Supporting Seafarers: Our Recent Outreach in Three Thai Ports
Supporting Seafarers: Our Recent Outreach in Three Thai Ports
A recap of our recent ship visits and outreach in Thailand.
🚢 1. Encouragement at Bangkok Port
The FOMS Headquarters and our brothers from The Mission To Seafarers warmly visited and encouraged Myanmar seafarer brothers on cargo ships currently loading and unloading at Bangkok Port, Thailand. We also distributed Seafarers' Bulletins (handout leaflets) containing essential information and updates.
We wish all our seafarer brothers safety in their workplace and joy in performing their duties. 🙏
🗓️ 2. October 29, 2025: Leam Chabang Connection
On October 29, 2025, we visited seafarer brothers loading and unloading cargo at Leam Chabang Port, Thailand, to greet them, offer words of encouragement, and distribute the Seafarers' Bulletin.
We were especially delighted and proud to meet the brothers who are affectionately referred to as "worth their weight in gold." Our visit reaffirmed our commitment to their well-being.
