The Beginning
MTCC was formed on 21 June 2002 with the aim of bringing together the group of Malaysian business people who were operating in Thailand. The Chamber’s objective is to promote and develop economic relations and cooperation between Malaysia and Thailand and also among Malaysian business people in Thailand and the surrounding region. The Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand is the patron of the MTCC.

Membership
From an initial group of 10 members, MTCC has grown over the years to 126 members comprising both ordinary and associate members.

Social Networking Activities
In keeping with its objective to promote business relations in the community, the MTCC regularly organises social functions like networking dinners, seminars and conferences, as well as golfing events. The Chamber also increased its joint-networking activities with other trade chambers like the Singapore-Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong Trade Association. MTCC also participated as a member of the organising committee in the inaugural Asian Food Festival 2010. Dinner talks were held on topics of current relevance like “Holistic Wellness” and “The Stock Market”. The Chamber helps to facilitate visits by Malaysians from the business community or government bodies who want to know more about the Thai economy. MTCC also serves as a strategic point of contact for Malaysian businessmen who are interested to do business in Thailand or for those wanting to know more about the Thai investment environment. This is similarly true for Thai businessmen who want to know more about investment opportunities in Malaysia.

Publications
MTCC produces quarterly newsletters that are widely distributed in Thailand and Malaysia to keep members apprised of the latest government policies and economic developments. It also serves as an avenue for members to publicise their respective company profiles or to disseminate information about their companies. MTCC also produces an annual handbook/directory.

The website of MTCC was officially launched in February 2005. The contents are frequently updated to provide useful and informative news to the business community in Thailand, as well as to other interested parties worldwide. The website also offers web links exchange, near to real time announcement, an online billboard and exchange rates.

CSR Activities
MTCC is also committed to contributing and giving back to the community on behalf of its members through various CSR activities.
