Inspiring love for Thailand’s seas – Bangkok Bank as a “trusted partner and reliable close friend” led by Bangkok Bank Vice President, Office of the President, Dr. Jirawat Panpiemras, Vice Presidents of the Public Relations Division Aphiwat Punnopakorn and Suwit Indrachalerm and Assistant Vice President Regional Manager Region 3 - Provincial Commercial Banking Mr. Sarote Rotejanasarote, along with executives, “Bualuang Green Team” members and intern students from the 78th class of the Student Internship Program (SIP), participated in the “2nd Bualuang Green Trip to collect trash, plant mangrove trees, release crabs, and provide survival kits”. The event took place at the Bamboo Fences Prevention and Coastal Ecosystem Restoration project in Khok Kham subdistrict, Muang district, Samut Sakhon Province. It was held in collaboration with the Khok Kham Subdistrict Administrative Organization and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources Region 8, to foster environmental awareness and encourage participation in conservation efforts, as well as promote social responsibility. The activities included releasing crabs to help restore the ecosystem and natural crab populations, planting 1,000 mangrove trees to create a natural barrier against coastal erosion and provide nurseries for marine life such as shrimp, crabs, and fish, and collecting 1,250 kilograms of waste along the mangrove forest shoreline to protect the environment and reduce harm to aquatic animals and plants. In addition, the Bank donated crab release equipment and waste separation bins to the Khok Kham Subdistrict Administrative Organization to use in ongoing local activities and distributed survival bags containing essential daily items to bedridden patients living in the area.

This activity site is part of a broader initiative under the “Bualuang Save the Earth: Rak Tha Chin” project which Bangkok Bank is helping to implement in partnership with local government agencies and community networks in Samut Sakhon province. This five-year initiative, running from 2023 to 2027, aims to tackle the issue of marine waste by installing trash traps at the mouth of the Tha Chin River, to prevent debris from flowing into the Gulf of Thailand. The project also focuses on educating local residents about waste separation to discourage littering in the river and establishing banks for waste to convert trash into money, tackling the root causes in a sustainable and effective manner.

Bangkok Bank has organized its 52nd congratulatory luncheon for Buddhist monks who have passed the examination in the 9th grade, the highest grade in Buddhist theology, in 2025 to help preserve Buddhism

June 06, 2025

Bangkok Bank, led by Director Mr. Arun Chirachavala, as the secular president, Director Mr. Chokechai Niljianskul, and Executive Vice President Pochanee Kongkalai, together with executives and staff, organized a ceremony to celebrate the graduates of the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam. This is the 52nd year the Bank has given offerings to monks and novices who passed their examination at the 9th grade, the highest grade in the curriculum of the Pali Department of Dharma. Phra Phrom Moli (Dhammaratano), Councilor of the Sangha Supreme Council of Thailand, Maekong Bali Sanam Luang, Abbot of Wat Paknam, as the president of the clergy, gave fans, bags, three garments (robe, sarong, extra robe) and blessings to 72 monks and novices who passed the examination. The event was held at the auditorium on the 30th floor of Bangkok Bank Head office, Silom Road.

At the ceremony to celebrate those who passed the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam for 2025, there were 72 graduates comprising 53 monks and 19 novices. These 19 novices will receive royal patronage for their ordination as royal novices (Nak Luang) following ancient royal traditions at the Ubosot of Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram. Additionally, they will be granted royal monastic requisites. The Bank takes great pride in supporting and fostering the education of the monastic community in alignment with its intended purpose.

Among them was Phra Maha Wacharin Aphipunyo, a monk known for his diligence and perseverance in both secular and Buddhist studies. He dedicated over 17 years to passing the highest level of Pali Buddhist studies, known as the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam, finally achieving success at the age of 57. He shared that his desire to prove himself transformed into a driving force to fully immerse himself in Pali studies, reaching the highest level. Despite the long journey, he never felt discouraged or regretted the time spent. During this period, he also pursued higher education, earning degrees in four different fields, namely Bachelor of Science from Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Master of Education from Ratchathani University, Bachelor of Political Science from Ramkhamhaeng University and Bachelor of Abhidhamma Studies from Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. He believes that secular education plays a crucial role in self-development and can be integrated with Buddhist studies. Moreover, his knowledge enables him to pass on these teachings to future generations of monks, novices, and Buddhist followers, helping them gain a correct and accessible understanding of the Buddha’s teachings that they can apply to their daily lives.

Beyond celebrating the academic achievements of monks and novices, the Bank also recognizes several other significant aspects. Monks and novices who complete the highest level of Buddhist studies are considered spiritual heirs of the Buddha, responsible for preserving and carrying forward his teachings. They also serve as invaluable human resources within the Thai monastic community, both now and in the future. Many will go on to become teachers, preachers, administrators, and leaders, equipped with the highest levels of knowledge, capability, and efficiency.

