ktb

KTB is an acronym that may refer to several different organizations and initiatives across different countries and fields. The two most widely recognized uses are Krung Thai Bank in Thailand and the Kontinentales Tiefbohrprogramm, a German scientific drilling project.

Krung Thai Bank, commonly abbreviated as KTB, is a major financial institution in Thailand. Founded in 1966 as a state-owned bank, it provides a broad range of banking services—including retail and corporate banking, payments, and trade finance—and operates as Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited in its corporate form. The KTB abbreviation is widely used in branding, official documents, and financial reporting, including stock market listings in Thailand.

Kontinentales Tiefbohrprogramm (Continental Deep Drilling Program), abbreviated KTB, was a German scientific drilling project designed to study the structure and properties of the Earth’s crust. Conducted in the late 20th century by multiple universities and research institutes, the program involved deep boreholes and extensive geophysical and geological analyses to advance understanding of continental crust processes.

In addition to these, KTB can refer to other organizations, programs, or companies that share the same acronym. The intended meaning is usually clear from context, such as a discussion of banking in Thailand or Earth science research.
