Poh Teck Tung Foundation Distributes 3,000 Relief Kits in Chonburi
The Poh Teck Tung Foundation held its annual Thing Krajad ceremony in Si Racha, distributing 3,000 relief kits to support local residents in need.
On August 25, 2026, the Poh Teck Tung Foundation conducted its annual 'Thing Krajad' (merit-making) ceremony at the Huachiew Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Si Racha, Chonburi. Led by Vice Chairman Wichit Chinwongworakul and other foundation representatives, the organization distributed 3,000 sets of essential consumer goods and travel stipends to underprivileged individuals living in the surrounding area.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, this year’s initiative saw an increase in both the number of relief kits and the financial support provided compared to previous years. The event was held as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati.
For residents and travelers, this event highlights the significance of the Thing Krajad tradition, a cultural practice rooted in Chinese-Thai heritage that emphasizes community support and charitable giving. While the event is a recurring annual fixture, those interested in observing or participating in future charitable activities should note that specific dates and locations are determined by the foundation's annual schedule. It remains to be confirmed how the foundation plans to expand its outreach in other provinces for the remainder of the year, as the organization continues to manage its nationwide social welfare programs.
