Our Facilities
During her 1968 official visit to Austria, Queen Sirikit was shown one of the SOS Children's Villages there. She was deeply impressed by this village and the organization behind it. Therefore she decided to provide orphaned and abandoned children in her country with a home and a family by having SOS Children's Villages built in Thailand. On her return home, the Queen founded the SOS Children's Village Society.
In 1971, the SOS Children's Village Association of Thailand signed an agreement with SOS-Kinderdorf International so that the organization could start its work in the country. Construction of the first SOS Children's Village at Bangpoo (Bangkok) began in 1972. Two years later, the SOS Children's Village was officially opened. The plot of land for this SOS Children's Village had been provided by the first president of the Thai SOS Children's Village Association, Mrs Thanpuying Somsri Charoenrajapark. In 1991, a building for the National Office was constructed at Bangpoo. Over the years, several SOS Children's Villages and ancillary facilities, such as SOS Kindergartens and SOS Youth Facilities, have been established in Thailand.