Bangkok Bank, as a trusted partner and reliable close friend, is the first and only company in the private sector that has held a ceremony to celebrate the graduates of the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam every year since 1974, making this the 52nd year. There has been a total of 2,007 monks and novices, comprising 1,669 monks and 338 novices, who have joined the ceremony. This event, in addition to congratulating the monks and novices who passed the exam, also demonstrates the Bank's intention to foster and encourage Buddhism going forward.

In addition, the Bank has raised awareness of executives and staff and encouraged them to separate waste before disposal, reduce plastic use, and maximize resource efficiency. With the collective efforts, the Bank successfully reduced general waste by 16,681 kilograms in the first four months of 2025 (January-April 2025) compared to the same period in 2024. The Deputy Governor of Bangkok praised the Bank’s waste management model and the strong cooperation within the organization, noting that the initiative aligns with Bangkok’s zero waste policy which promotes waste reduction and separation at the source. He also offered suggestions for expanding collaboration between the Bank, Bang Rak District Office, and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to sustainably solve the waste problem.

May 22, 2025

The "Green Transition Academy Season 1" invites leaders from 40 business organizations in Thailand to participate in in-depth training on adapting to a green and low-carbon economy. This is achieved by integrating a network of top-tier partners and specialized knowledge from 13 leading regional organizations to create a group of leaders who are ready to transform their companies so they can handle new environmental regulations and seize future business opportunities. The academy will also leverage Bangkok Bank’s strength as a 'leading regional bank' and highlight its branch network and customer base to build a group of green business leaders, who exchange knowledge and experiences as well as seize opportunities for Thai businesses to enter the ASEAN and global markets strongly.

Mr. Kobsak Pootrakool, Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary, stated that the Bank has launched the new "Green Transition Academy Season 1" to invite business leaders who are ready and willing to transform their organizations towards a green and low-carbon economy. This aligns with the goal of sustainable growth, which is a key driver of current and future business. The academy is honored to have speakers who are top executives and experts from 13 leading regional organizations, distinguished in various areas of change, to share information and experiences that will help participants to become effective leaders in business transition that are ready to adapt to new environmental regulations and seize future business opportunities in a sustainable way.

For the first season of the Green Transition Academy, which is open for applications until June 13, the course has been intensively designed to run for 9 weeks. It features 13 distinguished speakers, including sustainability experts and exclusive corporate leaders. Among them is Dr. Buranin Rattanasombat, Chief New Business and Sustainability Officer at PTT, who will speak on the topic “Driving Low-Carbon Growth with New S-Curves.” He will share strategies for seizing new business opportunities such as the circular economy and low-carbon products, which enhance business competitiveness in the green economy. Also featured is Mr. Prasit Vaiyavatjamai, Partner, Corporate Sustainability & Climate Change Service Lead, SEA at ERM-Siam, a global sustainability consultancy. He will lead a workshop to help businesses assess their vulnerabilities and analyze opportunities and risks related to climate change.

Other notable speakers include Ms. Gloyta Nathalang, Senior Executive Vice President of Sustainability Management and Corporate Communications at Bangchak Corporation, who will speak on the topic “Carbon Markets & Credit Acquisition, Offsets, and Utilization.” She will help participants understand opportunities in the carbon credit trading market and how to generate carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions, Ms. Tongjai Thanachanan, Executive Vice President-Chief of Sustainability and Strategy at Thai Beverage, who will speak on the topic “Driving the Net-Zero Transition – Target, Roadmaps & Leader Alignment.” She will share approaches to setting carbon reduction targets, aligning leadership mindsets, corporate culture, and governance with responsible transition goals.

Mr. Kobsak further stated that this course marks another important step in the “The Great Green Transition” initiative, which the Bank has been actively promoting through various activities such as academic seminars, social media outreach, support for environmental startups (e.g., “Green Innovation Solutions Startup Pitching”), and training programs like the Green Transition Academy. The goal is to raise awareness among Thai businesses and prepare them for a systematic transition to the new economy, leading to sustainable growth—a priority for Bangkok Bank.

In addition to promoting knowledge, as a “leading regional bank,” the Bank leverages its strengths, particularly in having the most extensive overseas branch network covering 14 key economic zones worldwide, as an important mechanism that helps connect new business opportunities within the ASEAN region and to global markets. The Bank also stands ready to support businesses through financial services, including green loans and transformation loans, and with financial systems that utilize digital technology for enhancement, such as developing cross-border payment systems. Importantly, Bangkok Bank has strong financial stability, which reflects its commitment to being a long-term partner for Thai businesses. At the same time, with a customer base ranging from large businesses to SMEs across various industries, this will provide mutual support to create broader cooperation between business sectors.

