When are Thai Elections?

[elvis2334]

Haven't posted much, but always like reading the reports.
Planning on returning to LOS in May and am wondering if the Thai government will be holding elections in 2011.
Have also read about recent Red Shirts marching - anything happening other than peaceful marches?
Would hate to have to postpone because of any potential trouble around election time.
Thanks guys.

That's the requirement - before the end of the year. When they'll be is anyone's guess.

He was wheeled out for his birthday last month and was quite obviously struggling.

More worrying was some of the comments between some members of the Privy Council and the Yank Ambassador re the Crown Prince and the succession that came out on wikileaks.
