Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai has asked the international community to respect the decision made by the Thai people at Sunday's charter referendum, the same way they do referendums in other countries.
Mr Don was speaking to reporters before attending a joint meeting of the cabinet and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) on Tuesday.

He said Sunday's referendum, which approved the draft constitution, conformed to international standards and the turnout was more than 60%.
Even though the referendum went smoothly and without problems some countries overlooked this and still clung to the past impression they had of Thailand, Mr Don said.
While many countries had sent their congratulations, some countries still had "reservations" over the referendum.
"I would like to call for the international community to respect the voice of the Thai people, the same way they do to other countries. The voice of the Thai people is not of a different standard from those of other countries," Mr Don said.
On Thursday and Friday diplomatic envoys would be invited to a briefing on the official result of the referendum now the government's roadmap and timeframe for the next steps had become clearer.
After the explanation the envoys would be able to raise questions. Meechai Ruchupan, chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC), Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam and other people would be present to give replies .
Asked how the United States had reacted to the referendum, Mr Don said: "I think they will follow further developments because the margin (between "yes" and "no" votes) was clear, by millions. There would not be any problem if this happened in other countries as the process was transparent and everything went moothly.
"What is more important is Thailand must move forward. We have wasted a lot of time. What happens today will decide the future."
After the referendum, the United States on Monday urged the junta to return the county to a civilian-led government "as soon as possible".
At a press briefing, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said there were still concerns about the drafting process of the constitution. It was "not inclusive" and lacked "open debate" before it was adopted.
