A message from the Chairman:

“ Since 2007, the Thailand Foundation was set up to actively promote friendship and constructive cooperation between Thailand and the rest of the world. The Foundation has attempted to carry out this mission by implementing various projects to promote better understanding of Thai culture, Thai values and Thai characteristics with underlying goodwill, friendship and mutual interests at people’s level overseas. Hopefully, the Thailand Foundation will be able to continue to foster synergy with trust with all friends abroad in all the years to come “
