Thailand

Over the past five decades, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has worked in Thailand to deliver humanitarian assistance both locally and in neighbouring countries, while also promoting humanitarian principles and international laws and standards applicable locally.

Our work in Thailand

The ICRC has been working in Thailand for over 50 years. We established our first office in Bangkok in 1975 to support those affected by the Indo-China War. From 1993 to 2000, we expanded into a regional delegation to respond to humanitarian needs in Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam, in partnership with the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Since 2024, the Bangkok regional delegation’s scope has extended to cover Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, previously overseen by our regional delegation in Kuala Lumpur. 

Over the past five decades, we have been firmly committed to working with the authorities in the region, adapting to evolving humanitarian needs. We continue to work closely with the authorities, civil society organizations and our partners in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to promote international humanitarian law (IHL) and other international laws and standards applicable in local contexts, and to address humanitarian challenges. Today, the Bangkok regional delegation has evolved into a regional hub, working across the Asia-Pacific region, sharing our expertise in both preventing humanitarian crises and responding to the needs of those affected by conflict and violence.
