An elderly Thai CEO has won the hearts of netizens by donating over 108 million baht to Ang Thong Hospital. Somnuk Suksrikan, a humble philanthropist, funded 10 kidney dialysis machines worth 5 million baht and gave an additional 3 million baht in cash last Friday.

 

The hospital’s Facebook page shared a photo of Somnuk touring the facility with Dr.Chokchai Wisetsittichok, the hospital director. This isn't Somnuk’s first act of generosity. Since 2012, he has consistently supported the hospital, starting with a 100 million baht donation for a six-storey building, now named after him.

 

Somnuk's philanthropy extends beyond healthcare. He has also contributed to educational projects, funding new school facilities and providing resources for teachers and students. Despite his noble deeds, details about Somnuk’s personal life remain scarce.

 

Netizens are eager for the media to cover his story. Many see him as a role model for other wealthy individuals, especially those from older generations, and commend him for prioritising hospitals and schools over temples, considering recent controversies involving financial mismanagement in religious institutions.

 

Commenters have expressed wishes for Somnuk's health and prosperity, thanking him for significantly enhancing hospital services. His contributions have resulted in better healthcare experiences for many.

 

As the CEO of the Mangmee Nakhon real estate project, Somnuk has quietly made a lasting impact through his generous donations and community support. His story, marked by humility and philanthropy, still moves many online.
