For the first time in history, Thais will go to vote in a referendum on a new Constitution on August 19. The government and other organisations are campaigning for people to exercise their right to vote, no matter yes or no. Meanwhile, certain other groups are encouraging people to vote no.
The Nation online is providing their readers with details of the new charter from the Constitution Drafting Committee's website, so that they can make their own decisions whether to vote yes or no.
