One Bangkok is set to welcome Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Thailand (SMBC) as a key office tenant and the first major occupier of One Bangkok Tower Two. This move marks SMBC’s first office relocation in Thailand in over a decade, with occupancy scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. SMBC is one of Japan’s leading financial institutions and holds the distinction of having the longest operating history in Thailand among Japanese banks, having established its presence in the country in 1952.
Throughout its long-standing operations in Thailand, SMBC has remained committed to strengthening economic ties between Thailand and Japan while continuously supporting businesses in both countries. The bank has also played a significant role in driving Thailand’s sustainable economic growth, aligning closely with the “Thailand 4.0” policy, which focuses on advancing the economy through high-level technology, innovation, and sustainability across industries.
Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Property Limited, the developer of One Bangkok, commented:
“SMBC’s decision to relocate its office to One Bangkok represents another important milestone for the project and underscores our readiness to become a preferred destination for leading global organizations.