“The Bank has been continuously adapting to the green and low-carbon economy, as it is one of the key dimensions of sustainable growth. This is because the global market is already moving in this direction. Those who fail to adapt or adapt too slowly will find it increasingly difficult to connect with the global market. Of course, the Bank cannot do this alone. After having started for some time, we are confident that we are ready to invite our customers to adapt and transition to the new economy together. At the same time, we have received excellent cooperation from experts in various fields who are ready to assist, provide guidance, and share real experiences. These insights will be highly beneficial in helping businesses effectively apply them to their specific challenges. This aligns with the Bank’s commitment to being a “trusted partner and reliable close friend,” supporting the business sector to adapt and advance toward true sustainability,” Mr. Kobsak said.

For business leaders interested in joining the “Green Transition Academy Season 1” course, applications are now available until June 13, 2025 (limited to 40 participants).

The campaign starts from May 8 –July 8, 2025.

Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President Pornpimon Trongtiengdham said that Bangkok Bank has collaborated with Bangkok Life Assurance Public Company Limited to launch 'Gain & Save to receive life protection and special interest', a special campaign for customers who purchase popular life insurance plans. The customers can open a 6-month Bualuang Super Bonus fixed deposit account and receive a special interest rate of 2.5% per annum on top of the normal fixed deposit interest rate (at the date of deposit). This offers savings solutions for customers looking for short- and long-term savings options with consistent returns to reduce risk from economic conditions, including volatile capital markets and low interest rates. It helps to strengthen financial stability for customers with confidence.

“This is due to the downward trend in global and Thai interest rates. Customers with high purchasing power and savings ability want to create financial security, they are looking for secure savings for themselves and their families. The "Gain 1st" savings insurance is an insurance plan that this group of customers are interested in because it offers a higher interest return than the current savings account. So, the Gain & Save campaign helps to meet the needs of these customers, including saving money that provides certain returns with no risk from market fluctuations, and it provides life protection. It is easy to buy because it does not require a test and it does not require customers to answer health questions, so it is suitable for working people. Whether they are company employees or business owners who are looking for financial planning tools for the future to build stability in life,” said Miss Pornpimon.

Bangkok Life Assurance President and Chief Executive Officer Chone Sophonpanich said Bangkok Life Assurance and Bangkok Bank have been strong partners. Both companies recognize the importance of enhancing financial security for Thai people and have created life insurance products catering to those who want to plan their finances for stability with guaranteed returns and no risk. Additionally, these products offer life insurance coverage through the Gain 1st savings insurance plan which is a well-known and accepted product among Bangkok Bank customers.

Mr. Chone said amid economic uncertainty leading to investment volatility and low interest rates this year, Bangkok Life Assurance and Bangkok Bank have collaborated to combine popular financial products into new offerings. The 'Gain & Save to receive life protection and special interest' campaign features three popular insurance plans: Gain 1st 810, Gain 1st Speed Up 15/8 and Gain 1st Savings 10X 15/10.

Bangkok Bank participates in the 'Upper Gulf of Thailand Conservation' activity, joining forces with Samut Sakhon fishermen to care for the Thai seas - create artificial reefs to restore the ecosystem as a trusted partner and reliable close friend sustainably conserving the environment

May 08, 2025

Marine conservation – Bangkok Bank Vice President, Office of the President Dr.Jirawat Panpiemras, Vice Presidents of Public Relations Department Mr.Suwit Indrachalerm, Assistant Vice President Regional Manager Region 3 - Provincial Commercial Banking Mr.Sarote Rotejanasarote along with Bangkok Bank executives and staff joined the ‘Upper Gulf of Thailand Sea Conversation at Samut Sakhon’ activity at the Tha Chin River embankment in Samut Sakhon Province. The event was presided over by Samut Sakhon Governor Mr.Narit Niramayawong and has been organized for 14 consecutive years by the Samut Sakhon Fisheries Association to unite efforts to protect the sea, marine and natural resources while raising awareness about sustainable resource use. This will help restore Thai seas and the deteriorating ecosystem which is affected by issues such as global warming, illegal fishing, and the rapid increase of industrial factories.

"On this occasion, the Bank also supported the building of artificial reefs from old cement mixer barrels which have been beautifully painted to serve as underwater habitats for marine species at the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. This promotes a balanced ecosystem, prevents coastal erosion, and combats illegal fishing by preventing trawlers from encroaching on fishermen's areas. The Bank is committed to being 'trusted partner and reliable close friend' and participates in the conservation of the Gulf of Thailand through the 'Bualuang Save the Earth: Rak Tha Chin' project. This project has included activities such as installing litter traps, providing education and encouraging waste separation to reduce waste in the Tha Chin River before it flows into the sea. Since February 2024, the project has prevented more than 31.67 tonnes of waste from entering the Gulf of Thailand (as of the end of April 2025). Additionally, the Bank has extended the value of waste through participation in the Don’t Cry I Care sustainable waste separation project and established community recycling banks to create sustainable waste management practices.
