Mr. Kobsak Pootrakul, Senior Executive Vice President, and Mr. Suwit Intarachaleum, Vice President of Public Relations, represented the bank in donating 1,000,000 baht to the Utokapat Foundation under the Royal Patronage for its 2568 operations. The donation ceremony took place at the Water Resources Information Institute (Public Organization). Mr. Sumet Tantivejkul, Chairman of the Board, Mr. Royol Chitrdon, Director and Secretary-General, and Mrs. Royboon Rasmithes, Director and Deputy Secretary-General of the Utokapat Foundation under the Royal Patronage, accepted the donation on behalf of the foundation.

Bangkok Bank has continuously supported the Utokapat Foundation under the Royal Patronage for 19 years, since 2550, to promote and support community-level water resource management. This is coupled with raising awareness and disseminating knowledge on water management based on His Majesty the King's initiatives, resulting in tangible and visible outcomes for the public. Furthermore, Bangkok Bank and the Utokapat Foundation have collaborated on the "Bua Luang Rak Pa" (Lotus for Forest Conservation) project, planting 1,000 colorful trees to restore ecosystems and natural resources, and further developing ecotourism routes. This will help generate income and strengthen local communities sustainably.
