- Intouch Holdings Public Company Limited (INTUCH; SHNUF), founded in 1983 and headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, operates as a holding company focused on telecommunications, media, technology, and digital sectors primarily in Thailand and select international markets including Lao PDR. Through its primary investment in Advanced Info Service PCL (AIS), the largest mobile operator in Thailand, it offers mobile communication services under the AIS brand encompassing monthly subscriptions, top-up services, and global roaming in over 240 destinations with 4G and 5G technologies for individuals, SMEs, and corporates; high-speed fixed broadband internet under AIS Fibre and 3BB brands for households and businesses; enterprise solutions under AIS Business including connectivity via Ethernet direct services, cloud computing, data centers, and ICT integrations for all enterprise sizes; and digital services leveraging telecom infrastructure for new revenue streams aligned with evolving consumer behaviors. Additional operations span satellite and international businesses providing transponder rental, uplink/downlink services, media-related sales and services, and telecommunications in regional markets; alongside other segments such as advertising, information technology, and venture capital initiatives. In a transformative development completed in April 2025, Intouch Holdings merged with Gulf Energy Development PCL to form Gulf Development Public Company Limited, simplifying the shareholding structure under Gulf's control while retaining the GULF ticker and integrating energy, telecom, and digital infrastructure capabilities; this follows Gulf's acquisition of majority control in 2021 and shareholder approvals in March 2025, with Singtel retaining a significant indirect stake in AIS post-restructure.
