Samui? Phuket? Yoga session? If you haven’t got your next holiday planned, here's a new way to have fun with a social twist.

Thai social enterprise Social Giver is officially launching its website this May 13.

Previously invite-only, www.SocialGiver.com works as a platform to turn the money you spend on hotels, dining and spas into donations for charity.

And they do this by utilizing the spare capacity of leisure businesses—that’s empty hotel rooms and un-booked restaurant tables—to offer you the best rates, while also ensuring that profits go to those who need it. Here's a cute animated introductory video. 

Every baht you spend gets converted into "Socialcoins," all of which can be put towards the projects that you care about most.

This July, these guys will be representing Thailand in Silicon Valley to compete against other 15 global start-up finalists for the best social enterprise in the world title. You can show them support by voting for them on The Venture here to continue developing the platform. 

Check out  the website now for deals and participating charities across the country.
