Royal Thai Army Radio and Television Channel 5 (Thai: สถานีวิทยุโทรทัศน์กองทัพบกช่อง 5 Sathani Witthayu Thorathat Kongthapbok Chong Ha, ททบ.5 Tho Tho Bo Ha or TV5) is a military-run and controlledThai television station.

This station is special from other Thai stations is it has feeds every year, so testcards can be watched yearly. The latest was 1/11/09

The time on top-left of the screen is only broadcast prior to the obligatory national anthem being played twice a day, once at 8:00 a.m., the second at 6:00 p.m.

Human and civil rights advocates, as well as those of free speech and democracy, have often pressed for the government to divest itself of state broadcasting, especially that of the military.
