Airbnb.org offers temporary housing to people in Thailand impacted by recent earthquake

To support those impacted by the earthquake that occurred on 28 March, 2025, Airbnb.org is offering free, emergency housing to evacuees residing in Bangkok and across Thailand, in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and local nonprofit NGO, Zendai Foundation. The stays on Airbnb will provide evacuees free, emergency housing.

How it works

Airbnb.org works with local organizations to help identify those in greatest need of emergency housing and may expand support to other areas affected by the earthquake. We will update this page with more information accordingly.

Currently, Airbnb.org is partnering with BMA and Zendai Foundation, who are identifying residents in need of emergency housing and helping to connect them to free Airbnb.org stays for up to 14 days. Airbnb waives all fees for Airbnb.org stays.  They are specifically focused on people whose homes have been severely damaged or have been forced to evacuate, first-responders and technical volunteers who are aiding inspections post-damage, in Bangkok.

Impacted residents can request assistance for temporary housing support from Airbnb.org by filling up this form from BMA or contacting Zendai Foundation at +66 020965000.

Airbnb.org is a nonprofit organization founded by Airbnb that connects people to emergency housing in times of crisis. Airbnb.org uses the Airbnb platform to connect people who need a place to stay with Airbnb hosts willing to share theirs. Airbnb waives all fees on Airbng.org stays. 100 percent of all donations go directly to providing emergency housing in times of crisis. Since its founding in 2020, Airbnb.org has provided 1.6 million nights of free, temporary housing to more than 250,000 people.

Most recently, Airbnb.org offered free, temporary housing to people displaced by wildfires in Los Angeles, Jasper, Canada, Hurricanes Milton and Helene in Florida, floods in Brazil, and the earthquake in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. 

Note: Airbnb.org does not offer housing directly to individuals at this time. Impacted residents can request assistance for emergency housing support from Airbnb.org across Thailand  by contacting Zendai Foundation at +66 020965000.

How to help

Hosts on Airbnb may choose to host Airbnb.org stays for free or at a discount. Airbnb waives all fees for Airbnb.org stays. Participating hosts receive an Airbnb.org supporter badge on their profiles to recognize their contributions and help spread the word to our community. Also, hosts can choose to donate a percentage of each payout to Airbnb.org, which goes to helping more people find emergency  housing in times of crisis.
