About The Chamber

The Chamber

The Hellenic-Thai Chamber of Commerce (HTCC), established in 2017 and officially endorsed by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Greece and Thailand, serves as the pivotal organization fostering business relations between the Greek and Thai business communities in Thailand. As an officially recognized entity, the HTCC dedicates itself to leading, facilitating, and bolstering the various needs of its members, ensuring a smooth cultural integration and providing essential support through a blend of online and on-field activities.

These efforts are directed towards strengthening the ties between the two communities, thereby enhancing mutual economic and cultural benefits. In its role as a facilitator of cross-border commerce, the Hellenic-Thai Chamber of Commerce actively identifies and promotes opportunities for investment and cooperation in sectors of mutual interest to both countries.

By leveraging its extensive network and longstanding on-the-ground experience, the Chamber provides invaluable connections to both public and private sectors, facilitating face-to-face interactions that foster understanding and cooperative relationships.

Additionally, the HTCC acts as a crucial advocate for the Greek business community within Thailand, enhancing Greece’s brand identity and promoting bilateral trade and travel, with the ultimate goal of re-establishing direct flight connections between Athens and Bangkok. This strategic focus is supported robustly by the Embassy of Greece in Bangkok and the Embassy of Thailand in Athens, highlighting the chamber’s integral role in bilateral relations.
