Preserving National Arts and Culture
There is tremendous economic value in arts and culture. From folk handicrafts to high art, from the way of life in the countryside to great traditional festivals, all create economic benefits, income, and careers for people on many levels.

They have also helped build Thailand’s reputation and national pride as well. Thailand, considered the number-one tourist destination in Asia, welcomes more than 30 million foreign tourists each year, generating more than two trillion baht in revenue annually. According to research, about 30 percent of tourism-related income is derived from products and services connected to Thai arts and culture, such as regional festivals, art exhibitions, or sales of souvenirs, artwork, and crafts.

To encourage society to appreciate the value of arts and culture, ThaiBev is committed to disseminating Thainess to the world, with a three-pronged strategy, namely: promoting a creative economy, strengthening the corporate image and coordinating cooperation between the public and private sectors. This approach aims to benefit the community, society, and the nation as a whole.


From March 7 to 9, 2019, Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, the Phra Chetuphon Temple’s lay ministry, Committee Member of the Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation, and the President and CEO of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, followed Phra Phrom Bundit (Prayoon Thammachitto), who is a committee member of Maha Thera Association, the abbot of Wat Prayoon Wongsawas Temple, the President of the International Council for the Day of Vesak, and the representative of the Supreme Partriarch, Chao Pra Khun Somdej Praariyawongsakatayan, to The Vatican’s International Conference on “Religions and the SDGs” in Vatican City.

Leading this conference was Pope Francis, head of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, who planed to visit Thailand in November 2019 to perform mass for more than 50,000 Roman Catholic Christians in the country. ThaiBev plans to support this event. In addition, Thai Beverage Recycle Company Limited (TBR) will participate in the Less Plastic Thailand Project by raising awareness about waste sorting and providing bins to collect waste water bottles at the holy mass TBR’s employees are contributing to this campaign as these activities are in line with the national goal to reduce plastic waste in Thailand.

River Festival

Press conference for “The 5th River Festival 2018” under the concept of “The Sound of Happiness” on 25 September 2019.

In 2014 ThaiBev launched the “River Festival,” a contemporary cultural festival and Loi Krathong celebration on the longest bend of the Chao Phraya River, which has been arranged for 6 consecutive years. It has been well supported by government agencies, including the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Ministry of Culture, the Navy, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararam Ratchaworamahawihan, Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchaworamahawihan, Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahaviharn, Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan, Yodpiman Riverwalk, Asiatique, The Riverfront, Lhong 1919, Icon Siam, the Riverside hotel group, Chao Phraya Express Boat, and many other partners. Together, these organizations helped promote cultural art and Thai traditions to the world.

The partnership has continued to support two other successful projects for sustainability: the “Clean Canal” project and the “Young Host Inheriting the Culture”. Annual survey results show that the satisfaction of visitors to the event is continuously increasing. In the survey, almost 90 percent of Thai interviewees agreed that the event is a good exhibition of contemporary culture. It carries on the tradition of Loi Krathong, according to 98-100 percent of the respondents. It also makes Thai people see Bangkok in a new light. This event can highlight the Thai way of life and helps to support cultural and social sustainability.

The 2019 River Festival was very successful. For instance, visitors gave 98 percent satisfaction score for enjoyment (increased by 29 percent from 2017); 96% for the event being memorable (increased by 31 percent from 2017); 93 percent for event activities (increased by 36 percent from 2017); and overall event satisfaction reached 97 percent (increased by 29 percent from 2017).

The festival generated 2.66 million baht income for communities in the Bangkok area. The event organizers hope to soon expand the event to neighboring ASEAN countries with similar Loi Krathong culture and traditions.

Former Deputy Governor Tourism Authority of Thailand for Art and Culture Promotion and Economic, Social, and National Development
Promotion of Art and Culture, and it’s contribution to the economy, society and national development
“Although advances in science and technology play a significant role today, people still pay more attention to art and culture because they satisfy emotional and mental needs. For this reason, art and culture have enormous economic value. From folk handicrafts to high-art pieces, from the way of life in the countryside to the great traditional festivals, all have an economic impact. That is to say, they are generating income and creating careers for people on many levels, creating a reputation, prestige, and pride for the country too.”

“Many countries support arts and culture, directly and indirectly, to stimulate the tourism industry. There are many socio-economic benefits of arts and culture, such as its use as soft power to strengthen international relations, and to open trade and investment channels. The use of cultural resources can drive the creative economy to create added value for products that can enter the international market.”
Water Festival 2019

“Water Festival 2019” under the concept of “Happy and Healthy” between April 13-15, 2019.

ThaiBev hosted the “Water Festival 2019” for the fifth consecutive year, in collaboration with the Department of ASEAN Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As Thailand holds the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2019, the “Water Festival” is another big event supporting the government’s policy to publicize Thailand as an art and culture tourism destination. This event aligns with the ASEAN Cultural Year 2019 theme, which highlights diversity, creativity, and sustainability; so that it will be included as part of the ASEAN Cultural Year of Thailand 2019. A tradition that many ASEAN countries share, the Water Festival promotes sustainable cooperation in the ASEAN region.

Compared to the previous Water Festival, the 2019 event resulted in higher satisfaction ratings from tourists. Bangkok and Phuket areas received above average ratings, while people in Chiang Mai and Udon Thani were moderately satisfied. Nearly half of the participants came with a group of families or friends. As a result, 81 percent of the respondents say that they planned to attend the event again next year (survey conducted at Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararam Ratchaworamahawihan, Wat Prayurawongsawas Warawihan, Wat Kaliyamit Woramahaviharn, and Phuket).

The event generated around 1.13 million baht of income for communities in Bangkok. For next year’s event, the organizers hope to expand the event to neighboring countries that also have similar traditional Water Festivals.

Anand Nakkong
C asean Consonant Music Director
What are your opinions on C asean Consonant which musicians from each country cooperated to create and develop music in the ASEAN region?
“C asean Consonant is a group of musicians who speak different languages and come from different ethnicities, cultures, beliefs, lifestyles, genders, and ages. They play a collection of indigenous musical instruments in the Southeast Asian region which once was originated on a common ground. The integration of creative music in the C asean Consonant approach is not just about putting new musicians and musical instruments together and playing strange, surprising, fun songs. It is an important area for learning. It is a lively learning process. It is learning about a peaceful coexistence despite the differences of people. It is learning about the heart of ASEAN music from its roots; how to communicate with different societies and different audiences.

Even though it’s just a small band, it is a model world of ASEAN member countries, driven by a new generation that conserves and develops the ancient musical instruments, songs, poems, and rhythms. It is a band that creates a new generation of listeners.

For four years now, ASEAN music lovers have enjoyed the colorful music of these diverse flavors.”
