Thai Red Cross Society
The Thai Red Cross Society ((タイ語:สภากาชาดไทย); ) is the major humanitarian organisation in Thailand, providing services as part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
The Society was founded in 1893 and is headquartered in Bangkok. It is governed by the ''Act on Thai Red Cross Society, Buddhist Era 2461 (1918)'', and is supervised by the Council of Ministers. Its expenses are borne by the Government. Its president is appointed by the King upon advice and consent of the Council of Ministers. The current president is Queen Sirikit who has held the position since 12 August 1956.
== History ==
The origin of the Thai Red Cross Society relates to the Franco–Siamese territorial dispute of 1893 in which no organised aid was available to assist the military casualties. Lady Plien Pasakornravongs assembled a group of female volunteers and proposed to Queen Savang Vadhana for royal permission to establish a humanitarian organisation. Permission was granted by King Chulalongkorn, who also granted permission to raise starting funds of 443,716 Baht. The society, then known as the Red Unalom Society (สภาอุณาโลมแดง), was founded on 26 April 1893, with Queen Savang Vadhana as maternal patron. Queen Saovabha was appointed the first president, and Lady Plien acted as the society secretary.
The society's name was later changed to the Siam Red Cross Society and, following the renaming of the country, the Thai Red Cross Society. The society was officially recognized by the International Committee of the Red Cross on 27 May 1920, and membership in the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (then the League of Red Cross Societies) was granted on 8 April 1921.
