The chamber office is co-located with Norway Connect’s office in Bangkok’s central business district and also works closely with the Royal Norwegian Embassy as part of Team Norway.

This includes interaction with key stakeholders in Thailand relevant to the business community such as the Board of Trade, the Thai Customs Department, The Immigration Department, The Revenue Department and the Board of Investment as well as providing access to top officials in the Thai administration.

About WholeTree Foundation / Over-The-Rainbow
WholeTree Foundation for Youth Wellness was founded in 2010 as the family foundation of Yen-Lu & Yee Ling Chow, in loving memory of their son Lawrance Chow who suffered from manic depression and ended his own life at the youthful age of 26. Our mission is to identify and catalyze worthwhile social innovation projects to effect positive transformations in the area of youth and human wellness, for the disadvantaged and underprivileged, on a global scale.
Over-The-Rainbow (OTR) is the mental wellness initiative of the WholeTree Foundation, a one-stop hub for youth mental wellness. Mental wellness is not just the absence of mental illness, but the attainment of happiness and wellbeing. Our mission is to transform mental wellness for the 21st century. We envision a world where mental illness is no longer stigmatized, and mental wellness is a top priority. We wish to empower young people on their mental wellness journey, to overcome life challenges, with an opportunity to fulfill their life potential thru the journey of self-discovery, healing and transformation.
