The Dr. Thiam Chokwatana Foundation is a charitable organization established by the descendants of the "Chokwatana" family and employees of the Saha Group companies. This foundation was created to carry forward the legacy of the late Dr. Thiam Chokwatana, the former president, founder, and cornerstone of the Saha Group, in providing benefits to the community.
Dr. Thiam Chokwatana began his career under challenging circumstances during the global economic downturn. At the age of just 15, he decided to leave school to help with his father’s newly opened grocery business. He worked tirelessly and diligently without complaint. Simultaneously, he pursued additional knowledge through evening classes, reading books, and studying marketing through real-life work experience. Eventually, he managed to establish his own business and succeeded, marking the beginning of the Saha Group.
Today, the foundation continues to carry out a wide range of activities, including building schools, providing scholarships and supplies to underprivileged schools in rural areas, donating money and consumer goods for public charity, supporting the poor and disaster victims, as well as engaging in activities that contribute to the welfare of the community at large.
