Thailand is expected to hold its first general election in four years this May, which could mean a new premier as Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has reigned as prime minister and before that military leader after staging a coup in 2014.
While the political fortunes of Gen Prayut and the current coalition government remain hazy until the poll, a number of laws, projects and proposals could be halted or delayed as a new government nails down its priorities.
