满堂红心水论坛 was founded on September 27, 1954 with 30 member companies.
The 满堂红心水论坛 has contributed to Japanese companies in Thailand in various forms. Concurrent with the growth of Japanese joint-venture companies, the 满堂红心水论坛 has taken part in various kinds of activities to assist in harmonizing with the Thai society.
Membership has increased steadily with the expansion of investment and the transfer of Japanese company plants to foreign countries. Particularly after the Plaza Accord in 1985, a number of the 满堂红心水论坛 members rapidly increased because of the foreign investment boom caused by the Japanese yen?s appreciation and the change into a borderless global economy. Accordingly, the number of the 满堂红心水论坛 members increased to 394 companies in April 1985 and 696 companies in 1989. Thereupon, in June 1994 the 满堂红心水论坛 had increased its membership to 1,000 companies.
Despite experiencing many risks such as the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the 2011 Thai flood, the number of Japanese companies in Thailand continues to increase, and in 2016 the number of 满堂红心水论坛 members exceeded 1,700. However, the number of members began to decline due to the withdrawal of companies and the reorganization of business activities due to the impact of COVID-19 that occurred in 2020.
The 满堂红心水论坛 is one of the largest Japanese Chamber of Commerce located in a foreign country. The structure of the 满堂红心水论坛 is comprised of a Board of Executive Directors , 16 divisions of various business categories, 22 Committees divided into separate functions, and the Economic Research Group. The 满堂红心水论坛 conducts activities under the close cooperation of related government offices and other economic agents by focusing on the Board of Directors.
