HSBC has officially relocated its Thailand office at One Bangkok, reaffirming its long-term commitment to Thailand and ASEAN.
With a combined GDP of around US$4.5 trillion, ASEAN is the world’s fourth-largest economy and is playing an increasingly important role in global trade and investment. Thailand is strategically positioned at the heart of this opportunity, connecting ASEAN with the world. HSBC’s new office strengthens its ability to help clients capture growth opportunities across the region and beyond.
Georges Elhedery, HSBC Group Chief Executive, joined Surendra Rosha, Co-Chief Executive of Asia and the Middle East, and Giorgio Gamba, CEO and Head of Banking, HSBC Thailand, at the opening ceremony. During his visit, Elhedery also met with Thailand’s Prime Minister, H.E. Anutin Charnvirakul, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Ekniti Nitithanprapas, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and how HSBC, as a leading international bank and one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations., can support Thailand’s growth and connect clients to opportunities internationally.
Reimagine HSBC Thailand
HSBC Thailand began operating from Levels 40–42 of One Bangkok Tower 4 on 12 October 2026. Located at the heart of Bangkok’s international business ecosystem, the office brings colleagues together to foster closer collaboration, improve access to expertise and enable faster decision-making as clients’ needs increasingly span multiple markets and banking services.
Giorgio Gamba, CEO and Head of Banking, HSBC Thailand, said: “Thailand is increasingly important to the changing trade and investment flows connecting ASEAN with the world. Since 1888 as Thailand’s first commercial bank, HSBC has supported Thailand’s development by bringing financial innovation and international connectivity to the market. Today, we continue that legacy by connecting Thai businesses and clients to opportunities around the world.”
“The move to One Bangkok gives us an opportunity to reimagine HSBC Thailand and strengthen how we serve our clients. The office provides an engaging, empowering and sustainable environment where colleagues can feel connected, supported and able to perform at their best. It will also help clients access the right expertise more easily and receive faster, more coordinated support for them to achieve this business’s ambitions.”
Connecting clients to opportunities in ASEAN and beyond
HSBC is Asia’s powerhouse, with our network markets representing more than 90% of the region’s economic output. ASEAN’s fast-growing economies make the region a strategic priority for HSBC, and we are committed to investing in Thailand and ASEAN for the long term.
Shifting trade, investment and supply chains are creating new opportunities across ASEAN, with Thailand well positioned to benefit from changing regional and global flows. As companies diversify supply chains and seek new growth markets, Thailand’s established industrial base, strategic location and growing digital economy make it an important gateway to ASEAN. HSBC combines deep local knowledge with an international network spanning markets that account for approximately 85% of global trade flows, helping clients connect to opportunities, navigate complexity and grow across borders.
Thailand continues to attract strong foreign direct investment. According to the Thailand Board of Investment, foreign direct investment applications totalled THB 1,550,784 million across 1,309 projects in the first nine months of 2026, a 62% year-on-year increase in investment value. This increase reflects the global trend of investment relocation driven by geopolitical pressures and technological advancement. Most foreign investment focused on digital infrastructure, semiconductors, electronics and electrical appliances. The top three sources of investment were Singapore, China and the United Kingdom, highlighting the importance of international connectivity across markets where HSBC has a strong presence.
Currently, HSBC Thailand supports Thai clients across 38 markets and serves international clients from 39 markets, demonstrating its role in connecting Thai businesses with overseas opportunities and international investors with Thailand.
Gamba added: “We see compelling opportunities for Thailand to build on its strengths and develop new capabilities as trade and investment flows evolve. Our focus is on helping international businesses invest in Thailand, supporting Thai companies as they expand overseas, and enabling Thai high-net-worth clients to access international wealth opportunities.
Giorgio concluded: “By combining deep local understanding with HSBC’s global network, we can connect our clients to opportunities across borders, strengthen Thailand’s links with the world and support the country’s next phase of growth.”
