Bangkok Bank Senior Executive Vice President in charge of Commercial Banking and Business Banking said that The Bank places great importance on creating spaces for SME entrepreneurs to meet and exchange experiences through the organization of the “Bualuang SME Fair”, which has been held continuously for 16 years. This year, 91 entrepreneurs are participating, offering more than 200 products ranging from consumer goods, household items, fashion products, fresh and processed foods, health products, and New Year gifts — all sold at special prices to allow consumers to purchase quality products at affordable rates. In addition, the bank has prepared its payment system to ensure fast and secure transactions at the event through Bangkok Bank’s QR Code payment service, enhancing the buying and selling experience to be even more convenient.
“Bangkok Bank intends for the Bualuang SME Fair to serve as a central marketplace that opens doors to new opportunities, enabling entrepreneurs to expand their markets, build networks, and develop business knowledge together. The fair is organized in collaboration with the Bualuang SME Club, which has more than 485 members, reflecting the strength of the entrepreneurial network under The Bank’s support. This helps entrepreneurs adapt to changes in both technology and geopolitics, which affect international trade, and continuously improve the quality of their products and services.
At the same time, The Bank remains committed to stimulating domestic consumption and driving year-end economic activity, in line with Bangkok Bank’s role as a
