The Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 30th anniversary with a grand gala dinner at Marriott Hotel, the Surawongse in Bangkok. < Back Throwback to the Nobel-Inspired Gala: the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce 30th Anniversary 29 Aug 2024 Throwback to our 30th Anniversary, the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce marked a decade of exceptional partnership with a grand gala dinner in Bangkok. This milestone event gathered our esteemed members, friends, and partners from both Thailand and Sweden to celebrate a journey of collaboration and growth. The evening commenced with President, Anders Lundquist, who emphasised the chamber's remarkable growth and the invaluable support it has received from both Thai and international members. He shared a delightful anecdote from the chamber's inauguration, attended by His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Queen Silvia at the former Siam Intercontinental Hotel. During his speech, the King humorously remarked that he found their logo ‘not sexy enough.’ Years later, during a meeting in a church garden in Thailand, Khun Anders had the chance to remind the King of this comment, to which the King responded with surprise, asking, ‘Did I really say that?’ In addition, the president also highlighted that the evening's theme was inspired by the Nobel Gala Dinner. He pointed out the similarities in table arrangements to the Nobel banquet held in 1989, coinciding with the awarding of the Nobel prizes in Sweden. This homage to Alfred Nobel, the esteemed founder of the prizes, added a layer of significance to the celebration. Moreover, the gala also recognised Ingvar Krook, a scholarship sponsor for young students associated with the SweCham. Mr Krook shared insights as the former executive director of the Swedish Foreign Trade Association and the Swedish Youth Abroad Foundation, where he played a vital role in providing scholarships for Swedish students. He expressed his satisfaction with the chamber's initiatives and its commitment to promoting Swedish interests abroad. Guests were treated to a delectable menu inspired by the 1989 Nobel banquet, featuring a starter of salmon, a choice of beef or fish for the main course, and a modern interpretation of mango sticky rice for dessert. The evening concluded with a lucky draw, offering impressive prizes. Notably, one guest, Anders Frummerin, won a prize from Husqvarna for the third consecutive time! Given its auspicious start, the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in fostering economic cooperation and cultural exchange between Thailand and Sweden. The gala provided a captivating journey through the chamber's history, celebrating key achievements, memorable moments, and the individuals who have contributed to its success.
