After landing at 9.45pm today, Myanmar's Opposition Leader Aung San Suu Kyi plans numerous activities in Thailand over the next four days, including visits to Burmese camps and unconfirmed talk with Thailand's opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva.
The chairman of the National League for Democracy (NLD) and member of parliament for Myanmar's Kawhmu constituency will start her first day with a trip to Mahachai, Samut Sakhon, where tens of thousand Burmese migrant workers are located. In the afternoon, she will return to Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok, to join the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum on East Asia.
On May 31, she will stay all day at the hotel to attend sessions and join the welcome dinner party. On June 1, in a plenary session, she will have a one-on-one conversation with Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum. At 11am, she will join a panel discussion on "Asian Women as the Way Forward". During the day, she will have a discussion with Abhisit at a time that is yet to be confirmed.
On the next day, she would head to Mae La camp in Tak province. She will hold meetings with ethnic leaders in Mae Sod and with Cynthia Maung - the famous Karen volunteer who treats victims of Myanmar’s civil war, refugees and migrant workers on the border – as well as visit her clinic in Mae Sot.
Suu Kyi returns to Myanmar on June 3.
