UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will not discuss Burma when he makes his first visit to Thailand next month, Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said Wednesday.

Surayud said the visit will concentrate on Thailand's engagement with various UN agencies rather than the Burma issue, which had already been exhaustively discussed in the UN General Assembly in New York, the Nation newspaper reported.

Ban Ki-moon will visit Thailand on December 9,10 and 11. Thailand will hold elections for a return to civilian rule on December 23.
