Thai general promises not to stage coup after election
The chief of Thailand's army has pledged that the military will not stage a coup after the next election.
The Thai military has successfully seized power 12 times since 1932, in addition to seven failed attempts.
General Chalermchai Sitthisat said the military would respect the outcome of an upcoming election.
The ruling junta has repeatedly promised to restore civilian rule since toppling the elected government in a coup three years ago.
