The selection of Kaeng Sian Market as a pilot market in the central region reflects Thai Credit Bank's commitment to creating a comprehensive financial literacy network across all regions. Building on the success achieved in the northern region (Tha Wang Thong Market, Phayao Province) and the central region (YES Bangplee Shopping Center, Samut Prakan Province), this expansion to Kaeng Sian Market will serve as a crucial connecting point in strengthening the grassroots economy in the upper central region.
Mrs. Jirapat Klinkomut, Senior Vice President of Micro Finance Sales Division 1, Thai Credit Bank Public Company Limited, stated: "The selection of Kaeng Sian Market as a pilot market in the central region holds special significance because this market serves as a community trading center with solid foundations, diverse vendors, and readiness for development. It will serve as an excellent model for expanding to other markets in the central region. Investment in developing the financial capabilities of these small vendors will have a continuous positive impact on the overall strength of the community economy."
This project focuses on creating transformative changes across multiple dimensions, particularly addressing the debt structure problems of small vendors who largely lack systematic financial management knowledge. Through practical training workshops covering three main topics: efficient debt management, building saving discipline and emergency funds, and developing business management skills through modern technology utilization.
What makes this event particularly outstanding is the active participation of provincial and district-level government agencies, demonstrating recognition of the importance of developing the financial capabilities of small entrepreneurs, who serve as crucial mechanisms in driving the local economy.
Ms. Khemruthai Asavanon, Senior Vice President of Micro Economic Development Department, Thai Credit Bank Public Company Limited, added: "Small entrepreneurs are the heart of Thailand's economy, serving as the main driving force of communities and creating jobs for millions of people. Thai Credit Bank is committed to being more than just a financial institution - we aim to be a 'Growth Partner' standing alongside them throughout every stage of their business journey. It's not just about providing loans, but we want to empower them with knowledge, tools, and opportunities to turn their dreams into reality. Because when they are strong, Thailand becomes strong too."
The "Financial Learning Festival with Tang To Know-how 2025" project will conduct training sessions across all regions nationwide to provide small entrepreneurs with the necessary knowledge and skills for stable and sustainable business management.
Thai Credit Bank continues to advance sustainable financial services by prioritizing continuous product and process development, as well as providing knowledge, development, and financial skill enhancement to small entrepreneurs, small business owners, SMEs, and Micro SMEs for financial planning to enable continuous business growth. This aligns with the philosophy "Everyone Matters", which aims to ensure everyone can access financial services with equality and fairness sustainably.
