Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has "a date in mind" for when parliament will be dissolved, which he said will come before the government's term ends late next month.

He declined to disclose the date in his remarks to reporters late on Thursday, which was the first time Prayuth has said the house would be dissolved early. According to a timeline in the constitution, an election must be held by May at the latest.
