About HEAP
HEAP is a subscription box service of curated premium Thai snacks and instant drinks, delivered directly from Thailand. Subscribers to HEAP will receive a box each month with a unique theme around Thai culture, festivals and regions. “HEAP” in Thai (หีบ) means a traditional box used for storage of valuable items. Therefore, each HEAP box is packed with love and care like how we treasure our valuables. Our mission is to work with our community to deliver “heaps of happiness” with plenty of joy, fun and surprises!
OTOP stands for One Tambon One Product; “Tambon” means sub-district in Thai. There are over 7,200 sub-districts in Thailand, and each of them has their own unique produce. The OTOP project is a local entrepreneurship stimulus program to support these local manufacturers. The products can be divided into 5 different categories: food, drinks, garments, handicrafts and herbal medicine. Different regions in Thailand are famous for different delicacies, such as coffee from the Southern region and traditional desserts from the Central region. Explore authentic Thai culture and support local businesses through our subscription box which features different OTOP items each month.
HEAP box includes 10+ items featuring local products and an OTOP item, a local specialty unique to a region. We curate both savory and sweet snacks including chips, biscuits, seafood snacks and more! A traditional Thai instant drink, that changes every month, is also included in the package. Additionally, a collectible postcard for sharing your experience and a leaflet that connects you to a digital food and allergen information are also included. Furthermore, along with supporting local businesses, each box donates a meal for those in need (in partnership with the Scholars of Sustenance Foundation, Thailand).
As the content of each box changes every month, we cannot guarantee that all snacks will be vegetarian or gluten-free. Please refer to product information by following the link on the leaflet in the box. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@heapbrand.com should you require more information.
Follow the link on the leaflet in the box to the translated descriptions of each item. The allergens are listed following the FDA’s guideline of 8 common allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans). The information for the “Amazing Thailand” welcome box is on the Welcome box page. We recommend that you refrain from consuming the items if you have serious allergies as there may be risk of contaminations. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@heapbrand.com should you require more information. We cannot guarantee the ingredients of each snack and the presence/absence of certain allergens, so please consume the snacks at your own risk. We cannot be held liable for the accuracy of the translation of product labels nor any injuries caused by adverse reactions to any of the items in our box.
We follow Thailand post’s standard size of 20 x 30 x 11 cm. We ensure that the quantity and quality of products are consistent every month with 10+ items per box.
Each HEAP box supports local businesses, and we also partner with the Scholars of Sustenance Foundation, Thailand so that the sale of each box contributes toward meal support for those in need. The meals are cooked from surplus food, helping to reduce food waste and environmental issues. Find out more about SOS Foundation. Moreover, along with supporting our product, you can also give additional donations.
