The heartbreaking incident that occurred on Tuesday, when a bus fire claimed the lives of 20 young students and three devoted teachers, has been further scrutinized, unraveling some unsettling truths.

Thai Airways International (THAI) is gearing up to soar back to its prime, with sights set on exiting its rehabilitation phase and reclaiming its position on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) by the middle of next year. Leading this ambitious return is Piyasvasti Amranand, the mastermind of the airline’s debt rehabilitation process. Fueling this optimism is the airline’s impressive performance, having reached a landmark profit of 28.1 billion baht last year and maintaining the momentum into the first half of this year. Piyasvasti attributes this success to a meticulous three-year makeover plan that has been nothing short of triumphant. However, the financial waters aren’t entirely calm just yet. As of June 30, the airline’s ledger showed a daunting red mark of 40.42 billion baht. Undeterred, THAI is on a mission to wipe clean this red ink through an innovative capital restructuring strategy. This plan, crucial to the rehabilitation journey,…
