BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's junta could pick one from among 19 previous constitutions if a July referendum rejects a draft charter unveiled last month, a constitutional panel spokesman said on Tuesday.

The January document was the junta's second attempt at a draft after the previous charter was torn up following a May 2014 coup by the military.
