Thailand's Election Threatens Myanmar's Democratic Struggle.

TL;DR Summary
Thailand's upcoming elections are crucial not only for the Thai people but also for the over 1.5 million Myanmar refugees and migrants living in the country. The election offers a chance for Thailand to reset its Myanmar strategy and change course, according to experts. The opposition Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties appear to have considerable support in the polls, but they will need more than 75 percent of the seats to offset the military seats and form a government. The outcome of the election could have a significant impact on Myanmar's democratic struggle.
