In a viral sensation that initially baffled the internet, a Thai delivery rider in a GrabFood uniform was captured making a chicken rice delivery order from Singapore to Thailand. What made this story truly intriguing was that it appeared to be an unofficial delivery, entirely orchestrated by a Thai TikTok user.
The Mysterious Delivery
The story began with a video circulating on TikTok that showed a man dressed as a GrabFood delivery rider boarding a plane bound for Singapore. This seemingly audacious feat raised many eyebrows, as it was not something Grab officially offered.
In response, Grab, the popular ride-hailing and food delivery platform, stated that the video was “fictional” and not associated with their services, and they claimed the delivery rider was not registered with them.
The Plot Unravels
Despite Grab’s denial, it was later revealed that the entire stunt was not as it initially seemed. The mastermind behind this viral stunt turned out to be a Thai content creator known as @domteamwork.
In a TikTok video, he outlined his plan to send a delivery rider from Thailand to Singapore to pick up chicken rice and return with it to Thailand. The catch? It was all for the sake of entertainment.
@domteamwork, after placing an order for chicken rice through Grab, offered the chosen rider 10,000 baht (equivalent to S$381) for the journey.
The rider, after being briefed on the plan, accepted the mission and the cash. With the money in hand, he promptly headed to the local airport in Thailand, Don Mueang International Airport, as previously seen in the original TikTok video.
The Journey Begins
The Grab rider boarded a flight from Thailand to Singapore, documenting the entire journey. Once in Singapore, he seamlessly integrated into the local scene, taking the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) MRT.
Upon reaching his destination, Maxwell MRT Station, he stepped out into the vibrant streets and shophouses of Chinatown, a renowned culinary hub in Singapore.
Here, he was on a mission to purchase the iconic chicken rice that had become the centerpiece of this fascinating expedition.
At a bustling hawker center in Chinatown Complex, the rider ordered five servings of Singapore’s signature dish, all neatly packed into the familiar yellow plastic bags adorned with the emblematic lion symbol.
With the order secured, the rider returned to Changi Airport Terminal 4’s departure hall, ready to embark on the return journey to Thailand. The screens indicated that it was 8.14 PM on the same day, signifying a whirlwind adventure.
The Grand Reunion
Back in Thailand, late at night, the content creator @domteamwork reunited with the man who had successfully completed his delivery mission.
In an unexpected twist, the TikToker and the alleged delivery rider shared the chicken rice together, marking the culmination of this bizarre yet captivating journey.
