BANGKOK (Reuters):Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin discussed overcoming political divisions with predecessor Prayut Chan-O-Cha on Thursday (Aug 24), in his first meeting as premier as he prepares to form a cabinet from a crowded 11-party alliance that includes fierce rivals.

Srettha sailed through a parliamentary vote to become premier on Tuesday and will head a tricky coalition that includes parties backed by the military, which has repeatedly manoeuvred to topple governments led by his Pheu Thai Party.
