Thai public OKs PM's peace plan

Bangkok - Thailand's Prime Minister said on Friday his five-point reconciliation roadmap has the widespread support of his people, despite skepticism from the opposition.

"An overwhelming 80 percent of Thais support what the government wants to do," said 46-year-old Abhisit during an interview with members of the Asian press, citing the results of a poll.
