Stay informed about recent tax amendments affecting Thai tax residents' foreign income. Click here to explore how these changes might impact your finances and discover strategies for compliance and optimization. Stay tuned for an informative briefing session on this vital topic, coming soon.

On October 5th, 2023, Ms. Siriporn Wuthilaohaphan, President of BeLuThai, had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Jan Van de Reyd, Senior Manager of Aviation Development, and Mr. Maarten Evenepoel, Senior Manager of Aviation Development, from Brussels Airport to the BeLuThai office. During their visit, fruitful discussions took place regarding potential collaborations between BeLuThai Chamber and Brussels Airport, aimed at establishing connections with airlines. These discussions hold the potential to significantly expand the number of routes connecting Thailand and Brussels, benefitting both regions and fostering increased connectivity.
