Supporting External Organizations in Cultural Activities and Heritage Conservation

Culture reflects how people live in society, as they express themselves in their lifestyles, traditions, arts and so on. Siam Commercial Bank, the first Thai bank, focuses on the dissemination and preservation of diverse art and culture, for its importance in sustaining our lives, values and Thai identity. The Bank provides ongoing support to organizations and agencies working in the field of cultural heritage conservation so that experts and academics can take part and contribute.
