Between two economies, since 1962.
The German-Thai Chamber of Commerce (GTCC), located in Bangkok, promotes bilateral economic relations between Germany and Thailand since 1962.
What the chamber is
Their own account of the body in Bangkok, and of its reach into the ASEAN region through the rest of the network.
One of the biggest foreign chambers of commerce in Thailand.
thailand.ahk.de/en/about-us2The 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.
GTCC provides services to German and Thai companies and acts as a strategic partner between the two economies. GTCC supports companies and institutions from both countries in opening up new trade and investment opportunities.
We provide companies direct access to the markets of the ASEAN region via our service network with other German Chambers of Commerce abroad. We maintain close contacts with enterprises, associations, politics and administration in Germany and Thailand, and provide comprehensive information about economic relations between Germany and Thailand, their development, as well as the opportunities, which arise for companies.
Three functions, and a network of 150
A German Chamber of Commerce Abroad is three things at once, and the network states them in this order.
At 150 locations in 93 countries around the world, the members of German Chambers of Commerce offer their experiences, connections and services to German and local companies. German Chambers of Commerce are located in all countries which are of special interest for German companies.
German Chambers of Commerce are closely connected to the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs). Together, they support German companies to build up and extend their business relations to foreign countries. The umbrella organization is the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which also coordinates and supports the German Chambers of Commerce.
The three functions above are the network’s own wording, printed under that heading on their page about the chamber. The bodies named in the footer of every page of their site are Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Chamber of Commerce and Industry, AHK.de, Germany Trade & Invest.
The Board of Directors, 2026 to 2027
The Board of Directors 2026-2027, transcribed from the plate the chamber publishes on its board page and dated by them 1 August 2026.
