The Chamber’s membership now stands at almost 600, hence it is one of the biggest foreign chambers of commerce in Thailand. The twenty employees have comprehensive country-specific knowledge about markets and industries, as well as many years of experience and expertise in representing business interests in Germany and Thailand.

Through the GTCC, we enhance the active participation of our members, offer platforms for the exchange of knowledge and experiences among the members, and give a voice to businesses in the cooperation with our Thai partners in business, government and society.

The services, the seven programmes, and the apprenticeship

03

A German apprenticeship, in Thai colleges

GTDEE, run with GIZ since 2013, with B.Grimm, BMW Thailand and Robert Bosch Thailand as founding companies.

German-Thai Dual Excellence Education (GTDEE) is vocational education and training programme in which apprentices work and study during the given period. It is also well-known as the apprenticeship programme.

The main objective of the apprenticeship programme is to produce skilled workforce with flexible qualifications who are mobile and capable of working in their chosen fields. GTDEE intends to share best practices from Germany’s vocational education system.

The year, and the evening that ends it

With almost 600 members, the German-Thai Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest foreign chambers of commerce in Thailand. With various events and activities, which are organized by GTCC or in cooperation with our members, we are actively engaged in supporting our members and business contacts throughout the year.

AFTERWORK
The regular business networking event, an excellent platform for both members and non-members to connect, build new relationships, and engage with like-minded individuals and partners. The event typically follows a Briefing presented by a GTCC member company. Special editions include the Tri-Nation Edition and the annual Christmas networking event in December.
Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC)
A monthly networking evening in Pattaya hosted by one of the 10 leading chambers. GTCC hosts twice a year. There are about 100 to 150 C-level guests represented at each ESB networking event.
Oktoberfest
Every year in October and November we bring the renowned Munich Oktoberfest to Bangkok, celebrating the annual festival with more than 1,000 guests. It features live entertainment from Germany in the original atmosphere with wooden Festzelt-benches, people in traditional Bavarian outfits, a wide range of German feasts, the genuine Oktoberfest beers as well as a Bavarian band.
Ordinary General Meeting
Members only. The annual meeting includes the election of new Directors to the Board for a full two-year term. In addition to the new Board members, a new President and Vice President will be elected every two years.

The partners of 2026

Two ranks, as the chamber publishes them on its own partner plate.

Premium Partners 2026

Annual Partners 2026

The chamber publishes two ranks of partner for the year and a third slot it sells as advertising. Premium and Annual Partners are named and their marks shown, in their own published order. The advertising rank is not shown, because every slot on their page is still a "Your logo here" placeholder and a wall of placeholders says nothing about who supports this chamber. Their own line: GTCC Premium and Annual Partnership packages include exclusive offers to GTCC’s activities and marketing platform, with early access bookings at events and tailored marketing.

What the newsroom carries

What their news index mostly carries is members announcing their own promotions, events and openings, because a free Member News slot updated weekly is one of the things their membership buys. Headlines and dates are theirs and open on their own pages; no standfirst is rewritten here.
