GULF Provides Financial Support to Soldiers Injured by Landmines
Gulf Energy Development has donated 2 million baht to two soldiers injured by landmines while serving on the Thai-Cambodian border.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Gulf Energy Development (GULF) has provided financial assistance to two soldiers who sustained severe injuries while performing security duties along the Thai-Cambodian border. Sitamon Rattanawadee, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at GULF, visited the soldiers at Phramongkutklao Hospital in Bangkok to present the donations.
The company awarded 1 million baht each to Sergeant Major Udomsak Nuekman, who lost his left leg, and Sergeant Major Channarong Wongchana, who lost his right leg, after both stepped on landmines during their service. The donation is part of GULF’s ongoing '100 Million Baht Fund,' an initiative designed to support and provide relief to military personnel injured or killed while protecting national sovereignty.
For residents and travelers, this event highlights the ongoing risks associated with unexploded ordnance in remote border regions. While major tourist areas remain unaffected, those traveling near the Thai-Cambodian border should remain aware of local safety warnings and stick to marked, cleared paths. It remains to be confirmed if further disbursements from the fund are planned for other personnel or if additional safety measures will be implemented in the affected border zones. Major General Narong Phakdisuphaphon, Director of Phramongkutklao Hospital, was present to receive the donation and support the soldiers.
