From the South China Morning Post
Thailand will hold a third round of parliamentary elections this weekend, the Election Commission said late yesterday, calling for an unprecedented return to the polls in an effort to stave off a deepening political crisis.
Commission secretary-general Ekkachai Warunphrapha said the new round of voting would be held on Saturday in 13 constituencies where a second round on Sunday was inconclusive.
Could one of you local guys tell us if Pattaya is one of the 13 constituencies affected? I'm headed that way for a few days over the weekend (need to recharge the batteries!), and will need to plan ahead if the pubs are only going to be able to serve juice!
Cheers,
