“Tonight we celebrate two decades of community,” said Rettig. “For twenty years, Prestige Thailand has been dedicated to telling the stories of the individuals who are shaping the socioeconomic landscape of this country. In 2024, we launched Prestige Southern Thailand, further demonstrating our commitment to reaching new audiences and building a resilient community of like-minded individuals. Prestige remains committed to expanding and growing in this ever-evolving landscape and to continue building a community of influence.”

Rettig’s speech was followed by a speech from UOB Thailand’s Deputy CEO & Country Function Head of Wholesale Banking, Khun Vira-anong Chiranakhorn Phutrakul, who shared in Rettig’s message about the importance of community.
