BANGKOK (Reuters) - No major changes are planned to Thailand's draft constitution, a spokesman for the committee pulling it together said on Friday, despite criticism from politicians that it is undemocratic as the one-year anniversary of a military coup approaches.

Thailand's National Reform Council will finish its week-long debate on Sunday before sending the draft to the cabinet and the junta for feedback.
