After the reign of King Rama V, the concept of life insurance was introduced by foreign companies which came to establish representative offices selling life insurance. After World War II,  a group of high–ranking officials and Thai businessmen founded Thai Life Insurance Company Limited in 1942, the first Thai owned life insurance company, with an initial registered capital of 1,000,000 Baht.

Over the years, Thai Life Insurance Company Limited has accumulated experience, expertise and public confidence. The company has become a leading Thai Insurance company with the policy of ‘not aiming to maximise profit, but optimise profit’ together with Corporate Social Responsibility.

Vision
1 Offering excellent benefits and quality services to maximise customer satisfaction on the basis of social connection.
2 Taking care of all Thai lives through frequent development of new products and services.
3 Promoting knowledge, skills, experience and quality of life for employees. The company provides opportunities for permanent employees and sales staff to enhance their career capability, and also encourage them to become CSR volunteers and continuously take part in activities that benefit society.

Currently, Thai Life Insurance still keeps the principles to strengthen the corporate in order to support business development, grow through any changes as well as overcome any obstacles the company may face. In 2008, the company started paving the way to the future with a customer centric approach under the slogan, ‘More Than Just Life Insurance’. The customer centric approach is applied as an array of effective marketing mechanisms to deliver the right offer to the right customer at the right time. This approach inspires the customers to develop brand loyalty, which is why Thai Life Insurance is unique among others in the insurance business.

To date, over 190 hospitals have joined this programme.
