AMCHAM is pleased to welcome Ambassador Michael George DeSombre in his first address to the AMCHAM community. Speaking directly from the residence, he will host a member-wide video conference. After his opening remarks, he will engage participants directly in an open question and answer session on the U.S - Thai bilateral relationship, the unprecedented challenges brought by covid-19, and future prospects.
