WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army's top general has called Thailand's army chief, General Prayuth Chan-ocha, to urge a return to "democratic principles" after the Thai military seized control of the government in a coup, the Pentagon said on Friday.

The Pentagon described the call between General Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, and Prayuth as constructive and added he believed the conversation took place late on Thursday.
