Schedules may change depending on program modification.
I chose the lives of the ThaiPBS channel because it is the channel I watched for the funeral of King Bhumibol, Father of the current King, but there will be other channels offering retransmissions with comments in English including Facebook lives.
Note that once the lives are finished, you can watch them on demand by clicking on the same links.
