Keeree Kanjanapas donates 50 million baht to support injured soldiers and families at the Thai-Cambodian border, with BTS Group also contributing 50 million baht to the government.

On August 7, 2025, Keeree Kanjanapas, founder and chairman of BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited, the operator of the BTS Skytrain, along with the company's management team, donated 50 million baht to the Thai military to support and assist soldiers affected by the ongoing unrest along the Thai-Cambodian border. The donation was received by Gen Pana Klaewplodthuk, Commander of the Royal Thai Army, and Lt Gen Boonsin Padklang, Commander of the 2nd Army Region.



This donation follows a 50-million-baht contribution to the government made by BTS Group on August 6, to help citizens impacted by the border conflict, bringing the total amount donated by the company to 100 million baht.

The 50 million baht donated to the military will assist soldiers who have been injured, disabled, or killed during operations on the Thai-Cambodian border, as well as provide support to the families of affected soldiers. Should there be any remaining funds, BTS Group has offered to allocate the balance as deemed appropriate for maximum benefit.

Keeree expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to show his sincere care and support for the military, acknowledging their sacrifice for the people and the country. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate our sincere concern for all three branches of the military, who have generously sacrificed for our people and nation. We hope that everyone will continue to support the military, and we believe our forces are strong and capable of protecting our nation."

Boonsin expressed his gratitude after receiving the support from BTS, saying, “We thank Mr Keeree and the management team at BTS for this generous contribution. We will ensure that these funds are used effectively and transparently through the appropriate committees. This is a reflection of the kindness of every Thai citizen.”

Boonsin added that part of the funds will be used to develop military technology, while the remainder will help support soldiers affected by the conflict, including those who have lost their lives or sustained injuries.
