Celebrating RCL Day by Giving Back to the Community
June 25 2026

This year on RCL Day, June 25th, RCL headquarters in Bangkok organized a CSR activity to bring joy to the children of the Duang Prateep Foundation in Khlong Toei, Bangkok.

Twenty-six employee representatives spent the day at the Foundation alongside 138 children, making sandwiches, sharing a lunch together, and distributing items donated by RCL employees such as plain milk, rice, noodles, pasta, and hardcover storybooks. A simple gesture of giving was also an afternoon filled with laughter, connection, and genuine warmth between the RCL team and the children.

Beyond the smiles it brought to the children's faces, the activity was also a meaningful way for RCL employees to come together and support local communities. It was a celebration that gave back and a reminder that the best way to celebrate growth is by sharing it with others.

Endoscopic Ultrasound is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy with ultrasound technology to diagnose gastrointestinal and intestinal disorders, as well as other conditions. The endoscope used is a small, flexible tube with a miniature ultrasound device at its tip, allowing for precision and flexibility during the procedure.

This specialized endoscope, known as an echoendoscope, can be inserted through the mouth or rectum and directed to specific locations as required by the doctor. This innovation significantly enhances the ability of doctors to detect abnormalities within the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding areas due to the greater clarity it provides.

This donation of medical equipment reflects RCL's commitment to creating a direct positive social impact in line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being). The initiative focuses on providing modern and essential medical equipment to support and enhance the efficiency of disease diagnosis and treatment for patients.
