Thai Smile Bus Group CEO Kulphaphat Wongmajarapinya shared her vision at SX SUSTAINABILITY EXPO 2026, ASEAN's largest sustainability event, under the theme "Resilient Mobility: More Than Public Transport — Transforming Cities Toward Sustainability." Held at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and organized by Amarin TV and Spotlight Thailand, the forum highlighted clean-energy mass transit's role as critical infrastructure for achieving sustainable development goals and a genuine low-carbon society, beyond simply moving passengers.

Thai Smile Bus has pioneered Thailand's first fully electric public transport ecosystem — both buses and passenger boats — reducing greenhouse gas emissions and PM2.5 pollution. The company has invested in smart technologies including the TS-HUB management system, Smile AI with ADAS behavior-detection cameras, and seamless "bus-boat" network integration.

The discussion underscored "Resilient Mobility" as a flexible transport system ready for future urban challenges — environmental protection, creation of thousands of jobs, economic circulation, and most importantly, sustainable long-term improvement in citizens' quality of life.
