THAILAND'S military government is considering a public vote on whether to proceed with an auction of oil and gas concessions amid opposition to contract terms that have drawn interest from several international companies.
The military has stifled political debate since staging a coup in May 2014 but has allowed a rare open discussion on energy policy relating to the contracts. Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told a public forum on the concessions on Friday that the junta was considering a poll.
