Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Bangkok (JCC) and Member Companies Pledge Over 30 million THB to Support Flood Recovery Efforts in Northern Thailand Over 86 Japanese Companies Join Forces to Support Northern Thailand’s Recovery
BANGKOK – The Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Bangkok (JCC) and its member companies have mobilized more than 30 million baht in aid to support flood recovery efforts in Northern Thailand, demonstrating the strong ties between Japanese businesses and Thai communities.
The comprehensive aid package combines direct financial assistance with essential relief supplies. The JCC’s Social Contribution Committee has already transferred 200,000 baht to the Thai Chamber of Commerce as immediate support for flood-affected areas.
A joint survey conducted with the Japanese Embassy between October 17-22 revealed the extensive scope of relief efforts. More than 86 member companies contributed through various channels, including:
- Emergency relief supplies such as food, cooking equipment, and survival kits
- Essential services including free vehicle repairs and oil changes
- Direct financial assistance to affected employees
- Logistics support for aid distribution
The aid is being channeled through multiple organizations, including the Thai Red Cross, Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, government agencies, and local community groups in flood-affected regions. While most donations were completed by October’s end, additional support initiatives continue through November.
“This response reflects our long-standing commitment to Thailand during times of crisis,” said a JCC representative, noting similar support during the 2004 Southern Thailand floods, 2011 nationwide floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
