Gulf Energy Development led a royal Kathin ceremony at Wat Saket in Bangkok, raising over 5.8 million baht for Buddhist traditions.

On November 6, 2026, Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited held a royal Kathin ceremony at Wat Saket Ratchaworamahawihan in Bangkok. The event was presided over by Sarath Ratanavadi, CEO of Gulf, following the royal command of His Majesty the King, who bestowed the Kathin robes to the company for presentation to the monks and novices at the temple. This annual tradition serves to support the maintenance of Buddhism and preserve Thai cultural heritage. During the ceremony, Gulf executives, employees, representatives from public and private sectors, and members of the public gathered to participate in the merit-making event. A total of 5,812,741 baht was raised through contributions from the company and faithful donors to support the temple's ongoing religious activities. For residents and visitors, this event highlights the significance of the Kathin season, a period following the end of Buddhist Lent when merit-making ceremonies are held across Thailand. While the ceremony has concluded, the funds will be utilized by the temple for its religious and community maintenance projects. No further actions or public requirements are pending regarding this specific event.
