This is the 53rd 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, presided as the president of the clergy, gave fans, bags, three garments (robe, sarong, extra robe) and blessings to 121 monks and novices who passed the examination.

At the ceremony to celebrate those who passed the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam for 2026, there were 121 graduates comprising 92 monks and 29 novices. This year is regarded as a historic milestone in the study of Buddhism in Thailand, as it represents the highest number of monks and novices ever recorded who successfully pass the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam. These 29 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.

Bangkok Bank, as a trusted partner and reliable close friend, is the first and only company in the private sector to have held a ceremony celebrating the graduates of the 9th Grade Buddhist Theology exam every year since 1974, making this the 53rd year. In total, 2,128 monks and novices, comprising 1,767 monks and 361 novices, have joined the ceremony over the years. Beyond congratulating the monks and novices who passed the exam, the event also demonstrates the Bank's intention to foster and encourage Buddhism going forward.

Bangkok Bank, led by Vice President and Public Relations Department Manager Aphiwat Punnopakorn, Vice President Public Relations Department Suwit Indrachalerm together with executives and staff, joined forces at the “World Oceans Day 2026” event under the theme “REIMAGINE: Seeing the World and Oceans from a New Perspective” (The Ocean, Redesign the Future – Rethinking the Seas for a Sustainable World). The initiative aims to raise public awareness of the importance of conserving marine ecosystems. The event was chaired and presided over by Mr. Damrongsak Yodthongdee, Vice Governor of Samut Sakhon Province and hosted by Mr. Montree Hamontree, Director of Marine and Coastal Resources Office 8. The event was held at the Office of Marine and Coastal Resources Office 8, Khok Kham Subdistrict, Mueang Samut Sakhon District, Samut Sakhon Province.

On this occasion, the Bank continued its ‘Bualuang Save the Earth: Rak Tha Chin’ initiative by organizing an educational exhibition on conservation, resource restoration, and marine waste management. The team also carried out hands-on activities, including mangrove planting, releasing crabs into the wild, and collecting and sorting waste. In addition, the Bank provided 600 bottles of drinking water and 400 eco-friendly shirts made from recycled plastic bottle fibers. Recycling PET bottles into fibers not only helps reduce plastic waste and landfill space, but the production also minimizes the use of new raw materials, saves energy, water and crude oil while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The eco-friendly shirts are comfortable to wear, quick-drying, and breathable, helping to reduce energy consumption and support environmental sustainability. The initiative represents a shift in perspective and helps inspire collaboration to restore and sustainably develop the future of Thailand’s marine ecosystems.

The initiative invited customers to participate in a plankton collecting mission and convert their accumulated points into funding for marine turtle nursery equipment.

The Bank installed solar panels with a total capacity of 111.54 kWp (kilowatt) and commenced system testing in mid January 2026. During the testing period from January 19 to March 31, 2026, the system generated a total of 28,123 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity. It is expected to reduce the branch’s annual electricity consumption by more than 100,000 kWh, or over 15% of total electricity usage, and help lower the Bank’s greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 50 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

Bangkok Bank’s Worachak Branch represents a key model for efficient and environmentally friendly energy management in office buildings, supporting an increasing use of clean energy, cost reduction, and long-term preparedness for energy challenges.
