This lavishly illustrated history of Thailand's oldest local bank marks the century of its founding in 1907. With the broader history of Thailand as a backdrop, it traces the development of the Siam Commercial Bank from its earliest roots in the experimental Book Club set up in 1904, and its formal establishment by royal decree in 1907, and on through a century of development shaped by modern ideals, a changing economic and political landscape, fickle fortunes, and visionary leaders whose legacies have endure until today. This commemorative volume also includes historical photographs and personal recollections of the bank's key personnel past and present.
