Court Rejects Government's Bid to Control Thai Airways Recovery
File photo for reference only In a decisive hearing, the Central Bankruptcy Court has dismissed the Ministry of Finance's proposal to increase oversight on Thai Airways' rehabilitation plan, favouring the effective progress made by the current management team. The ministry had sought to appoint two additional administrators to the airline's recovery process, potentially increasing governmental influence. However, the court rejected this move, viewing it as unnecessary given the administrators' demonstrated success in steering the airline towards stability. The court approved critical amendments to the rehabilitation strategy to solidify this trajectory. These include reducing the par value of shares to address past financial losses and speeding up debt repayments to appease creditors. This adjustment comes on the heels of a favourable vote from creditors in November 2023, reflecting widespread confidence in the existing approach. Critics had labelled the ministry's proposal as an attempt to exert more control, but the court highlighted the sufficiency and competence of the current management team. The ruling signals strong judicial support for the existing rehabilitation framework and cautions against external interference. As Thai Airways implements the new measures, which include an accelerated debt repayment schedule and share adjustments, the airline is expected to gain financial footing while assuring creditors of its commitment to recovery. The decision not only stabilises the airline's present standing but also reaffirms the importance of maintaining effective, uninterrupted management in achieving long-term financial health. -- 2025-01-22 -

Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
You're sure (the BOLD text)? Are you Edgar Case? I suspect if someone made a similar assumption about Thailand, you would take exception. As for bribes, 2024 was the first year I wasn't hit up for a "fee" that would clear up an "issue" with my 150+ page Business Visa renewal, a tome the IO doesn't even look at, but just "knows" there's a problem. I know other business owners also have the same experience. We come to accept it's just a cost of doing business. In that section of Imm, I don't know for sure, and would need "Bob" to educate me, but I think those might be real Rolexes on the wrists. The highest I had to pay to "expedite" an issue, "which otherwise might take a month to clear up", was 85,000 baht. They size up the applicant, look at paid-in capital plus P&L of the business, and seemingly decide how far they can go. On the plus side, which the OP noted in detail, Thailand has fully and usually quite competently embraced all of the new technologies the outside world has developed, from wifi to cell signals to medical care (at least in major hospitals) to payment systems (these are actually kind of slow everywhere in the world, as residents here would know if standing behind someone at 7-11 trying to use their phone to pay...cash is much faster.) The banking system is mostly secure, and I make most all payments---staff and suppliers---via a combo of laptop and phone (to receive a OTP). Electricity in generally good, and tends to survive thunderstorms (unlike a residence I have in a European country, where I receive an alert on my phone during storms to unplug my wifi and TV boxes, lest they blow out). When the power does go out in my BKK area, I'm impressed technicians can go through the rat's nest of wires at every junction and determine where the fault lies. I've lived in many countries, and have chosen Thailand for the time being to be my port of call. I am well aware every nation has its particular issues, and I simply accept what they have here. All in all Thailand works quite well, and its pluses outweigh the minuses for me. -
