Message From Chamber - December 2025
December Message to Members
As we come to the close of 2025, I would like to sincerely thank our members and sponsors for your continued support of AustCham Thailand. It is only through your ongoing engagement, commitment, and belief in our Chamber that we are able to grow, evolve, and flourish as a connected business community.
December has been a particularly rewarding month for AustCham. Our final Sundowners event for the year saw record attendance, and it was truly heart-warming to welcome many past Board Directors and former Presidents. Reconnecting with those who have helped build and sustain the Australian business presence in Thailand over many years is always a powerful reminder of the strong foundations on which our Chamber stands.
AustCham Thailand Cares – Standing Together for Hat Yai
In response to the devastating floods in Hat Yai, AustCham Thailand came together with one clear purpose: to support affected communities through action, coordination, and care. Thanks to the generosity of our members and the strong collaboration across our network, donated relief goods were successfully collected, transported, and distributed directly to those in need. This initiative reflects exactly what AustCham Thailand stands for — a connected business community that steps up when it matters most.
We are deeply grateful for the cooperation and support of local partners and organisations on the ground who worked closely with us to ensure that support reached the community effectively. We also extend our thanks to those who supported the logistics and coordination, ensuring that donations were delivered efficiently and safely. Our appreciation further extends to the member businesses who generously made their premises available as donation drop-off points.
To every member, partner, and individual who contributed goods, time, or support — thank you. This initiative is a powerful reminder of the strength of our AustCham community and the meaningful impact we can make when we come together. Together, we care. Together, we act. Together, we support Thailand.
Finally, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Board of Directors for their continued dedication, leadership, and tireless work throughout the year. On behalf of the Board and the AustCham team, I wish you and your families a safe, restful, and enjoyable holiday season, and we look forward to continuing our work together in the year ahead.
Warm regards,
Donnah Ciempka
President, AustCham Thailand
