Aung San Suu Kyi will also address the World Economic Forum on East Asia later this week. Her trip to Thailand comes just weeks before she is scheduled to tour several European countries.

She will give a speech to the International Labour Organization conference in Geneva on June 14. She will also visit Norway on June 16 to formally receive the Nobel Peace Prize that she won nearly 21 years ago. She will also address both houses of British parliament.
