Clifford Chance has advised Bangkok Bank Pcl. on the establishment of a $3 billion notes program with an initial issue of $1 billion.

The first offering consisted of two tranches: $500 million each in five-year and ten-year dollar-denominated notes. The bank, the largest in the country by total assets, said it would use the money for general corporate purposes.

Hong Kong partner Matt Fairclough and Bangkok counsel Doungporn Prasertsomsuk acted for Bangkok Bank.
