Krungsri Foundation Continues Support for Operation Smile Thailand
The Krungsri Foundation has donated 250,000 THB to Operation Smile Thailand, marking the sixth consecutive year of partnership to provide medical care for underprivileged patients.
On September 18, 2026, Thai Post reported that the Krungsri Foundation has extended its support to the Operation Smile Foundation for the sixth year in a row. Duangdao Wongpanitkrit, representing the Krungsri Foundation, presented a donation of 250,000 THB to aid the organization’s ongoing efforts.
Operation Smile Thailand is a medical charity dedicated to providing free surgical care to children and individuals suffering from facial deformities, such as cleft lips and cleft palates. This long-term partnership aims to ensure that underprivileged patients across the country can access timely and life-changing medical treatments.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this initiative highlights the ongoing role of private sector foundations in bolstering the public health landscape. While the donation provides immediate financial relief for surgical operations, the specific number of patients expected to benefit from this year’s contribution has not been publicly disclosed. Those interested in the foundation's broader impact or seeking information on how to support similar medical outreach programs are encouraged to monitor official announcements from both the Krungsri Foundation and Operation Smile Thailand. As this is a recurring annual commitment, it underscores a sustained effort to address healthcare accessibility gaps for vulnerable populations.
