| Initiated by Bruno Odermatt and supported by ambassador Mrs. Helene Budliger Artieda, the Swiss Thai Chamber of commerce had the chance to locate their new office on the Swiss embassy compound in Bangkok.
The perfect location was found between the main embassy building, designed by architect Hans Hofmann and Roland Vogel in 1957, and a smaller office/apartment bungalow. The new office is embedded in the existing garden close to the car parking spaces, surrounded by existing trees. |

| Under the Thai Foreign Business Act (“FBA”), A.D. 1999, foreigners who engage in certain business sectors, including any service business, require a Foreign Business License (“FBL”) to operate legally. However, under the new Ministerial Regulation of the Ministry of Commerce, a Regional Office is not considered a restricted business under the Foreign Business Act (FBA).
