The entire board of directors of Thai Airways has resigned amid a bomb threat campaign and serious rows over management.
The resignations follow demands for change in the company's management from Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

He has criticised inefficiency and poor labour relations within Thai Airways International.

An investigation has been ordered into a spate of bomb hoaxes, believed to be related to a dispute between pilots and union leaders.

The board members are leaving their posts just four months after they replaced another set of administrators, who were themselves forced to resign over a near-disaster involving a Thai Airways jet.
