Thai Credit Bank Reinforces Its Mission to Build a Financially Resilient Thai Society Through "Tang To Know-how Young Ambassador" Youth Camp, Creating Over 140 New Young Trainers
Thai Credit Bank Public Company Limited has launched its first "Tang To Know-how Young Ambassador" youth camp, in collaboration with Meechai Pattana School in Buriram Province, an educational institution founded by Mr. Mechai Viravaidya, a pioneer in community development and family planning in Thailand. The school serves as a model for education emphasizing life skills development and sustainable community leadership, with an educational philosophy aimed at developing youth to become change leaders in communities and society.
The 2-day 1-night youth camp, held on May 29-30, 2025, transformed ordinary classrooms into vibrant learning spaces. Eighty students from grades 7-11 were divided into 9 groups to work closely together. Coming from a school that emphasizes not only classroom education but also experiential learning through the "Learning by Doing" concept, participants underwent specially designed Active Learning processes combining practical workshops, financial simulation games, and professional presentation training.
What impressed was the youngsters' full potential on display. Not only did everyone pass the financial knowledge assessment, but they also developed knowledge transfer plans. All 10 groups set clear goals to expand to 16 communities in Buriram Province, with determination to disseminate knowledge both in schools and surrounding communities, aligning with Meechai Pattana School's educational philosophy of developing youth to become change leaders in communities and society.
The project's success isn't measured by camp completion alone. Thai Credit Bank has established a 3-month continuous monitoring system with expert mentors providing consultation and creating online networks for youth experience sharing. The 10 groups will operate in 16 target communities, to transfer knowledge to at least 30 community members per community. This is expected to create financial literacy dissemination to over 480 people in various Buriram communities within 3 months.
The "Tang To Know-how Young Ambassador" project is not merely a general CSR activity but a strategic investment in the country's future, aligning with the philosophy "Everyone Matters" and reinforcing Thai Credit Bank's vision to be a financial institution dedicated to sustainably improving Thai people's quality of life through building a society with proper knowledge, understanding, and skills in financial management.
