Aung San Suu Kyi visits refugees
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met refugees from her country in Thailand.
Ms Suu Kyi has been on a visit to Thailand, where she was shown around Mae La Camp, in Tak Province.
She was greeted by thousands of people from the area, many of them refugees from the old Burma who have been living on the border for 45 years.
They were cheered by the visit of the Nobel laureate, who has been meeting Thai officials.
She has also been attending the World Economic Forum on East Asia in Bangkok, where she spoke on Friday.
Aung San Suu Kyi has not been to Thailand for 20 years.
Until last year, she had been a prisoner in her own home in Myanmar for a total of 15 years.
She will head to Europe in mid-June, with a stop in Oslo where she will formally accept the Nobel Peace Prize she won 21 years ago.
