Founded by Mr. Chin Sophonpanich, Bangkok Insurance Public Company
Limited (BKI) has officially engaged in non-life insurance business since
1947. It was incorporated as a limited company on 15 April 1947 under the
name of Asia Insurance Company Limited with an initial registered capital of
Baht 5 million and an office situated on Anuwongse Road, Samphanthawong
District. (During the first era of operations, the Company was originally
established as a small non-life insurance division of Asia Insurance Company
Limited. It was granted its first license to conduct non-life insurance
business on 1 January 1947.)
Subsequently in 1964, Asia Insurance Company Limited was renamed to Bangkok
Insurance Company Limited. The Company continuously expanded its business
and increased its registered capital. In 1978, the Company became listed on
the Stock Exchange of Thailand and, in 1993, was converted to a public
limited company under the name of Bangkok Insurance Public Company Limited,
and has continued to operate with strength and stability ever since.
In 2023, Bangkok Insurance restructured its organization and established BKI
Holdings Public Company Limited (BKIH) on 11 September 2023 to expand
business opportunities in insurance and other diversified, high-potential
businesses.
Bangkok Insurance was delisted from the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 17 June
