Wat Debsirindrawas and Poh Teck Tung Foundation Host Charity Distribution
Wat Debsirindrawas and the Poh Teck Tung Foundation have distributed 1,200 relief kits to those in need in Bangkok.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Wat Debsirindrawas in Bangkok’s Pom Prap Sattru Phai district recently partnered with the Poh Teck Tung Foundation to hold a traditional 'Si Kow' (charity distribution) ceremony. The event saw the distribution of 1,200 relief kits, valued at over 290,000 baht, to support underprivileged individuals.
The ceremony was led by Somdet Phra Theerayanmuni, the abbot of Wat Debsirindrawas, alongside senior monks and representatives from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, including Vice President Sak Kor-saengruang. The relief kits contained essential items such as dried noodles, instant noodles, footwear, inhalers, clothing, snacks, soy milk, and longan juice, all packed in the foundation’s signature cloth bags.
For residents and visitors, this event highlights the active role of local religious institutions and charitable foundations in community welfare. While the ceremony provided immediate relief to 1,200 recipients, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing philanthropic efforts that define local community support systems in Bangkok. As this was a specific, one-time distribution event, there are no further scheduled dates for similar large-scale distributions at this location currently confirmed. Those interested in the foundation's ongoing work or future charitable activities are encouraged to monitor official announcements from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation.
