Thailand has invited regime leader Min Aung Hlaing to a regional summit that it will chair next month, becoming the second country in the world after Russia to welcome the leader of a 2021 coup that has devastated Myanmar.
Doesn't Thailand have a military coup every few years? When I visited back in 2014 there were signs all over the airport telling tourists not to join the protests against the latest military coup or you'll end up in a Thai jail!
