One part of ThaiBev’s Sustainable Development Approach is the support of sports, as we recognize that sports are an activity that boosts and develops physical and mental health for people of all genders and ages. Famous athletes domestically and internationally as serve as an inspiration for youth helping to prepare them for success in their future athletic careers.

These are some of the reasons that the Company has long been committed to supporting the sports industry, because of our belief that sports create quality, ethical people who are respectful of rules. This is in line with ThaiBev’s guidelines for business operations, thus leading to our creation of various sports projects, whose goal for society and communities is to give opportunities for learning and inspiration to youth.

Altogether, the promotion of sports is held to be a factor in developing a sustainable society. The Company supports athletics in many ways, with a yearly budget of more than 200 million baht.

our commitment to supporting Thai traditional sports for more than 30 years

“Continuing the Thai long boat tradition, part of the cultural heritage of the Mekong”
Long boat racing is both a cultural heritage of the river and a sport that reflects the village way of life and the relationship Thai people have had with water since the Ayutthaya period. Boats and the village way of life are part and parcel of the relationship between communities along the river basin and the life-sustaining river, a relationship in which villagers harmoniously take care of the river. This is consistent with ThaiBev’s approach to business, which is similarly dependent upon water, and is the origin of the concept “One Focus, One Victory.” The Company has lent its support to long boat racing for more than 30 years, including the long boat team “Mekong First Ship,” a team from the area surrounding a company factory.

The Newest Generation of Long Boat Commentators Project
In the past year, ThaiBev initiated the “The Newest Generation of Long Boat Commentators” project, with the foresight that race commentators are an important element of long boat racing. They help add color and flavor into the event for the audience on both river banks, effectively the charm of the race. This profession should also be preserved and passed on to future generations. In addition, the project helps develop children who belong to these new generations. More than 10 Thai youth participants have qualified for further development into becoming professional commentators.

Success from Sustainable Development Guidelines
ThaiBev has been a sponsor of the Thai Volleyball Association for more than 30 years, making the association capable of systematically implementing a development plan for the continual success of volleyball players on the national and global level, as well as capable of winning the hearts of the people and pushing the new generation to become through-and-through professional volleyball players.

SangSom 6 Red World Championship
ThaiBev sponsors and promotes snooker 6 red in Thailand, which has sparked a trend of popular interest and culminated in the SangSom 6 Red World Championship, which has been held for more than 10 years and boosted the 6 red snooker phenomenon in Thailand. Thai audiences can be proud of the snooker 6 red tournament, which has been proposed for inclusion at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. In addition, ThaiBev continues to support the world-class snooker players from Thailand, such as: Tong Sitchoi (James Wattana), formerly the third ranked snooker player in world, and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (F Nakhon Nayok), World Champion of the SangSom 6 Red World Championship 2015.

“Castle 12” is a cooperative project between ThaiBev and Buriram Province which has operated for 3 years, to organize the space and set the rules for motorcycle speed races for youth racers for free. It aims to reduce the number of accidents and violent incidents among local youth, and to give youth knowledge about the rules and regulations of proper driving. Meanwhile, the project creates opportunities for learning about maintenance and how to compete in a professional manner, all with experienced professionals.
