Our work in Thailand
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been operating in Thailand for over 45 years. We established our first office in Bangkok in 1975 to assist those severely impacted by the Indo-China War. In 2003, we expanded our presence to a regional delegation, working in partnership with National Red Cross Societies to address humanitarian needs in Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam. We also promote international humanitarian law (IHL) and other relevant international laws and standards. Since 2024, the ICRC in Thailand has extended its scope to cover seven countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Our office has also evolved into a regional hub, serving as a resource for humanitarian expertise across the Asia-Pacific region. We are dedicated to both preventing humanitarian crises and responding to the needs of those affected by conflict and violence.
