They should bite the bullet and appoint a non Thai as CEO. I'd suggest they approach the Japanese guy who turned JAL around, he worked miracles there.
I remember the good old days when TG provided world-class service with management and technical support from SAS from 1960 till 1977. I wonder if TG could sink so deep if SAS would have continued the management cooperation (= transparent accounting)

Here is a photo taken yesterday in Pathum Thani of burning fields at the border with Bangkok (Bangkadi district)
Every year we have to face several days and many hours of this kind of thick smoke
Call the fire brigade ? They are at walking distance...
At the moment the photo was taken we had also a power cut ....so we could not even open our windows.

In one of the more tense moments of Tuesday’s hearing, Paul – the only U.S. senator to have had a confirmed case of COVID-19 – said the public health response to the pandemic has been riddled with “wrong prediction after wrong prediction” and that Fauci should not be the one making decisions on issues outside his purview.
UNQUOTERand Paul is an ophthalmologist....so he knows something about medical problems and ....about drinking disinfectants.
He is right about WRONG PREDICTION AFTER WRONG PREDICTION.....but who was the idiot who made them?
1. the coranavirus is a hoax

It seems Google Chrome has removed the Media Autoplay option

Nothing to do in those experimental settings.
Did you try chrome settings, site permissions, media autoplay and set it to limit?
Chrome has a large extension library, try browse and install some dedicated extensions to deal with your problem.
I am on a desktop PC with Windows 10 and and I do not have "media autoplay" / what you write seems to apply only to Android smartphones

When trying to read Thai Visa Forum on my desktop PC I am flooded with so many pop up videos that it becomes very irritating.
I use Google Chrome
According to internet sources I should type ‘chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy’ in the address bar and hit enter.
However I do not get the option "Document user activation is required" as shown hereafter ....I only get a new page called "Experiments" with so many options I have no clue what they do or cannot do. What should I do ?

That's because Thai youth are taught that the Sun is evil and to be avoided. It will turn your skin browner than it is which is horror for a society which loathes and fears farang but oddly enough virtually all want to have white skin just like them. Hence - 30% of Thais don't get enough Sun (although there is plenty around) and have vitamin D deficiency.
As an European I do not mind to get a browner skin...but it is simply too hot to walk outside

I will take a gamble with this here (not much money to loose) : https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sandisk-pen-drive-usb-flash-drive-usb-30-san-disk-64gb-usb-stick-pendrive-30-32gb-u-disk-cz48-usb-key-128gb-extreme-flashdisk-i972876993-s2080162284.html?mp=1

I bought in the past external hard disk (4 Gb) for the storage of my video and movies and I could connect this - for play back - to the USB port of my old TV.
Now that my new Smart TV does not accept large volume HD for play back I have transferred some video and movie files to a 16 Gb flash drive and this works well.
As I wanted to buy from a large Thai online supplier I noticed they have 2 Tb flash drives for less than 400 Baht (much cheaper than similar external hard disk)
Has any TVF member tried this and can such 2 Tb flash drive play back video when plugged in on Smart TV?

lots of poor families in Thailand, what sort of schools clothes could they afford? getting picked on even worst now wearing off style old stuff.
I raised 3 daughters (now adults) I was fortunate they had uniforms until the age of 18 so that they could escape the competition of a "fashion show"at school

You can prove your income by proving a transfer of 65k baht into a Thai bank from abroad for the past 12 months to apply for your extension. For some unknown reason it was omitted from that piece of paper you posted.
Many people have already done it at Chiang Mai immigration.
Also Pathum Thani I/O has in writing that I must have Embassy letter + bank letter certifying evidence of monthly transfers (which I provided)
Moreover they now wanted also an update of my bank book as if I was using the "money in the bank" method...so I was kicked out and I had to come back after depositing 100 Baht and then make an update.

Yes. Though may need a pretty large pharmacy to find it.
It is available in 3 brands:
Pitasor 2 (locally made so likely least expensive)
Livalo
Pitalip
Thank you

Can Livalo (pitovastatin) be bought over the counter in Thailand?
I lost my pills prescribed by a cardiologist in a government hospital but I cannot have a new appointment for several weeks

Three weeks ago, I placed an order with "i-herb" in the US for some products I use fully expecting delivery (Bangkok) to take a month or more with current conditions. I was shocked when the full order arrived 9 days later.
Shipping charges are very low and as long as an order is under US$80, customs doesn't seem to care.
I use iherb.com since several years with great satisfaction and indeed without being troubled by customs for small orders

The recommended safe social distancing measure is a minimum of 2 metres! This is the distance droplets are spread by coughs and sneezes! Why is it that Thailand has to have their own "safe" measurements, which aren't safe at all! It's the same with measurement of air pollution PM2.5 particles! Thailand's "safe" level is unsafe everywhere else in the world!
How can my barber keep a distance of minimum 2 meters?

Any country that shouts death to America and writes it on their missiles, doesn't deserve a shilling ! America First, Mr. President!
They were not asking American money but - based on their paid membership of the IMF - a loan to restore their balance of payments. Also I can assure you that their are more people in Iran loving the USA than in Saudi Arabia (I worked and lived in both countries)

I am a Dutch speaking person ...in my home country this does not automatically qualify me as a "teacher Dutch language", I need a degree to do this.
I wonder how many teachers "English" in Thailand are simply English speaking persons without any qualification to be a teacher.

Not many offices do a 2nd visit. They will inform you if one will be done when you do the application.
In Pathum Thani they make house visits - every year - since at least 5 years / last week they came to our house and it took only 5 minutes and it was friendly.

2) A country, who has its primary goal to completely destroy another country and kill its citizens, should be thown out of all (world) organisations
You are like Trump confused ...Iran did not ask for medical help from WHO (which can only provide humanitarian aid) but for temporary financial assistance (loan) from IMF during the economic crisis caused by ongoing Covid-19
Which country are pointing at in point 2 ....you mean the USA and its decision to overthrow Saddam and destabilize the whole Middle and Near East and hand over Iraq on a plate to Iran?
The ongoing conflict from Afghanistan to Syria and from Syria to Yemen is a religious war between Sunni's and Shia's and their allies ..it is as simple and complicated as that.

Iran always paid its contributions to IMF and was therefore entitled to apply for assistance / the IMF is not a bank but an institution created to provide temporary loans to restore the balance of payments of member states in times like this
Therefore the veto by the US is scandalous

I agree...but I wrote before in this Forum that in my country a teacher of Dutch language needs a degree to do so...otherwise any Dutch speaking person - even with low IQ - can qualify as a teacher....I speak several languages and all of them with some mistakes but I do not try to get a job as a language teacher.
