Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has briefed world leaders including the US and Russian presidents about political developments in Thailand and asked them for time to implement reforms before they make any judgements on his administration.
"I thanked US President Barack Obama for his concern about Thailand and I told him my government would do its best (for national reform)," Gen Prayut said. "I told Russian President Vladimir Putin that order had been restored in Thailand."
"I told all the leaders that Thailand was relatively peaceful now," he said.
Gen Prayut said he explained the political situation in Thailand to these and many other leaders at the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing during brief discussions.
The leaders, specifically including presidents Obama and Putin had expressed concerns about the situation in Thailand, he told the Thai News Agency.
He said they asked whether the situation in Thailand had returned to normal.
"The leaders asked about the situation in the country and I replied the political atmosphere was improving but we need more time to implement reforms," Gen Prayut said.
Mr Obama and Mr Putin expressed their concerns during brief conversations. The Russian president also asked for updates on reform progress, Gen Prayut said.
"I responded to President Obama by thanking him and assuring him that we are doing our best. Mr Putin asked if the situation had returned to normal and I replied that all is in order," the prime minister said.
The premier also revealed that his Chinese and Japanese counterparts — Prime Minister Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — had promised to lift travel warnings on Thailand. The countries issued the travel warnings soon after the military coup on May 22.
More than 50 countries have issued travel warnings to their citizens about travelling to Thailand since the coup, according to the Foreign Ministry.
The Tourism and Sports Ministry recently said at least six countries had lifted their warnings. Political unrest, the imposition of martial law and the coup have hit the tourism sector in the last year.
Tourists from China and Japan accounted for 23% of 26 million foreign visitors to Thailand last year, according to the Tourism Department. About three million Chinese tourists visited Thailand in the first nine months of this year, a 17% drop year-on-year.
