Ayutthaya, Thailand | 26 March 2026

The Malaysian Thai Chamber of Commerce (MTCC) conducted a CSR Education Program at Wat Krachang School, Ayutthaya Province, marked by the official handover of 20 new personal computers following the completion of installation in early January. The initiative aims to support digital learning and enhance students’ academic development.

The handover ceremony was attended by Dr. Khim Boo, Chairwoman of MTCC, together with MTCC Directors and CSR Committee members Ms. May Low, Ms. Yap Lu Ying,
Mr. Ten Voon Teng and Ms. Rungnapa Chinvigai, as well as Ms. Jintana Kosalodom, Director of Wat Krachang School, teachers, and students. The donated computers will strengthen IT education, improve digital literacy, and support classroom learning across various subjects, including the EDUTEN English/Math education program previously sponsored by MTCC.

As part of the activity, the computers were used to demonstrate an e market channel, enabling students to learn how agricultural products from Wat Krachang School can be promoted and sold through digital platforms. MTCC representatives also visited the school’s Academic Flea Market, where students showcased their academic achievements, vocational skills, and self cultivated agricultural products.

MTCC maintains a long term, education led CSR commitment, with Wat Krachang School adopted as a key CSR partner since 2015. Ongoing initiatives include the annual sponsorship of 160 EDUTEN English and Mathematics licenses and support for digital learning through computer donations.
