, ฿143,534.69 was raised for the stray dogs and cats of Koh Phangan.

That came from raffle tickets and donations on the night, t-shirt sales, the online birthday campaign, and Ita’s donation appeal.

Thank you to Concierge

Concierge hosted the whole evening and donated 20% of drink sales to PACS.

The raffle prizes

More than 120 prizes went into the raffle, every one of them donated by a business or practitioner on the island. Kite surfing, massage, Muay Thai lessons, padel, diving, pilates, yoga, coffee, dinner, a round of mini golf, and a lot more besides.

Thank you to everyone:

Cake, decorations and t-shirts

Birthday cakes from @youandmecafe.phangan and Nira’s Home Bakery. Decorations from @partyrepublic.shop. The 25th anniversary t-shirts were printed by LangNgan T-Shirt Printing.

Thank you as well to everyone who gave their time to help on the night.

T-shirts are still available

There are some 25th anniversary t-shirts left. If you would like one, get in touch.

What it goes towards

A night like this makes a real difference. The clinic costs over ฿250,000 a month to run, and that does not pause between fundraisers. What was raised goes into caring for the animals and continuing our mission. Thank you so much.

25 years

PACS has been running on Koh Phangan since 2001. A night like this is a reminder of where the work actually comes from: the businesses, the musicians, the people who turned up, the people who donated from the other side of the world.

Thank you, genuinely.

If you would like to keep it going, you can donate here at any time.

Common questions

How much did the PACS 25th birthday party raise?

฿143,534.69, raised across the night itself, t-shirt sales and two online appeals.

Can I still buy a PACS 25th anniversary t-shirt?

Yes, there are some left. Get in touch and we will sort one out for you.

When did PACS start?

PACS was founded in 2001 on Koh Phangan, which made 2026 our 25th year.

Can I run a fundraiser for PACS?

Yes, and both businesses and individuals do. Individuals usually take on a challenge and collect sponsorship: a run or a swim, a sporting or Muay Thai event, a coffee morning, a quiz night, or asking for donations instead of birthday presents. Businesses tend to host an evening, put a donation box on the counter, give a share of takings for a night, or donate a raffle prize. If you have an idea, get in touch and we will work it out with you.

PACS runs entirely on donations

There is no government funding. Every treatment, vaccination and sterilisation on this island is paid for by people who chose to help.
