[Board] Request for approval OSGeo Thailand Chapter

[Jeff McKenna]

By the way, great to see the OSGeo-TH logo Sarawut!  (I noticed you 
added the logo to the wiki page today)  https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Thai

By the way, there was a big problem with the wiki, that took me half a 
day to solve, but then finally I could upload the OSGeo-TH t-shirt pic 
for your page ha!  Small world indeed, great minds think alike :)

Talk soon!
