Bangkok Life Assurance Public Company Limited is a Thai life insurance company that sells life insurance policies, health coverage, and savings-linked insurance products to individual customers and groups across Thailand. It serves everyday people looking to protect their families financially, as well as corporate clients seeking employee benefits packages. The company is one of the largest life insurers in Thailand by assets and has operated for decades in the Thai financial services market.

Bangkok Life Assurance earns money primarily through insurance premiums paid by policyholders, along with investment income from managing the large pool of funds it holds to pay future claims. It operates almost entirely within Thailand, giving it deep local brand recognition and an established distribution network of agents and bancassurance partnerships with banks. A key growth driver is Thailand's aging population and rising middle class, which are increasing demand for life and health insurance products, though the company faces competition from both domestic insurers and large international players entering the Thai market.
