Through Thai-Norwegian Chambers of Commerce’s membership of the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand and Thailand’s Board of Trade, the chamber identifies challenges and opportunities in doing business in Thailand, seeking support in Thai Government policies to address such issues. This includes interaction with key stakeholders in Thailand relevant to the business community such as the Board of Trade, the Thai Customs Department, The Immigration Department, The Revenue Department and the Board of Investment as well as providing access to top officials in the Thai administration.
